The Sorcerer's Apprentice

We are in Florida at the moment and took the kids to see this.

We all really, really enjoyed it.

Nicolas Cage is Balthazar, who along with Horvath and Veronica were Merlin's apprentices until Horvath falls in with Morgana le Fay to betray Merlin. Morgana and Veronica get into a fight, and Veronica to save Balthazar takes Morgana's spirit into her own body and is imprisoned by a grimhold.

Long story short, Balthazar finds Dave (Jay Baruchel) as his apprentice to fight off Horvath and save Manhattan. There are homages to other movies - always love to see Star Wars references - "you don't need to see his faculty ID" "these are not the droids you are looking for".

The dancing mops scene from Fantasia is in there and is very good.

My kids are 12 and 15 and they enjoyed equally as much as I did.
