The way they walked down the hall though looked like they were models. Straight up vibe

[@pxgzcookie]

Ive never played in the nutcracker, but in my time of doing ballet, the rats looked like they were having the most fun out of anyone.

[@SuperNovaVerse]

They were always my favorite part because of the amount of chaos that always began.

I was expecting a generic "but it's actually blood, sweat and tears and an extremely difficult form of art that - " but we got this and that's pleasing to me

[@0räc1e.....1st]

We really are the highlight of the whole ballet 🥰🥰

[@tubofmacaroni]

This makes me wanna learn ballet for the sole purpose of being a ✨rat✨ Edit: where in the name of sheet music did you all come from???

[@Gonegirl0101]

This comment is too funny 😂😂

[@shielatv22]

The dream is commendable. 😂

[@shizukagozen777]

I don't know if that's the case everywhere but here in Paris, the Opera's students are called the "little rats of the Opera". 😆😋🐀

[@tubofmacaroni]

That settles it then.

I remember going to see the Nutcracker on a school trip. The Rat King did the griddy onto the stage. Made my day.

[@cewkietron6571]

Ahhh! This is so niche, I love it!! I never danced ballet "officially" or anything, but I'll never forget being backstage as a nervous 6-year-old, watching the Mouse King beg for foam cheese from our ballet instructor who was holding the prop basket. The people who played the lead roles at our ballet studio were always the absolute sweetest people, and super patient with us kids. I miss those days.

[@DoNotTrustHorses]

Hahahahahahahaha you have formed a picture in my head of a child rat king on his knees in front of a grimacing ballet teacher scream crying: "THE CHEESE, THE CHEEEEESE PLEAAAAAASEEEEEE, JUST THE CHEEEEESE!!?!?!?!"

They were still so elegant with their chaos, I love it!😂

0:09 is the best part 😂 I once in a while come upon the video again and again and its always made me watch until that part. I never want to forget it ❤

[@treeperson1697]

I got to be a mouse for a small production of the nutcracker and it was so much fun

[@sexybiggorilla]

I didn’t know the rats were chill like that

[@papabell4831]

I love how they know they are nightmare fuel but 100% own it.
