Barbie in the Nutcracker

America's favorite pint-sized (literally) and plastic sweetheart, Barbie, stars in her very first movie. A take on the classic Christmas tale THE NUTCRACKER, this beautiful and inspirational film tells a similar story using extremely life-like CGI animation. Barbie, as both Clara and the Sugarplum Fairy, and her animated co-stars dance beautifully to choreography by the New York City Ballet's Peter Martins and music by the London Symphony Orchestra.

Cons Pretty much everything else.
Recommended it? No

(Yes, it's been seven years since I've written or posted a review.  But I just couldn't stand the plethora of Barbie movies in my house and not being able to pick at them in a public forum.  I may even be moved to do a series.)

The more I see "The Nutcracker" performed as a... Read full review »

Pros The Lady in Pink kinda, sorta dances to Tchaikowsky.
Cons 78 minute commercial for the infamous Pink Aisle at Toys R Us
Recommended it? Yes

I keep telling myself, ?Self, keep this in perspective.?

For example, was ?Barbie in the Nutcracker? produced to win awards? No. Okay, maybe cross-promotion awards ? but nothing like an Oscar. Heck, it wasn?t even designed to go to the movie theatres.

It?s sole purpose, is to... Read full review »

Barbie in Nutcracker [VHS]

Look who became a star. Barbie comes to life in this computer- animated Christmas tale that quite naturally takes the longtime favorite doll into a new realm. The plot is a slight variation on the traditional ballet based on Tchaikovsky's music. Instead of being in an open-ended dream, Barbie and her escort, the Nutcracker (soon to be Ken, natch), are on an adventurous quest. Along the way there are more creatures and derring-do than in the original. The sole known voice talent, Tim Curry, has a good old time as the Mouse King, and the animated dancing is gracefully adapted from New York City Ballet choreography. A few clever characters, bright animation, and wonderful music should entrance any Barbie fans ages 3 to 9. The 78-minute feature debuted on video shortly before playing on CBS in 2001. --Doug Thomas
