The Nutcracker Prince Audience Reviews

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
jjgraham-00489 This story is something you will cherish! The villan in this movie is by far the best part. He is truly an unforgetable character and because of that you will be hoping Clara can somehow see this enemy finally banished from their world forever! Loved this movie
SMALLWHEELS101 This film was my favorite as a child and even watching it as and adult I love. There are only so many that can do that. I'm sure we all wish there was a little more of a love story between the two, but for a children's film its perfect. They don't want too much sappy stuff in there. I also love this type of animation, I hate this pixar crap, it bugs me. I miss the old stuff, like care bears and rainbowbrite. So anyway in conclusion, this is a great holiday classic for the whole family. If you would like to watch it, they have it on youtube or u can just purchase it on amazon. I hope u enjoy it as much as I have
Ron Broadfoot The Nutcracker Prince was the first (and last) big-screen movie that was helmed by Kevin Gillis and Sheldon Wiseman, the creators of the cartoon series The Raccoons. Along with big names like Megan Follows, Kiefer Sutherland and Peter O'Toole, it also featured many of the voice talents of The Raccoons, such as Len Carlson, Susan Roman, Liz Hanna, Noam Zylberman and Keith Hampshire (who sadly passed away in 2000). Unfortunately, it didn't become the box office success everyone hoped for, and it flopped. This is a shame, because The Nutcracker Prince is a movie that should be seen. It wasn't just a good opportunity for the animators to show their talents, but it was also a triumph of Canadian moviemaking. The music of Tchaikovsky was put to very good use here, and the song "I'll Always Come Back To You" should have been nominated for a Genie (Canada's version of the Oscar) for Best Song.If you can find a copy of it on video (it's hard to find nowadays), see it. You won't be disappointed.Rating: ***
pifitt I saw this movie a very long time ago and I loved it. I remember I had taped it off HBO or something like that, and I watched it all the time. Just yesterday I went to see the actual ballet, and it wasn't half as good as this enchanting little movie. I was very dissapointed with the ballet, it wasn't bad, it just did'nt follow of what I remember from this movie, a lot of things were different. But since I haven't read the book, maybe the ballet was more on track than this movie. But anyway the movie was much more entertaining than the actual ballet. Even though I am not trying to compare the movie to the ballet, because they are tottaly different things.
