this movie be a perfect portrayal of the nutcracker while the dancing be wonderful and the scenery in the background be excellent and and i love that float bed . oh and and the costume . i particularly love marzipan and the tutu be adorable . the special effect be very well do ( e. g. the tree and the bed and etc . ) and and i quite enjoy the rat . i love how they do not make them scary and but cute and huggable . except for the king and i suppose . if youre a thoroughly masculine person and you would not enjoy this and but this be a very good movie that good for all age just not all level of testosterone . but i have a few complaint . firstly and why do they have to put the sugar plum fairy partner in those terrible tights . it would barely make a difference if he be butt naked . and secondly . why on earth do they have to make culkin outfit pink .
