Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe 1935 Rolls Royce Phantom that was used in the film is a one of a kind and actually belongs to Nicolas Cage. The filmmakers were trying to find a really cool classic car and Cage offered it as an option to use.
- GoofsWhen trying to explain to Dave the difference between sorcerers and humans, Balthazar says that humans use only ten percent of their brains. This is a popular urban legend, and is completely false. But Balthazar only asks, "You've heard that humans only use 10% of their brains?" However, he is not affirming the mistaken notion, he's merely asking David if he's heard of it.
- Crazy creditsThere is a very brief (30 seconds or less) scene at the very end. SPOILER: The scene opens in the store Arcana Cabana, where we see the Mickey sorcerer hat under glass, then Horvath's hat, followed by a hand (Obviously Horvath, since we see his cane as well) picking it up and a roach left behind.

I thought the film was good it was a little awkward at times between Dave and Becky also i enjoyed Cages Mentor as Blake also didn't mind the whole science is magic angle as well love this was disney's attempt to make Fantasia Universe i know they were hinting at Chernabog for his first live action appearance on the screen also enjoyed it has stuff included from the arthurian myth Merlin and Morgana. The Fights were great no use of wands or laser swords it was all hand magic A Fun And Underrated Modern Take On The Arthurian Legend While Creating its own thing
Score By Trevor Rabin(Remember The Titans), Cinematography By Bojan Bazelli(G-Force) direction by Jon Turtletaub(Cool Runnings) A Fun And Underrated Modern Take On The Arthurian Legend While Creating its own thing 7/10
