Such a frustrating disappointment
Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
This film was my favorite as a child and even watching it as and adult I love. There are only so many that can do that. I'm sure we all wish there was a little more of a love story between the two, but for a children's film its perfect. They don't want too much sappy stuff in there. I also love this type of animation, I hate this pixar crap, it bugs me. I miss the old stuff, like care bears and rainbowbrite. So anyway in conclusion, this is a great holiday classic for the whole family. If you would like to watch it, they have it on youtube or u can just purchase it on amazon. I hope u enjoy it as much as I have
I saw this movie a very long time ago and I loved it. I remember I had taped it off HBO or something like that, and I watched it all the time. Just yesterday I went to see the actual ballet, and it wasn't half as good as this enchanting little movie. I was very dissapointed with the ballet, it wasn't bad, it just did'nt follow of what I remember from this movie, a lot of things were different. But since I haven't read the book, maybe the ballet was more on track than this movie. But anyway the movie was much more entertaining than the actual ballet. Even though I am not trying to compare the movie to the ballet, because they are tottaly different things.
It's a pity that this film didn't have the consideration it merites. The plot and the beautiful Tchaicovsky music are so well armonized I found it a piece as enjoyable for adults than for children. It's a nice movie full of sentiments and emotions. It's not the classical adventure movie you forget immediately it ends. This one really makes you feel emotions you keep long ago the movie has ended. I'll give it a 10.
It's about time E.T.A. Hoffman's tale of The Nutcracker and The Mouse King got a faithful adaptation. As one of the what, three people that have actually read the story - it's delightful to see the tale faithfully told, and told for children. In keeping with the tradition started with the Tchaikovsky ballet, it keeps the story light and suitable for children, without leaving out the main themes of the tale. The Hoffman story can be pretty gruesome at places, but this film manages to keep all the details (down to the Krakatuk nut!) in place, without taking away from the charm. They've managed to take some of the ugliest parts and present them comically - which is not an easy task. Good for them! A very good script, wonderful voicework (hey, I didn't know Megan Follows can sing) and just an overall sweet movie. Yes the animation isn't the greatest, but oh, who really cares? It's still a great movie.
