    • Trivia
      Despite the fact that Clara and her brother call Drosselmeier "uncle", he is actually not related to them. Hans, the Nutcracker, is his nephew.
    • Goofs
      During the battle between the Nutcracker and the Mouse King, Clara takes off her slipper and throws it at the Mouse King, in order to stop him from killing the Nutcracker. Moments later, however, she is seen backing up and both slippers are on her feet.
    • Quotes

      Mousequeen: The spell you broke on your head falls, you shall crack nuts, prince of the dolls.

    • Crazy credits
      The opening credits feature sketches of some scenes from the film, displayed as framed pictures against a brown background before the last one segues to the film's first shot as to begin the story.
    • Alternate versions
      The end credits in the international Majestic Films/Allied Filmmakers prints have credits for Majestic Films International and Allied Filmmakers along with Jake Eberts as an executive producer. The American print by Warner Bros. doesn't have the credits for these three.
    • Connections
      Featured in Siskel & Ebert: 3 Men and a Little Lady/The Nutcracker Prince/Predator 2/Mr. And Mrs. Bridge (1990)

    In comparison to the other animated adaptations of the Nutcracker, I believe this is one of the best ones.

    I wouldn't say it's absolutely perfect but it tells the nutcracker story well and the animation is really beautiful. I remember I legit thought it was a Disney movie by the animation.

    It's a nice wholesome film and I'd recommend watching it on a cozy Christmas, especially if you have kids.
