Every Live-Action Disney Movie Remake Ranked Worst To Best

The Sorcerer's Apprentice often gets lost among the murk of the near-two-dozen Disney remakes because, well, nobody bothered to watch it when it hit screens in 2010.

The term "remake" is used rather liberally here of course, given that Jon Turteltaub's fantasy-adventure film is effectively a loose expansion of the Mickey Mouse segment from Fantasia.

But the appeal of casting Nicolas Cage to play a sorcerer skulking around modern day Manhattan in pursuit of Merlin's successor (Jay Baruchel) speaks for itself, and it delivers modest returns on that promise.

Cage is, unsurprisingly, electric and bounces well off Baruchel, while the $150 million production touts more appealingly creative visual pyrotechnics than most of the films on this list.

Narratively The Sorcerer's Apprentice is doing little fresh or original, but it at least has a real sense of charm and personality, which carries it a long way.
