Poor Clara! It was so hard for her to kill all of the mice that were led by the Mouse King. Luckily, the Nutcracker soldier/prince helped her defeat them in the scary scene of the ballet. Hooray for her toy! Thumbs up if you were terrified of this scene when you were a kid.

I am in the nutcracker as a rat! We have mice a rat king and rats

[@andreapatane4204]

This scene really scared me to death when I was a kid and it still does scare me today as an adult. 👍🏻 if you remember seeing the mice, the 🐁 King, the Nutcracker soldier/🤴🏻 and the soldiers save Clara from the rodents that were planning to kill her and make them their 🐁 Queen.

[@RedRobertify]

They're supposed to be unly mice, but those look more like fierce big rats on the cover.

[@randomone8811]

I am in the nutcracker and have been more than once...it surprised me that people always thought we were mice. We are actually rats! :D It is interesting because rats are actually smarter than dogs.

I adore the trombone line (1:08, 2:28).

[@chriscarr7397]

Thank you!!

Love the Mark Morris company's Hard Nut version, the toy soldier shoots himself in the foot and hops offstage in apparent agony.

I'm playing rat king and the father and head of the dragon 😅
