The Sorcerer's Apprentice is a 2010 film produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, distributed by Disney and directed by Jon Turteltaub (of National Treasure fame).Centuries ago, the great wizard Merlin trained three apprentices: Balthazar Blake (Nicolas Cage), Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina), and Veronica (Monica Bellucci). However, Horvath betrayed them to Morgana LeFay (Alice Krige), resulting in Merlin's death. In the aftermath Veronica and Morgana ended up trapped in an artifact known as the Grimhold, in which Balthazar later manages to trap Horvath. With his dying breath Merlin tasked Balthazar with finding his heir, the Prime Merlinian, who can end Morgana's evil forever.Centuries pass with Balthazar travelling the world, hunting down evil sorcerers and seeking the Prime Merlinian, until the year 2000 when he finally finds him in the young Dave Stutler (Jay Baruchel), a boy living in Manhattan. Unfotunately, Horvath escapes just long enough to force Balthazar to trap them both for ten years. In 2010 both Horvath and Balthazar escape. Horvath seeks to release Morgana once again and now Balthazar has to track down Dave and teach him the magic arts.The whole thing was largely Nicolas Cage's idea, wanting to expand upon the classic Mickey Mouse cartoon short from Fantasia. The film even has a full scene dedicated to it.Just keep in mind that if something doesn't make sense, A Sorcerer Did It.Completely unrelated to the direct-to-video 2001 film of the same name, which was given the RiffTrax treatment. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |

Chekhov's Gun: The wolves in a calendar photo that Dave's roommate uses to motivate him early on. They end up being animated by Horvath a little later and chase Dave through a train station. The urn, although admittedly it doesn't take very long to fire. The bull statue took a little bit longer. The radio tower at the station Becky works are made into a small plot point, and Dave's Tesla Coils are made into a very prominent set piece. Related to the Tesla Coils, Dave demonstrates to Becky he can use them to shoot sparks that play music. This is how he defeats Morgana. The title. Everyone's waiting for the scene where David carelessly animates some brooms. | |

Ring of Power | |
| The Sorcerer's Apprentice / int_2b726e19 | comment |
Ring of Power: For David and Balthazar specifically — a number of the wizards present cast their spells using other objects as well... like a cane, a pendant, and a belt buckle, just to name a few. To be able to cast spells without such a focus is what proves David's destiny as Prime Merlinian. It is worth noting that Horvath's cane appears to incorporate his ring as the head. | |

Evil Sorcerer: The Morganians, who are an entire group of sorcerers who follow Morgana's teachings. The key among them, besides Morgana herself, is Maxim Horvath, who was one of Merlin's apprentices until he chose to serve Morgana. Morganians are opposed by Merlinians, the followers of Merlin's teachings that magic is to be used to serve humanity. The film only shows three of them (Balthazar, Veronica, and Dave) and no indication is made that more are (or were) present. | |

Heroic Sacrifice | |
| The Sorcerer's Apprentice / int_6439de78 | comment |
Heroic Sacrifice: Veronica made one back in the Middle Ages, casting a reverse Grand Theft Me spell to trap Morgana's soul in her body, then convincing Balthazar to trap them both in the Grimhold. Balthazar attempts the same thing with less successful results. His planning to go off alone to take on Horvath and Morgana may also be considered one. | |

Magic A Is Magic A: They don't go into an extreme amount of detail regarding how magic works, but it is consistent regarding the actions and concentration of the user and the need for a Ring of Power to channel their magical ability. A circumventing of the normal rules is also present, and made into a major plot point. | |

Masquerade | |
| The Sorcerer's Apprentice / int_6ef09297 | comment |
Masquerade: ...Sort of. There does appear to be one, as fairly early into the movie Balthazar says it would be "complicated" if regular people found out about magic. While it's never stated why we can guess at a few justifications: a lot of people probably couldn't live in a world without fixed rules and would kill themselves en masse, many more charlatans would pop up claiming to be able to perform magic, some people who otherwise wouldn't have tried would discover they have magic powers and would use them to exploit others, and other problems. After the first couple fights, however, it's not mentioned again, and the characters don't even bother trying to hide or disguise their magic anymore. | |

Token Romance | |
| The Sorcerer's Apprentice / int_713d994b | comment |
Token Romance: Dave's relationship with Becky, on its own, would've made a half-decent love story about a physics nerd and music buff falling in love. As a romantic subplot to this film, however, it felt like it was duct-taped on. However, without Becky, Morgana would have succeeded in raising her army. It also serves the overall story to parallel Balthazar's own romantic backstory and his relationship with Dave (with the master not wanting his apprentice to make the same "mistakes" he did), so it's actually justified on that level as well. | |

Later Played for Laughs and lampshaded when Balthazar, disguised as a policeman, tells other policemen that the visitors of the "Asian festival" (in Chinatown) were "hitting on the sake" too hard.

