Today, the Nutcracker movie was on the Ovation channel. I have never seen this, but I did have a book that I read as a child that told the intriguing story.
I have to ask, why is this movie not a Christmas staple? Sure, it is on stage everywhere that has major ballets during Christmastime, but I think this should be a story that is told more often. It reminds me a bit of Alice in Wonderland...it is so strange and childish that it is entertaining to adults as well.
During the movie, my favorite part of the ballet is the Tea (Chinese dance), which is also in the film Fantasia, where tiny mushrooms dance to the tune.
Try to watch the dancing mushrooms and not smile. They are adorable.
