![]() ![]() While it may seem odd to release a Christmas movie on home video almost a month after the holiday, the truth is that the holiday is more of an entry point to a family adventure that has little to do with it. Some critics have faulted it for having too many themes, but all of them feel relevant in the context of Clara’s mother empowering her daughter with the skills and lessons that will help her in life. There are certainly familiar elements, particularly to The Chronicles of Narnia, but The Nutcracker and the Four Realms also dares to be its own thing. Like the best fairy tales, new layers are revealed as the story unfolds. She will have to traverse through a world of her mother’s creation to find the key and discover how much like her mother she truly is. At her Godfather Drosselmeyer’s Christmas party, she follows a ribbon meant to take her to her present, which ends up leading her through a portal to the mysterious Four Realms where the key she needs is ever out of reach. With lavish sets, costumes, and digital effects, the film is a rich feast for the eyes with a world so detailed you can almost smell it.Ĭlara Stahlbaum has just received the final Christmas present from her recently deceased mother, a metal egg-shaped trinket box without a key to unlock it. An all star cast including Helen Mirren, Keira Knightley, Morgan Freeman, and Mackenzie Foy lead the film, along with ballet icon Misty Copeland. Hoffman and the perennial ballet, The Nutcracker and the Four Realms takes the core elements of the story and transforms them into something new and original. Twenty years from now, audiences might ponder over why this, one of their favorite holiday films, wasn’t instantly embraced by the masses when it first hit theaters. But then again, so was Hocus Pocus, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Newsies when they were initially released and look how they turned out.
