Barbie in the Nutcracker
Barbie in the Nutcracker is a 2001 animated fantasy film co-produced by Mainframe Entertainment and Mattel Entertainment, and distributed by Artisan Home Entertainment.
Loosely adapted from E. T. A. Hoffmann's 1816 short story, "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King", and featuring music based from Tchaikovsky's 1892 ballet, The Nutcracker, it marked the character's first film since the 1987 television specials; Barbie and the Rockers: Out of This World and Barbie and the Sensations: Rockin' Back to Earth, with Kelly Sheridan providing the voice of Barbie. It was also the first Barbie movie to be computer-animated.
Barbie in the Nutcracker premiered on VHS on October 2, 2001, by Artisan, followed up with a DVD release a few weeks later on October 23. before being subsequently released overseas through Entertainment Rights and Universal Pictures Video. The film sold more than 3.4 million units on DVD by 2002, and grossed $150 million in total sales. It won the Video Premiere Award for Best Animated Video Premiere Movie.
Barbie tells the following story to her little sister, Kelly, who is having trouble rehearsing a ballet solo.
In 1890s Germany, Clara lives with Drosselmeyer, her stern grandfather, and Tommy, her little brother. On the night of Christmas Eve, they receive a surprise visit from their aunt Elizabeth. She brings toys for the siblings, including a nutcracker for Clara. Tommy attempts to wrestle it from Clara and damages the Nutcracker's arm. Clara mends the toy, and falls asleep by the Christmas tree.
At midnight, magical dust travels about the room, and Clara awakens to see her Nutcracker suddenly alive, and fighting an army of mice led by the wicked Mouse King. The Mouse King uses magic to shrink her down to his size, and Clara and the Nutcracker make a swift escape.
The Nutcracker explains that he was also transformed by the Mouse King, and he and Clara decide to find the Sugarplum Princess, the only person who can undo the spells on both of them. The owl on the grandfather clock gives them directions to the Sugarplum Princess and gives Clara a locket that will send her back home when she opens it.
The Nutcracker and Clara go through a mouse hole into a portal to an ice cave. They leave with the help of the snow fairies and enter the Nutcracker's home, Parthenia. The two journey to the gingerbread village. There, they meet two children, who tell them that the rightful heir to the throne, Prince Eric, has gone missing. The group narrowly escapes the Mouse King's army when they are saved by Major Mint and Captain Candy, who lead a small group of villagers in hiding. Mint reveals that Prince Eric's careless attitude led the former king to pronounce the Mouse as temporary ruler until Eric accepted his responsibilities. Clara realizes that the Nutcracker is the missing Prince Eric; when the Mouse decided he wanted to be king permanently, he turned Eric into a Nutcracker. Eric hopes to redeem himself and make things right again.
