 Girls are thrilled!Jun 11, 2009
This was a birthday present for my six-year-old granddaughter. She was so excited that the could keep it and see it over and over. It's the kind of movie that creates intelligence and promotes imagination.
 Baryshnikov version is much betterDec 26, 2008
Very disappointing if you actually want to see some ballet dancing.
There is no real dancing for the first hour, just theater and kids running around. The battle with the mice is not very dramatic, and, because Macaulay Caulkin is playing the nutcracker prince, there's no
dancing there. The second act is better, as the various candies and
Darci Kistler are lovely. Caulkin is totally out of place and distracts. For a much better version, with lots of great ballet dancing and an absolutely fabulous battle scene with the mice, see the American Ballet Theater version with Baryishnikov and Gelsey Kirkland. Barynikov is out of this world as the nutcracker prince.
Wonderful Production!Dec 20, 2008
This is a wonderful version of the Nutcracker. It is especially helpful to those new to ballet because there is a narrator who explains the story. The dancing and costumes are beautiful! I would recommend this DVD to anyone who loves the ballet.
A rare family eventDec 02, 2008
The Balanchine's Nutcracker is one of the most beloved Nutcracker Ballets
in The United States. Many ballet companies have different versions of the holiday story, but this ballet is a warm exciting evening for all, even those who are not big dance enthusiast. You may not be able to go to the State Theatre in New York City to see a performance, but even better if you have small children, what a way to spend an evening at home with them. The narration on this DVD,by Kevin Klein also makes this an enjoyable relaxing evening
Best production of The Nutcracker Jul 24, 2008
This is really the best production of this ballet that I've ever seen! The costumes, staging and ballet are first rate. Macaulay Culkin is adorable as the Nutcracker Prince. It's also nice that the characters Marie and the Prince are performed by children.People with kids who like coloring pictures will be pleased to find a coloring book that is based on this production. Get this DVD, even if you have other versions.Nutcracker Ballet Coloring Book (Dover Pictorial Archives)
