A dejected nine-year-old girl finds her dreary Christmas in Vienna magically transformed by an enchanted gift in director Andrei Konchalovsky's adaptation of the timeless holiday classic. Just as it begins to look as if Christmas is going to be a total bust, young Mary (Elle Fanning) receives a gorgeously crafted nutcracker from her adoring uncle Albert (Nathan Lane). Later, as night falls on Christmas, the Nutcracker (Charlie Rowe) springs to life, and whisks Mary away on a breathtaking tour of the place where all Christmas gifts come to life. But something is amiss in this captivating world of wonder; the malevolent Rat King (John Turturro) and his wicked mother (Frances de la Tour) are plotting to claim the entire kingdom for themselves, and when they kidnap the Nutcracker, Mary teams up with the other toys to get him back.

Consumer Advice
Contains mild violence, threat and some scary scenes
Really lovely film. Adventure, a bit scary but happy ending.
Would recommend it to anyone. Good acting well phtographed. Still a bit too much for very young children.
The children in tbe film are goid actors.
Good production, & it explaned the ballet story for me.
No ballet whatsoever; wouldn't have minded them telling the story, but it would have been better to have kept some in - and at a minimum stated that there wasn't any.
