Nutcracker captures
the magic and fantasy of the ballet without requiring dancers
or choreography. On Christmas Eve, the mysterious Godfather Drosselmeier
presents Marie with an unusual Nutcracker. That night she is
awakened by a band of renegade mice, led by the evil Mouse King.
The Nutcracker, joined by a Ballerina, Feline Legation and Mistress
Clara, battle the rodents, and Marie defeats the Mouse King by
hitting him with her slipper. The heroes travel to the Land of
Toys to rescue Princess Pirlipat from the wicked Mouse Queen,
including Sweet Tooth and the cowardly mouse Rudi. The Nutcracker
and the princess are reunited, the curse is broken, and Marie
returns home with her toys to celebrate Christmas with her family.
