Summary: What a combination!
Review: Barbie in a Christmas classic... somehow that struck me as a big odd... Anyway, I've found that my kids somehow prefer these 3D animated "cartoon" to the traditional ones. For that reason, they've watched this probably more than they would have it it were just a cartoon. But overall this is a video the kids will enjoy.

Summary: For small lovers of Barbie and ballet - buy it!
Review: Having a five year old Barbie and ballet freak in the house we had to try this one and she really loved it! And to our surprise so did the rest of the family. Surely both The Nutcracker and ballet should be seen live! BUT for family entertainment, if you like animations, and for Barbie lovers of all ages this one is great.

Summary: Really cute movie.
Review: After purchasing this movie for my daughter for Christmas, we found it very well animated, and a great movie for kids of all ages. There is no violence, or anything that you wouldn't want your child to see. Well worth it.

Summary: Yuck!!!
Review: I am so glad I decided to view this video before I spent good money on it. The computer animation is stiff and wooden, and the plot doesn't keep to the original version. The characters talk, instead of just dance the story. My 4 yr old daughter was screaming all through the mouse fights. Then for some reason the sugarplum fairy is the only one who can restore Barbie to her original size. Somehow she had become shrunk. My daughter who loves both ballet and Barbie just ordered us to turn it off. Any ballet fans should steer clear of this one. Take your child to see the real thing, or invest in a video that has live ballet dancers in it.

Summary: Mom of 2 young ballerinas
Review: I have to say I was surprised by the quality of this movie. The story is not the "traditional" Nutcracker story, but it is a wonderful version of it, nonetheless. This movie is for every girl who loves Barbie and for every child, boy or girl who loves action and adventure. Both my girls take ballet and are totally inspired while watching it and often put on their ballet shoes and do the dance steps. The DVD is great because it has an interactive component where you can act with Barbie in different scenes. The documentary of the Ballet School is also a nice component for budding ballerinas to see what it's like to be a real dancer. This movie has also exposed my girls to the classical music of the Nutcracker which they now love listening to at home or in the car. I have bought several of these DVD's as gifts.

Summary: Beautiful video is enchanting, enthralling
Review: This variation of The Nutcracker opens children's learning horizons to include classical music and ballet. Every scene of the movie is breathtakingly intricate and vivid. It is a rainbow of color from beginning to end. The characters have such unique personalities--it's hard to believe they're not real. I was completely enchanted with the story--its pleasant surprises, twists and turns are delightful. I watch it with my 6-year-old every other week or so. I would recommend this movie to everyone of every age!
