The Nutcracker Prince

Kiefer Sutherland, Megan Follows, Mike MacDonald, Paul Schibli, Peter Boretski

This animated version of the Christmas classic is more about combat than dancing, which will make it appealing to boys leery of a female protagonist. When Clara (voiced by Megan Follows) is delighted ...( read more  read more... )with his gift of a nutcracker on Christmas Eve, toy maker Drosselmeier is inspired. He tells the tale of how his nephew rescued a princess and was promised her hand when the evil Mouse King turned him into the nutcracker, making him a prince only among dolls. That night, Clara has fitful dreams about the battles between the Nutcracker Prince (Kiefer Sutherland), backed by his legion of toy soldiers (including a commander voiced by Peter O'Toole), and the enormous mouse and his minions. When the prince is finally victorious, he invites her to come to his doll kingdom. A dream-conjured Drosselmeier obligingly shrinks her and she climbs through her dollhouse castle door into a world of flying swans, sugarplums, and ballerinas. This 68-minute movie based on E.T.A. Hoffman's book The Nutcracker and the Mouse King will interest ages 2 through about 10. --Kimberly Heinrichs

    A cartoon adventure, with not much ballet intact; which can be a good thing. It's a quality production. I like the animation style.

    I remember I loved this when I was little, but now it's one of the kid's movies I have outgrown. Kids will love this, though.

    This was the classic tale of the Nutcracker brought to life in an animated version. This is a great family holiday movie. You will want to watch it over and over again.
