I love this movie so much

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

A Masterpiece!

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Since I saw the Barbie version when I was a young bun in the early 2000's, I just want to try this out to see what it was like! I never seen it before in my life until early Christmas morning in 2015 lol. You honestly don't realise that this movie was out 25 years ago, that's crazy! I thought the animation was alright but since 3-D nowadays improves old stories like this, I wouldn't be use to looking in 2-D version. At the same time, it's nice to have a break from 3-D in a while.Let's get talking about the film. I honestly thought the mouse king was quite scary, I don't know how children reacted to him. Even adults would think he's creepy for a villain! He should be added onto the top villains list in animations, it would suit him lol! It was even weird to see blood on him and that his mother was crushed. I think rodent lovers like myself would find it a bit upsetting to look at! I know it's meant to be a cartoon but they are based on a real animal!Moving on, I honestly wish Clara and the Nutcracker kissed, they looked to be so madly in love that it didn't make sense for me that they hadn't kissed! Regardless if it's meant to be a kids film, they still should've added in more love into it! It doesn't need to be over the top, it just needs more variety really! I wouldn't call this movie the best to look at but it would be better if kids over 10 could see this. I don't imagine kids under that age looking at this as they might be scared easily by the mouse king!

The Nutcracker Prince is a 1990 animated romantic fantasy film made by Lacewood Productions and released by Warner Bros. Pictures. The film was directed by Paul Schibli and based on the story The Nutcracker and the Mouse King by E.T.A. Hoffmann as well as influenced by its ballet adaptation The Nutcracker.The film centers on a young man named Hans who is transformed into a nutcracker by mice, and can only break the spell if he slays the Mouse King and wins the heart of a girl named Clara. The film features the voice talents of Jonathan Taylor Thomas as Hans (The Nutcracker), Mae Whitman as Clara, Roscoe Lee Browne as the evil Mouseking, Nigel Hawthorne as Pantaloon, an old soldier, Sandy Duncan as the Mousequeen, Kevin Michael Richardson as Uncle Drosselmeier and Tony Jay as the Opening Narrator. Music from Tchaikovsky's ballet rendition and Alan Menken is used at intervals throughout the film as the main instrumental soundtrack.

I remember seeing this film only once when I was young on Cartoon Network, and being completely enchanted. And though it was many years later when I saw it again, I immediately remembered its charm and sweetness. It's a fun take on the classic, with an innocence that makes it continue to dazzle me even now.Now, the animation was not the quality of Disney, but I wouldn't even compare it to Disney. Because one must remember that Canada's animation budget was not very good at the time it was made. However, despite the low budget, it's very nicely done. I especially enjoyed the silly animation during Drosslemyer's story. It was silly and well done. The characters were all enjoyable, and the relationship between Hans(Nutcracker) and Clara was childlike and enchanting. Nothing too forward or out there... simple yet enjoyable. I loved how they matched the lovely Nutcracker music to scenes throughout the film, it made it so enjoyable to watch. This film definitely deserves a chance, and I strongly recommend it to families everywhere.

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: ***
