I really loved how all the characters were made in this movie. Their outfits and everything were so amazing. If you’ve seen some of the other Nutcracker movies, and loved them, I’d highly recommend this one as well. It’s an amazing movie! I love that it was made by Disney as well. Disney makes some of the best movies in my opinion. This one was another great one. You can own this one on Blu-Ray or DVD January 29th, so get ready to grab your own copy soon!

The Nutcracker is one of my favorites. I collect them and have watched the ballet more times than I can count. I wasn’t sure how I would feel about this movie, but after watching the trailer a few times and talking to a few friends, I’ve convinced myself it is a good one and will be exciting and new!
Right! I love all the nutcracker movies.
That is such a cute little craft to make! My daughter is so interested in watching this movie!
I’m sure she’ll love it too.
We weren’t able to catch it in the theaters. Scheduling conflict. We do look forward to watching it in the privacy of our own home soon!
I hope you’ll enjoy it, which I’m sure you will!
We loved this movie a lot! I’d rate it “watch again-worthy”. Can’t wait to own it, so we can watch it again!
