Product Description:
Joining the new york city ballet for a sparkling version of the joyous holiday story with beloved tchaikovsky music and balanchine choreography. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 10/28/2008 Starring: Macaulay Culkin Jessica Lynn Cohen Run time: 92 minutes Rating: G Director: Emile Ardolino
Amazon.com:
Tchaikovsky's timeless Yuletide ballet is presented in an all-new movie version with as much eloquence as one would find in a live stage production. Replete with gorgeous costumes and scenery, George Balanchine's production, adapted by Peter Martins, features the New York City Ballet with narration by Kevin Kline. From the moment the Nutcracker prince winds toymaker Drosselmeier's life-sized dolls, viewers are ushered into the captivating story of a little girl's Christmas Eve fantasy of beauty, magic, and sugarplums. While several versions of this beloved tale are available in video, this one is distinguished for the magnificent performances of a large cast of young ballet dancers from the School of American Ballet. While Culkin lends his star-studded name, that is all he lends in what is mostly a wooden performance (he often appears on the sidelines looking quite blasé and detached). More deserving accolades go to Jessica Lynn Cohen as Marie, whose genuineness never wanes and dance steps never falter. Bart Robinson Cook is wonderful as the playful Herr Drosselmeier, and Darci Kistler is the graceful Sugarplum Fairy. Mostly this film belongs to children--both on the stage and in the audience. What is lacking in spontaneous energy of live theater is made up for in a perfectly polished performance. The only thing missing is the well-earned applause. --Lynn Gibson

One of the best performances of the Nutcracker that I've seen. I grew up watching the Indiana University Ballet Theater perform and this comes as close to that as any that I've seen either live or on video.

STEPHANIE SALAND AND DARCI KISTLER ARE TWO OF THE MOST CREATIVELY INSPIRING DANCERS WHO EVER GRACED THE STAGE. THANK YOU FOR MANY WONDERFUL EVENINGS AT LINCOLN CENTER - AND THANK YOU BOTH FOR BEING WHO YOU ARE.

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.

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 ... Read More

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.
