Storyline
The star of the movie The Nutcracker is a lovely little girl named Clara (played by Mackenzie Foy). Clara’s character desires a specific key. This key can unlock a box that holds a very special gift gift. It is a golden thread, presented to her at her godfather Drosselmeyerโs (Morgan Freeman, yeah I said flipping Morgan Freeman!) annual holiday party that leads her to the coveted key. But then the key somehow disappears into a strange and mysterious parallel world. Cue the beautiful cinematography!

Clara (Mackenzie Foy) and Phillip (Jayden Fowara-Knight) visit the Fourth Realm in Disneyโs THE NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS.
Inside this visually stunning world, Clara meets soldiers and a gang of mice who rule over the 3 realms. Land of Snowflakes, Land of Flowers and Land of Sweets. Clara and a solider (or Nutcracker?), Phillip must brave the ominous Fourth Realm, home to the tyrant Mother Ginger (Helen Mirren! Yup, This movie has star power!), to get back Claraโs key. They will hopefully retrieve the key and get back to their stable and peaceful world. There is a gorgeous sugar Plum Fairy with almost cotton candy like hair played by the delightful, Keira Knightley!

Review
I recently went to see this with my kids and my grandmother. We all enjoyed the impeccable Disney execution of the Nutcracker story. My kids said they would definitely see it again. My grandmother said it will be a classic comparable to “Wizard of Oz”. I agree! I want to make this movie a yearly Christmas tradition in my Disney family.
My favorite part was the costuming! Wow, the costuming was intricate and brilliant with delicate details. Mackenzie’s character wears some beautiful cap sleeves, empire waistlines that were overflowing in lace and tulle! The most eye catching costume was the Sugar Plum Fairy costume! I want to be her next year for halloween! By the way, there is an unexpected sugar plum fairy twist: which sounds more like an ice cream flavor than a plot story – but it is!
Misty Copeland is the epitome of passion stirred with grace. The manner in which she moves her head and fingertips is simply other worldly! I feel emotion when she dances! It was obvious why Disney chose her as the lead ballerina for this movie.
The capable female with her best friend being a kind solider of color is one example of the social norm that I want my son and daughter to soak in. I want their entertainment to reflect the world they currently live in: mixed, inclusive, and working together for a greater good.
One of the special little treats of this movie was the character that the comedian “Jack Whitehall” played. He is a beloved comic and I adore his performance in this movie. His delivery and physical comedic tricks really add a needed element to this movie.
Ultimately, I am sad that this movie is and was inevitably overshadowed by Wreck it Ralph 2: “Ralph Breaks the Internet”. The Nutcracker is the perfect wintery whimsical treat for this holiday season.

Meg, the costumes are so pretty! Our granddaughter is going to love this movie. Can’t wait for her to see it. I can see her dressing up as Clara now. Steve
Right?! The costumes are what captured my attention first. My sister used to be head of the costuming for the college’s drama department. I have such an appreciation now. Your granddaughter will love it – take her during the holidays.
Oh my goodness – you have no idea how excited I am for this movie! Will you be attending a premier of this one?
ME too, I am so excited. Another premier…..um….not sure yet. But let’s put it out there into the universe!!!!
How on earth have I not heard of this in the UK at all?! This sounds amazing! I’m loving 21st century Disney!
That’s what I’m here for Holly. I’ll be your connection to all this new and Disney. I got your back, hun!
The costumes and and cast are amazing. Even the set looks so dreamy. I always enjoyed classic stories so the Nutcraker is on my list of movies I want to see.
I enjoy the classics too. And it’s Disney – you know they will honor and respect the tradition of the story while recreating it in the most whimsical way.
