Nutcracker: The Motion Picture Official Trailer #1 - Wade Walthall Movie (1986) HD 

If you think it's a visual masterpiece on film imagine seeing it in person! My grandma and I used to go every year

I had them order it for me to pick up in store at barnes and noble

I was lucky enough to see it in person! Many times my grandma and I used to go every year. A lot of people in the Seattle area were truly heartbroken when they decided to end the production after more than 30 years

Three years ago they did actually. I finally just bought the streaming version on Amazon today after realizing RU-vid had taken it down. This was one of my favorites as a kid.

Apparently it's $3 to view here. :/

so sad why they'd taken it down... i miss this one as my childhood memory... wish could have some scene here... especially the opening scene... love it so much

@@billwenham I love this one the best too.

Cool, where?!

@@EvergreenCityBallet it was at a Goodwill in Temple Texas

So in this version is Drosselmeyer a pedophile? Because for the longest time I thought he was just a Godfather trying to win the affection of his Goddaughter. I didn’t think it could be a Lolita thing. Is this confirmed or no?

@@Blueberry40 From the way I see it, Drosselmeyer in this film is depicted as a reclusive and mysterious figure who longs for the days when Clara was impressed by his stories and toys. There’s many things in the film to support this, such as Clara finding more enjoyment out of the Nutcracker than with Drosselmeyer’s mechanical palace. Another example would be when the same actor who plays Drosselmeyer later plays the Pasha, who attempts to impress Clara with his dancers but fails when she returns to the nutcracker. The opening narration also implies that Drosselmeyer used to tell her wonderful stories, but when she turned 13 he changed and became more burdened by her growing up and moving away from him. While the film version does come off as creepy sometimes, I never saw anything more than a sad godfather who longed for Clara’s happiness and affection.

Philip Zamora I saw it this Christmas for the first time in many many years, it was wonderful. I dont normally enjoy ballets or musicals but everything about this was really special.

Philip Zamora Not to mention the recent Disney movie that they turned it into a mess of a movie that is a ripoff on Narnia, a chosen one plot, and twist villain. At least this version dose justice to this adaptation and emphasized on the dark elements of E.T.A Hoffmann’s story.

If you're talking about The Nutcracker: The Untold Story, that was Elle Fanning

I'll get over yourself! People have used makeup and other things for decades to portray different races during a play. This was one of the best versions of the nutcracker ever produced!

@@RabidNemo Just because it's been happening for ages, that doesn't make it okay. I agree the production is lovely, but I also agree with the original comment that this stuff should stay in the past.

@@jesterfairy3845 lmfao 😂 That a garbage take on art

@@RabidNemo I mean, okay. Care to tell me what value you find in it? What would we inherently lose if racial caricatures stop existing in antiquated performances?
