[.ca] Barbie in the Nutcracker (Widescreen)

From Amazon.com:
Look who became a star. Barbie comes to life in this computer-animated Christmas tale that quite naturally takes the longtime favorite doll into a new realm. The plot is a slight variation on the traditional ballet based on Tchaikovsky's music. Instead of being in an open-ended dream, Barbie and her escort, the Nutcracker (soon to be Ken, natch), are on an adventurous quest. Along the way there are more creatures and derring-do than in the original. The sole known voice talent, Tim Curry, has a good old time as the Mouse King, and the animated dancing is gracefully adapted from New York City Ballet choreography. A few clever characters, bright animation, and wonderful music should entrance any Barbie fans ages 3 to 9. The 78-minute feature debuted on video shortly before playing on CBS in 2001. --Doug Thomas

For the kids, but still a solid effort:
"Barbie In The Nutcracker" is primarily for the kids. The music is fantastic and the computer-animated ballet sequences are great, but this is still a "Barbie" movie no matter how you look at it. I commend the "Barbie" people for using great production for the music and ballet, but the animation is a little bit square. Tim Curry is funny as the Mouse King, and the story did manage to hold my daughter's attention. She's two and one-half and didn't find the Mouse King too scary. None of the scenes in this flick are too scary as I recall. The other "Barbie" movies out there(a "Rapunzel" flick and "Swan Lake") have the same top-notch production that this movie has. They also share weak plots that won't hold an adult's attention. Keep in mind that this is strictly a children's movie. That's the only reason I'm giving it three stars. If I were a two or three year old girl, I'm sure I'd think this is the best movie ever.

Barbie dances into the heart of little girls:
My four-year old daughter adores Barbie and Kelly so naturally she wanted to see Barbie's the Nutcracker. I didn't have alot of expectations so I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this movie. The music and production values are excellent. Barbie is a positive role model as is the Nutcracker. The Mouse King (voiced by Tim Curry) and his bat sidekick are amusing. Even my six-year old son enjoyed the movie.

bam bam bam bam bam!:
HAAAAAAH!!! That stupid doll is down already!!! She is down by my laser gun! HEYYYY this movie is SOOOO ugly like all the Barbie movies!

Nut Cracker? Get it? Nut Cracker?:
Barbie is ugly. Barbie is one big hecka of a nut. So she's gonna be cracked by her own movie! Get it? NUT cracker? Barbie's a big, stupid nut, and there's a nut cracker, so she's gonna be cracked. YEAH!!!

And the 'Stupidest Movie Award' goes to...:
Barbie: The Nutcracker. As always, Barbie is annoying as ever. She dances and stuff. Yanno, this movie is sooo dumb all I wanna do is kill that doll! I wanna gun her down! She is such a boogerbrain. She is so kind yet so fluffy and cotton-candy like and so GIRLY! Awww! Aw, for PETE'S SAKES! Jeepers, this movie is a gee whiz. A gee whiz dumb! The first thing I will do to this DVD is smash it and thro it in the dung pile. All Barbie dolls are gonna lose their heads. This movie is so so so REALLY bad! oh damn... Anyway, there is an EASTER EGG in the DVD. Click on the up arrow, 5, 4, 48, 3855, 000, Setup, 9, and you will see outtakes. If you listen VERY closely, you will hear farting sounds. If you watch it in a plasma-screen TV I swear you will faint. That is Barbie farting out there! She trips on dolls too, and she had REALLY BAD BREATH.
