Pros Clara shows some agency; the music is wonderful.
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 »

You know they say that you will get paid back for everything you did while you were young through your children? Enter = "Barbie in the Nutcracker"

I never got into Barbie. My daughter is a Barbie FREAK!! and this video only fuels her obsession. It's not your typical Nutcracker story but... 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 »

Pros It's the only movie Barbie's got!
Cons This isn't the traditional Nutcracker story.
Recommended it? Yes

This is what my 5 year old Barbie, ballet fan said over and over again. Smart cookie. I don't blame her. There was really nothing spectacular about this movie, save for the cool scene between Barbie and her sister Kelly in the beginning at the dance studio.

I expected too much with this... Read full review »

Cons my 3yr old son hates it

I'm in the local toy store with my mother, who thinks it's her right to spoil my kids . We are headed for check-out and I'm thinking, ok, we are getting out of here with only a mild spoiling, when my mother spots the movie Barbie in the Nutcracker. I beg my mother to pass it by. She yells to my... Read full review »

Pros Fun portrayal of The Nutcracker story for kids. Finally, it makes sense!
Cons Whiny bat character gets annoying, but not too bad.
Recommended it? Yes

When I was a child, my mother took me to see "The Nutcracker" when the local professional ballet company performed it. I didn't get it. I knew it was all about some girl and the nutcracker and a lot of fanciful characters from another world, but beyond that, I was stumped. So I was bored. Sure, the... Read full review »

Pros great music, nice "good wins over evil" story, BARBIE!!
Cons not as neat (to me!) as the original Nutcracker story, Barbie stereotypes
Recommended it? Yes

I was NOT going to buy this video. Although my 2- and 4-year-old daughters LOVE Barbie, I am still fighting the whole tiny waist, perfect hair thing. I was not going to perpetuate it by buying this commercialized version of the ballet that I loved!

BUT ... after renting it from the video... Read full review »

Pros It's a very cute story for young girls with Barbie saving the day.
Cons It's boring and has a weak story line that doesn't hold older kids.
Recommended it? Yes

Barbie and the Nutcracker were very cute characters. During the course of the movie Barbie receives a nutcracker as a Christmas present from her jet setting aunt. During the night when the magic comes to life she tries to defend the nutcracker from an evil rat king who puts a spell on her and makes... Read full review »

Cons See above. lol
Recommended it? Yes

Well personally I thought this movie was not that bad. After a couple years of "I wanna watch Barney!" over and over again, I was pleased when my daughter wanted to watch this movie. It may not be the traditional Nutcracker story, but to be honest I was glad that it wasn't. I saw the ballet and... 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
