It's the little things that make this movie so bad. I've seen a lot of Nutcracker movies, especially now for Christmas Month and honestly. I think Care Bears did it best. The rating's pretty high there! This movie is notorious for its ugly looking CGI. The worst part is seeing those rats with human faces. That seriously drove me nuts. Speaking of nuts, there's even a crotch joke in this movie.
This movie just makes no sense. There's one scene where the Queen Rat strengthens her powers by drinking this juice causing the nutcracker prince to turn back into a toy. What does that have to do with anything? There's obvious Nazi analogies and it's way out of place for a kid's movie not to mention one taking places before Nazis even existed. The Rat King looks hideous with his teeth. That scares me as an adult!
The nutcracker has this really bad voice and for some reason jumping on a pillow grows him to human size. The characters are especially annoying. There's this one kid who betrays his sister for absolutely no reason. I think it may have been influenced by the Narnia movie that came out at this time. The toys look awful with their CGI, especially the dancing ones. It's a terrible Christmas movie and terrible movie in general. *
