A wonderful holiday tale
Added 11/18/2009
I remember watching this many years ago with my younger siblings during Christmas and have been looking for it. I'm glad it's available on DVD now so that I can share it with my preschooler. We watched it this afternoon and I was happy that the magic of the story and animation is still there, and my preschooler loved it too. This version of the Nutcracker remains more faithful to the E.T.A. Hoffmann's version of the story.Young Clara (voiced by Megan Fellows of "Anne of Green Gables") receives a wooden nutcracker at Christmas from toymaker Drosselmeier, who regales her with the story of how the nutcracker came to be the way he is. That very night, Clara has dreams about a fantastical battle between the Nutcracker Prince (voiced by Kiefer Sutherland) and the evil Mouse King, and the outcome is one that not only affects the Nutcracker's freedom but young Clara's future as well. The accompanying music by Tchaikovsky enhances the animation and makes it all the more magical. The themes explored include those of courage, loyalty, and sacrifice. This is a family friendly feature that will entertain both children and adults. Recommended.

The Nutcracker Prince DVD
Added 4/14/2009
My wife and daughters were very excited to have this movie. It was less than $15, nor hard to find, as other sellers claimed. Beware of sellers asking more than $20 for a DVD. The law of supply and demand applies only to those who are too greedy to ask a fair price, and those who are too eager to part with their money, regardless of the item's perceived value or rarity. Remember Beanie Babies? Pokemon cards?
