Nutcracker: The Motion Picture Official Trailer #1 - Wade Walthall Movie (1986) HD

[@Jacqueline2279]

I remember watching this when it came out. I was seven years old and i have never forgotten the pure joy I had seeing it! It was so magical!

[@edigabrieli7864]

Nutcracker fan here and I have seen them all. But this one is still my favorite production a true visual masterpiece.

[@RabidNemo]

If you think it's a visual masterpiece on film imagine seeing it in person! My grandma and I used to go every year

[@seattlered3018]

I saw this when I was 7 years old for the first time and I fell in love with the film. Beautiful music, dancing, costumes and artwork.

[@patriceescandon9532]

This is my favorite film version of the Nutcracker--I remember my father showing this to me and my siblings when I was young, and it has stayed with me ever since! The scenic design and creative staging and gorgeous costumes, but also the psychology still remains with me! This is probably the most unique and innovative production and worth finding! I wonder where it is available to watch?

[@nmitch5883]

I had them order it for me to pick up in store at barnes and noble

[@RabidNemo]

I was lucky enough to see it in person! Many times my grandma and I used to go every year. A lot of people in the Seattle area were truly heartbroken when they decided to end the production after more than 30 years

[@xiaothetroll3345]

this is the most legit nutcracker oh

[@roselin8882]

One of my favorites 🖤 a true classic. I had to buy it, nostalgic

[@jennasmith9309]

This is my favorite Nutcracker. My favorite part was always the beginning: Drosselmeyer making the dollhouse, Clara's nightmare, the Christmas party. Someone needs to upload those parts.

[@stylex19]

I saw this on PBS what had to be about 30 years ago. I was totally awestruck by the production, cinematography, and performers. I have always liked the music of the Nutcracker, and had seen several stage presentations of it, but this one is just unrivaled!

[@ToplessTopics]

Ugh why does KZbin have an upload of every version of Nutcracker except this one x.x

[@billwenham]

Three years ago they did actually. I finally just bought the streaming version on Amazon today after realizing KZbin had taken it down. This was one of my favorites as a kid.

[@LaDracul]

Apparently it's $3 to view here. :/

[@bonib_bonchichi]

so sad why they'd taken it down... i miss this one as my childhood memory... wish could have some scene here... especially the opening scene... love it so much

[@bonib_bonchichi]

this one is my childhood memory! (watched it when i was 3 i guess?) i was so attracted with the overall design, everything is no like the technology stuffs today, handmade with so much details; especially the toy house with mirrors and the ballet doll at the beginning of the scene, looks like a kaleidoscope. (always wish to have such pretty toys when i was a kid haha!) Didn't know that the illustrator was Maurice Sendak, (back at that time there's no google search and wiki), sadly realised he's passed away few years ago... may he RPI...

[@RabidNemo]

Imagine seeing it in person! My grandma and I used to go every year

[@JackCaliber]

That part where the Mouse King kept growing heads was one of my favorite nutcracker moments of all time.

[@LarryBanks85]

I still remember this movie.

[@chiwhiner]

Watched this on tv while sick with a fever when I was a little kid and even though I remember being rather bored at the time, drifting in and out of sleep, feeling like it went on for four hours... the set design, the costumes, and the weird psychosexual symbolism have always stuck with me. Honestly, until I found this trailer I thought I might have dreamed the entire thing. Can’t wait to stream it tonight.

[@BlakCircleGirl]

There's my childhood right there.

[@ktskyed5770]

My sister and I loved this.

[@PJVids83]

I honestly didn't think I would like this film because I've had terrible luck with Nutcracker movies. The Macaulay Culkin version was incredibly boring, the Dakota Fanning version was horrifying, and the animated one was nothing special. Well, I went into this version very nervous and came out pleasantly surprised. At times it feels like a technicolor classic musical from the 1950's and the performances were just as good as the dancing. Well done.

[@VictorNewman201]

Philip Zamora I saw it this Christmas for the first time in many many years, it was wonderful. I dont normally enjoy ballets or musicals but everything about this was really special.

[@willlyon7129]

Philip Zamora Not to mention the recent Disney movie that they turned it into a mess of a movie that is a ripoff on Narnia, a chosen one plot, and twist villain. At least this version dose justice to this adaptation and emphasized on the dark elements of E.T.A Hoffmann’s story.

If you're talking about The Nutcracker: The Untold Story, that was Elle Fanning

[@LaDracul]

The Pirliplait story in the prologue, Clara feeling that Drosselmeyer may have improper feelings for her, going from a child to a woman through the remains of the Mouse King's cloak...wow, there's a lot of Freudian stuff going on...

[@Blueberry40]

So in this version is Drosselmeyer a pedophile? Because for the longest time I thought he was just a Godfather trying to win the affection of his Goddaughter. I didn’t think it could be a Lolita thing. Is this confirmed or no?

[@michaelthecreative1529]

@@Blueberry40 From the way I see it, Drosselmeyer in this film is depicted as a reclusive and mysterious figure who longs for the days when Clara was impressed by his stories and toys. There’s many things in the film to support this, such as Clara finding more enjoyment out of the Nutcracker than with Drosselmeyer’s mechanical palace. Another example would be when the same actor who plays Drosselmeyer later plays the Pasha, who attempts to impress Clara with his dancers but fails when she returns to the nutcracker. The opening narration also implies that Drosselmeyer used to tell her wonderful stories, but when she turned 13 he changed and became more burdened by her growing up and moving away from him. While the film version does come off as creepy sometimes, I never saw anything more than a sad godfather who longed for Clara’s happiness and affection.

[@Sandlot1992]

i saw this movie on Netflix!

[@nunu1869]

[@ThatWeirdPlaceInYT]

I love this movie. I'm just wondering why they had to make Drosselmeyer creepy in this version.

When I told mrs kim that it was hard to see in my wolf costume for the seven little kids and the wolf I told her about the tiger from this ballet and she was terrified to hear that it was a tiger but she was relieved to hear that the tiger in the ballet is just a costume

[@pedinurse1]

Where is Mother Ginger, she is an integral part of the ballet, why are the flowers wearing such hideous dresses? The corp and pricipals are excellent technicians, the kids are great. The Sugar Plum Fairy PDD was great choreo but her costume is lacking so much. And the cavalier did not have to wear a hideous moustache.

[@matteotate4283]

🔥 I absolutely love this movie. 1:33 💗💓💝 👇👇

[@SWITCHdonkeyFLIP]

Crazy how this piece of God-forsaken nightmare fuel was designed by Maurice Sendak aka the author who made Where the Wild Things Are...

[@jal605]

Wade Walthall was my ballet teacher when I was young. Granted I didn't give a crap about ballet but he was rude as hell and smelled like BO.

[@versuskid4232]

Would love this version it’s almost perfect except for the blackface make up that was disappointing to see even some of the Asian characters were depicted by white dancers. It’s stereotyping in some of the roles is what sets it back.

[@RabidNemo]

I'll get over yourself! People have used makeup and other things for decades to portray different races during a play. This was one of the best versions of the nutcracker ever produced!

[@jesterfairy3845]

@@RabidNemo Just because it's been happening for ages, that doesn't make it okay. I agree the production is lovely, but I also agree with the original comment that this stuff should stay in the past.
