Barbie in the Nutcracker-360P

Barbie in the Nutcracker

Starring Kelly Sheridan from MLP Friendship is Magic. It's not anything groundbreaking, but a fun special to watch with the family every Xmas. 1000s of Barbie cartoons followed and a cameo in the Toy Story movies.

This adaptation is the closest we will ever get to a "Accurate Nutcracker" movie Tim Curry as the Mouse king will send chills down your spine.

No hero is worth his salt without a great villain, and no actor is better at playing an animated villain than Tim Curry. Yeah, the animation's nice for a 2001 project and yeah, it's basically a feature-length advertisement for the deluge of toyetic characters and props that it features, but you know what? They put their all into making it as entertaining an ad for toys as G.I. Joe or Transformers ever were. The story's pretty solid, the action's not to bad, Barbie is a surprisingly interesting character in her role as Clara. But by far the best element in this film is Tim Curry as the Mouse King, who you have to wonder why ANYONE would leave their kingdom and magic scepter to inherit. My only real complaint about this film are the deviations from the source material. Don't get me wrong, most of them work but a few are clearly there to pad out the movie or shoehorn in more of Tchaikovsky's original Nutcracker score. But, seriously, if nothing else, watch this film for Tim Curry. Playing power-hungry, deliciously evil villains are when he's at his very best, and the Mouse King is no exception.

It's a great movie to watch when you have free time of course it's not the best movie even if you search for animation movies but it's good at his own

This film will always be iconic. It is iconic because of the scenery,ballet dancing and the animation. The message is really good and it is simple to follow. I love the twist in the end. A great Christmas story to be told

10/10 (for what it is.) I enjoyed this for years as a young girl in the late 1990's and its cute and nostalgic to watch today! Definitely a great film for kids, has a lot of different things going on but is easy for younger kids to enjoy as well. Can't believe how some people are reviewing it on here. No its not going to win any awards, but its great for what it is: an adorable, but sophisticated movie for children to enjoy! I'm keeping this in my collection to show my friends future kids when I babysit. Could be enjoyable for adults to watch with the children, it doesn't come across as "stupid" like some other children's movies and shows
