Pretty, and fun for the Christmas season...
“Nutcracker: The Motion Picture,&#34; directed by Carroll Ballard (“The Black Stallion”) is an adaptation of the Pacific Northwest Ballet’s production of Tchaikovsky’s ballet as conceived by Kent Stowell and Maurice Sendak. The movie is basically a recreation of the stage version, with a few alterations. Ballard attempted to capture the individual personalities of the dancers and make the narrative stronger so that audiences understood that most of what is seen is dreamed by Clara. Stowell revised several sections of the choreography, while Sendak revised some designs and created new ones.<br /><br />The cast is comprised of dancers from the stage production. Clara is played by 12-year-old Vanessa Sharp, and Hugh Bigney — with lots of make-up and facial prosthetics — plays Drosselmeyer, a much older man. Other leads include Patricia Barker as the older Clara, and Wade Walthall as the Nutcracker Prince. Actress Julie Harris provides the narration.<br /><br />Though the film is quite pretty, it lacks the excitement and magic of live performance, which has kept “The Nutcracker” a favorite for generations. Even though Ballard has incorporated some optical effects to enhance the magic tone of the piece, the movie never achieves the exhilarating feeling one has watching a live performance.<br /><br />There are no bonus features on the Blu-ray release.