Present-Day Past | |
| The Sorcerer's Apprentice / int_82a631b8 | comment |
Present-Day Past: During the opening credits of the film, the song "The Middle" by Jimmy Eat World plays. Keep in mind that the scene is set in 2000, and the song wouldn't become a hit until two years later. The shots of the Manhattan skyline in 2000 at the beginning of the sequence above, taken from uptown looking downtown and from a bus going past it, have two glaring errors: There is no trace of the Twin Towers, which would have been visible at the time (though, to be fair, digitally adding them back in would have called the wrong kind of attention). The Bank of America Tower is visible to the right of the Empire State Building on the bus. Construction of Bank of America Tower did not begin until 2004, and it wasn't completed until 2009. | |

Invisible to Normals | |
| The Sorcerer's Apprentice / int_c042eee9 | comment |
Invisible to Normals: Pure magic spells like energy projection are invisible to regular humans. Becky is incapable of seeing a giant fiery pentagram traced across the sky, for example. Matter manipulation, telekinesis, and similar spells, on the other hand, are fully visible, since they're acting upon visible objects. | |

Shout-Out | |
| The Sorcerer's Apprentice / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Several to the original "Sorcerer's Apprentice" from Fantasia, including a reenactment of the famous broom scene and an appearance by Mickey's wizard hat. Or possibly the original ballad by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. This memorable exchange: Balthazar's outfit, complete with snazzy hat, is exactly the same outfit Harry Dresden wears on the cover of his books. Complete with bulletproof rawhide trenchcoat. Even Butcher noticed the similarities. There's a Magic: The Gathering poster in Drake's office. Who could have missed Buzz Lightyear? Also, there is something very familiar about the way Dave took the Grimhold off the stand.... Balthazar Blake's full name seems very much to be a shout-out to Bastian Balthazar Bux. Dave's tesla coils play Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" and OneRepublic's "Secrets". | |

The Little Shop That Wasn't There Yesterday: Played with. The Arcana Cabana is quite visible to Dave's teacher and fellow students when he tells them about it (and the store is also physically there ten years later, but abandoned and then refurbished into something else, when Balthazar goes back for the Encantus), but what he told them about (the battle, the two sorcerers, the fire) is gone, with everything as neat and undisturbed as it was before. | |

Masquerade Paradox | |
| The Sorcerer's Apprentice / int_c86552d6 | comment |
Masquerade Paradox: The closest thing we get to a justification for the Masquerade is when Balthazar says it would be "complicated" if regular people found out about magic. It's easier to enact the Masquerade, as pure magic spells like energy projection are invisible to regular humans (e.g. Becky is incapable of seeing a giant fiery pentagram traced across the sky); however, anything acting on physical objects (e.g. matter manipulation, telekinesis) is still fully visible. After the first couple of fights, the Masquerade isn't mentioned again, and the characters don't even bother trying to hide their magic anymore. | |

Freudian Excuse | |

Freudian Excuse: Poor Drake was left by his master at age fifteen with no explanation. He even says himself he has issues with it, but he doesn't seem to show it very often, if at all. Horvath could be a candidate for this as well, since he lost his love, but that doesn't give him the excuse to destroy humanity and turn evil. | |

Reflective Teleportation | |
| The Sorcerer's Apprentice / int_cca855ea | comment |
Reflective Teleportation: One of the spells a wizard in this setting can use is turning reflective surfaces into a portal to an empty world that mirrors our own. This spell, called "the Hungarian Mirror Trap", is first used by the main hero to trap an enemy wizard mid-fight and is later used by that same villain to trap the heroes mid car chase, forcing them to find another reflective surface. | |

Interchangeable Asian Cultures | |
| The Sorcerer's Apprentice / int_d5a060a8 | comment |
Interchangeable Asian Cultures: First simply alluded to when Balthazar tests an old Chinese woman by speaking Cantonese. Since it was Horvath in disguise, he responds in English saying "Oh, you speak Mandarin!" which tells Balthazar that this woman is actually Horvath in disguise. Later Played for Laughs and lampshaded when Balthazar, disguised as a policeman, tells other policemen that the visitors of the "Asian festival" (in Chinatown) were "hitting on the sake" too hard. Dave nearly blows their "slightly ignorant beat cop" disguise by correcting him, saying that "Actually, sake's Japanese." Balthazar later tells him off for not staying in character. | |

Historical In-Joke | |

Historical In-Joke: As it turns out, there was a witch in Salem... the one who accused everyone else. In fact, the real-life Abigail Williams fled Salem when the witch trials were coming to a close. In real life, she probably either died or made a new life under a different name, but in the context of the film this could easily be explained as Balthazar having captured her. And yes, she really was a child (age 11) instead of the seductive teen in The Crucible. | |

Infodump: The movie's beginning. It is also sort of misleading: it said that over the centuries Balthazar fought various evil sorcerers, trapping them within layers of the doll, and he eventually captured Horvath as well. One may be left with the impression that before Morgana is released, a horde of evil sorcerers and sorceresses would have to be released. In the end, the doll only contains three villains besides Morgana. | |
