The Sorcerer's Apprentice (2010 film) The Sorcerer's Apprentice (2010 film) The Sorcerer's Apprentice is a 2010 American action-fantasy film produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, directed by Jon Turteltaub, and released by Walt Disney Pictures, the team behind the "National Treasure" franchise. The film stars Nicolas Cage, Jay Baruchel, Alfred Molina, Teresa Palmer and Monica Bellucci. The film is named after a segment in Disney's 1940 film "Fantasia" called "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" starring Mickey Mouse (with one scene being an extensive reference to it), which in turn is based on the late-1890s symphonic poem by Paul Dukas and the 1797 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ballad.

The Sorcerer Gilbert was completing "Engaged", a "farcical comedy", which opened on 3 October 1877. He also was sorting out the problems with "The Ne'er-do-Weel", a piece he wrote for Edward Sothern. Meanwhile, Sullivan was writing the incidental music to "Henry VIII"; only after its premiere on 28 August did he begin working on "The Sorcerer". The opening was originally scheduled for 1 November 1877; however, the first rehearsals took place on 27 October, and the part of J. W. Wells was filled only by that time. "The Sorcerer" finally opened at Opera Comique on 17 November 1877. The villagers of Ploverleigh
