    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Clara's kitten Pavlova was named after the Russian ballet dancer Anna Pavlova.
    • Goofs
      During the battle between the Nutcracker and the Mouse King, Clara takes off her slipper and throws it at the Mouse King, in order to stop him from killing the Nutcracker. Moments later, however, she is seen backing up and both slippers are on her feet.
    • Quotes
      • Mousequeen: The spell you broke on your head falls, you shall crack nuts, prince of the dolls.
    • Crazy credits
      The 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 versions
      The 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.
