    Barbie fans who have been waiting for the platinum-tressed supertoy to break out of her mold will be enchanted by this computer-animated fantasy, a setting of classic holiday tale. Fans of The Nutcracker -- best known in for the timeless Tchaikovsky-scored ballet, which was based on an Alexander Dumas adaptation of E.T.A. Hoffman's original tale -- may question a few creative choices. Here the evil Mouse King (voiced by Tim Curry) shrinks plucky young Clara to toy size. Since only the Sugarplum Princess (yes, "Fairy" would appear to be copyrighted) can reverse the spell, Clara and the brave Nutcracker set out across the Sea of Storms to find her. There are daring rescues, comical snow fairies, and fantastic creatures to captivate youngsters. The computer animation is not up to Toy Story or Shrek standards, but the Mouse King and his hench-bat are memorably rendered. The London Symphony Orchestra performs Tchaikovsky's beloved music, and Peter Martins of the New York City Ballet choreographed the dazzling ballet sequences. Barbie gives a bravura performance in her dual roles as Clara and the Princess; Clara is a positive role model, yearning to discover the "world of wonders" and not content to let the Nutcracker fight her battles for her. The queen of dolls certainly makes this Nutcracker sweet. Donald Liebenson, Barnes & Noble

    Barbie does not perform any balletby Anonymous

    September 26, 2009: I bought it hoping to introduce my grandchildren to the Nutcracker Ballet. This DVD is anything but the Nutcracker Ballet it purports to be and represent. No actual ballet in it but a story that has no relevance. Very disappointed.

    I Also Recommend: Braveheart.

    January 25, 2008: My neice and I rented this movie because we got so many good coments on it from other people. We thought it would be like the ballet, and actually have more dacing and music. But all we got in the end was just a silly little musical. We actually thought this movie would be at least half way decent because it had my neice's favorite doll in it"Barbie". But she did not enjoy it at all.
