One of the best sequences in the movie is the ballet performance when Clara first arrives in the realms, and I wish there could have been more of this. I think using Tchaikovsky’s score was a wise decision, if a somewhat obvious one. The Nutcracker and the Four Realms is an absolutely gorgeous film. Although reluctant at first, Clara resolves to help Sugar Plum get the key back and stop Mother Ginger. Nutcracker Philip, Sugar Plum and everyone else warns Clara that Mother Ginger, ruler of the fourth realm, is an evil tyrant who wants to destroy all the realms and the master of the mouse that stole the key. Once there, Clara finds a key to open a locked box that her mother left to her, but before she can use it, a mouse steals it. The family attends a Christmas party held by Clara’s godfather Drosselmeyer, and the pursuit of her gift leads Clara to the magical land of the Four Realms: the realm of sweets, the realm of flowers, the realm of snowflakes, and the land previously called the realm of amusements. The young Clara is crushed at the loss of her mother and feels as though her father doesn’t care. The Nutcracker and the Four Realms takes character’s names, some vague story beats and famous iconography from the original story, and utilizes the score and some choreography from the ballet. Is The Nutcracker and the Four Realms a new Disney classic, or are you better off sticking to the Barbie movie? Let’s take a look. Hoffman story sounds like something that should be right up my alley, especially given that they use Tchaikovsky’s score from the ballet, much like in their animated Sleeping Beauty.

I watch a lot of films and series made for children and families because that’s usually what I like I love bright colors, inspired visuals, women in beautiful dresses and knights in shining armor. I want to make clear that I’m not a cynical person in general, but particularly not when it comes to movies. Disney is my favorite thing, but the notion of them adapting either the short story or the ballet was hard for me to picture. I’m no expert on the original story, but I’ve seen the ballet in person, and I willingly admit that I might still occasionally watch Barbie in the Nutcracker at Christmastime. When I heard that Disney was making a movie based on The Nutcracker, I was a little worried.
