The Nutcracker Prince (75 min)
Synopsis: Clara is on the verge of growing up with dreams of traveling the world in the grand ballet. During her family’s annual Christmas party, the mysterious family friend Drosselmeier gives Clara a Nutcracker doll. He tells her a story about a young man named Hans who rescued a princess under a spell by the Mouse Queen and her whining son. As punishment for his good deed, the Mouse Queen managed to transform Hans into a nutcracker before her death. When midnight comes, Clara finds herself trapped in the middle of a battle between the mice and her toys being led by the confused nutcracker prince. If the prince of the dolls can defeat the Mouse King and win the hand of a fair maiden, it will break the curse upon him. However, Clara must choose between the dream-world of her new companion and his adventures or her real world where the dreams and adventures of growing up still await her.
