By-the-Numbers Version of The Nutcracker

The story is great (The Nutcracker is of course a Christmas classic) but the animation is rudimentary and the voice work is uninspired. Worth watching. Young kids will get bored.

A sweet Christmas classic

As far as the Jetlag Christmas outings go, I do prefer Magic Gift of the Snowman, but still find it an improvement on A Christmas Carol. The ending is perhaps abrupt and the voice acting is a little too corny at times, however the animation is overall warm and smooth, and Tchaikovsky's music proves to be as timeless as ever. I loved all the obligatory three songs too, Seasons of Love is really one to cherish forever, the dialogue is sweet and not too simplistic and the story has all the heart and charm it should. The characters do engage at least, Marie is very likable, the Nutcracker is dashing and the Mouse King is suitably menacing.

All in all, a classic for the festive season, and one of Jetlag's better animations overall. 9/10 Bethany Cox

sweet

Faithful to the original story. Seductive for the songs and atmosphere. Just charming as the fair definition of this very sweet and just lovely short adaptation of the classic by E. T. A. Hoffman.

Correct in essence, inspired music and great scene of duel between Nutcracker and mouse king, it has as basic virtue the wake up of nostalgia for childhood, discover of book and, sure, not the last, for 1990 decade.

Indeed, better versions but this animation, in obvious manner, has not the ambition to impress but to say, in honest manner, a familiar story and to seduce in graceful way.

So, correct and sweet - the two words defining this The Nutcracker.
