| Sorcerer in present-day Manhattan (Cage) has to search for and train a
new apprentice (Barcuchel), while at the same time trying to prevent
his nemesis (Molina) from raising the souls of dead sorcerers and
destroying the world.
An enjoyable film with a good cast, though certainly nothing special,
being as well-crafted as anything off the Disney production line,
though a bit lacking in soul. Nice to see Cage enjoying himself (and
well-cast) for once, and Molina is always a pleasing villain. And of
course, the namesake sequence from Fantasia (1940) is nicely evoked in
one scene.
