    • Trivia
      Even though Isabelle is 9 years old in the movie, Erin Pitt was 13 when she played her.
    • Goofs
      Many aspects of the Nutcracker rehearsals and show are not accurate. As many companies do multitudes of shows, there tend to be multiple children casts that all perform with the same company of adults. The movie insinuates that there is only one child cast. Rehearsals are also not so choppy as to what is being rehearsed. One days worth of rehearsal for the kids would be spent on one scene, like the party scene, meaning only those kids would need to be there. There would also be specific rehearsals for only the Claras. Finally, during the show, there is no way the backstage assistants (or whoever was in charge of the kids (as there usually is a parent in charge of the kids in a certain role)) would have made sure Isabelle was changed and ready in her solider costume before being able to watch her sister, if she had been able to at all. Also Jackie Sanchez would know to be in costume by the time the snowflakes are dancing. The snowflakes are the last dance of the first act. Jackie, as the Sugar Plum Princess would have already been in costume as she is on soon into the second act and would want to take the opportunity during intermission to warm up with the Prince.

    Ages of actors do not match up to their characters
    I heard the main character say she's in fourth grade, and I thought there is no way these girls are in 4th grade. So I opened the movie description and it says "9 year old Isabelle..." These girls look so old so I looked up their ages when they made this movie, and they were 14! I get that it's difficult to cast a bunch of ballet-talented 9 year olds for leads in a movie, but why not just have the characters be closer to 14 for the part?
