This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

A Major Disappointment

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Did you ever have a thing that made no sense but you start noticing things and you look at it on repeat to the point where it gives the room you are in some sort of background "white noise" comfort? Well probably not in your case, but hear me out. I loved watching this film, not because I'm some weirdo, no, that's unrelated ;). No this fu*%er is so weird that I marveled at its very existence. Now I see that Phyllis Diller, Cheech Marin, and Jim Belushi probably needed some work at the time, but still how they stooped so low as this animated version of "Night of the Living Dead" I will never know. My main draw though? My obsession? How about looking for the mistakes made in the film. There are so many glitches and errors in this "film" that looking for them is like a sport. When you look closely and see how early CG animated films would goof up, causing a peanut to look like it was having an epileptic seizure, you start laughing with the hindsight of how this thing could have even ended up on a DVD much less possibly once aired on T.V. during a Christmas way back. The characters I can only describe as the spawn of Satan manifest in the Matrix. The Nutcracker Prince looks like the freshly revived corpse of Michael Jackson set loose on the world once again. The food products are... odd, to say the least, especially that one female nut. I can't tell what kind of nut she is supposed to be? As for Jim Belushi's rat King? Oh dear Gawd, there are so many mistakes done with the character at some points it looks like some sort of Eldritch horror. Phyllis Diller's Sugar Plum Fairy has to be the most pointless character in the film, showing up at times to "narrate" or something. I figure she needed a pay check and they added her in, though I'm probably wrong. This film when subjected to the gaze of an adult is perplexing to say the least, and could possibly be used as an interrogation technique by the CIA. Anyways, it's a horribly done CGI animated crap fest from 1999 starring A list voice actors, C list Actors, and Phyllis Diller. And for me it was a guilty pleasure to nitpick the mistakes and glitches while pondering the mystery of its very existence and how they managed to even pay Jim Cummings to do the voice acting. Well nice talking to you, now off to the institution...

I first saw this movie when I was eleven, and now I'm 19 and I still watch it and bring it out to my college dorm to watch it. maybe some parts jump around a little, but it was a great movie and worth watching. Has really good messages/morals for kids, even if it doesn't stick the the original Nutcracker. Good for children of any age and will probably follow them as they grow up. The writing is a little weird sometimes, but I doubt any children will notice. I've watched the movie every Christmas since I first saw it and all the little weird-nesses never bothered me at all. Also, someone mentioned the grandfather came out of no where at the end, but obviously, they didn't pay enough attention during the middle.

a movie made primarily for kids who have not seen or heard the original story, or have just enough familiarity with it that they will sit through the entire video to the end. It tries way too hard to appeal to the " 7-10 year old, bathroom talk is funny" set. Marie's character is hard to sympathize with since you don't know how old she is supposed to be...is she a child who is sad because her toy is broken or is she a teenager who resents her parents for not being home for Christmas ? Too much jumping between original premise and the modern spin to be believable. Visually the computer graphics could have been better but would have been forgivable with a better attempt at a story. Individual performances by Jim Belushi and others were done well. Again this will appeal to some kids, but not a movie the whole family will sit down and watch together once the kids are past 10 years old.
