In this Pacific Northwest Ballet performance, it is Christmas Eve and festivities are under way. Clara (Vanessa Sharp) is excited when her godfather, Herr Drosselmeier (Hugh Bigney), arrives with a bag full of gifts, one of which is an intriguing wooden nutcracker. That night, while the rest of the household is sleeping, Clara visits the Christmas tree to inspect her nutcracker and soon finds herself immersed in a dream world that is both dark and enchanting.

Audience Reviews for Nutcracker: The Motion Picture

Jul 01, 2007

The most fantasy-filled magical version of the Nutcracker on film I've been able to find. It's the version which always captured my imagination like none other. I think it's designed to put kids to sleep on Christmas Eve, because it has a dreamy look and feel.
