Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDespite the fact that Clara and her brother call Drosselmeier "uncle", he is actually not related to them. Hans, the Nutcracker, is his nephew.

- Quotes
Mousequeen: The spell you broke on your head falls, you shall crack nuts, prince of the dolls.
- Crazy creditsThe opening credits feature sketches of some scenes from the film, displayed as framed pictures against a brown background before the last one segues to the film's first shot as to begin the story.
- Alternate versionsThe end credits in the international Majestic Films/Allied Filmmakers prints have credits for Majestic Films International and Allied Filmmakers along with Jake Eberts as an executive producer. The American print by Warner Bros. doesn't have the credits for these three.

Featured review
Okay, even I'll admit that this is not one of the most spectacular animated films even made, but that doesn't take away from how much I love it. The characters are lovable and interesting, even Clara's family keeps our attention. This movie is a wonderful holiday film for all ages, filled with humor, adventure, and a little romance. It was about time the Nutcracker had a back story and a name. And for once he wasn't ten years older than Clara with a beard and cape (a cape that's always there when he's a nutcracker yet rarely there when he comes to life). I enjoyed how Uncle Drosselmeier's story was presented in a more comical style of animation. And it ends the way all children (especially little girls) always wanted it to end.
