filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Daniel Dell From what I've heard, this looks even WORSE than the Emoji Movie. That may not be saying much, but it still feels like something Sony Pictures made that's WORSE than the Emoji Movie. WHY WERE JIM CUMMINGS AND JEFF BENNETT IN THIS MOVIE??!! The animation is HORRIBLE!!! It makes the Emoji Movie look like a Universal-DreamWorks Movie!!! It's the 1999 equivalent of Rapsittie Street Kids. Still doesn't change the fact that that movie is worse. Why tell the story of the Nutcracker through the perspective of the food?? THIS MAKES NO SENSE!!!! THIS FEELS LIKE SOMETHING THE NOSTALGIA CRITIC SHOULD DO!!!!!It was a straight to video movie that was made by Sony Pictures. Yes, even before the days of Sony Pictures Animation. You though the Star was bad? You thought Eight Crazy Nights (a Hanukkah movie) was bad? The Nuttiest Nutcracker was even worse. I don't know if the Nuttiest Nutcracker is worse than the Emoji Movie or not, but it kind of looks worse. Jerry Smith doesn't know any better. You wanna know what's worse? The Nuttiest Nutcracker even had a TV appearance on CBS!!! I'm not joking. This was aired on CBS of all channels!!!! CBS literally AIRED this Atrocity. Just like how the WB aired the Rapsittie Street Kids.

ButterJuggets666 Did you ever have a thing that made no sense but you start noticing things and you look at it on repeat to the point where it gives the room you are in some sort of background "white noise" comfort? Well probably not in your case, but hear me out. I loved watching this film, not because I'm some weirdo, no, that's unrelated ;). No this fu*%er is so weird that I marveled at its very existence. Now I see that Phyllis Diller, Cheech Marin, and Jim Belushi probably needed some work at the time, but still how they stooped so low as this animated version of "Night of the Living Dead" I will never know. My main draw though? My obsession? How about looking for the mistakes made in the film. There are so many glitches and errors in this "film" that looking for them is like a sport. When you look closely and see how early CG animated films would goof up, causing a peanut to look like it was having an epileptic seizure, you start laughing with the hindsight of how this thing could have even ended up on a DVD much less possibly once aired on T.V. during a Christmas way back. The characters I can only describe as the spawn of Satan manifest in the Matrix. The Nutcracker Prince looks like the freshly revived corpse of Michael Jackson set loose on the world once again. The food products are... odd, to say the least, especially that one female nut. I can't tell what kind of nut she is supposed to be? As for Jim Belushi's rat King? Oh dear Gawd, there are so many mistakes done with the character at some points it looks like some sort of Eldritch horror. Phyllis Diller's Sugar Plum Fairy has to be the most pointless character in the film, showing up at times to "narrate" or something. I figure she needed a pay check and they added her in, though I'm probably wrong. This film when subjected to the gaze of an adult is perplexing to say the least, and could possibly be used as an interrogation technique by the CIA. Anyways, it's a horribly done CGI animated crap fest from 1999 starring A list voice actors, C list Actors, and Phyllis Diller. And for me it was a guilty pleasure to nitpick the mistakes and glitches while pondering the mystery of its very existence and how they managed to even pay Jim Cummings to do the voice acting. Well nice talking to you, now off to the institution...

tkballos This animated cartoon has incredible graphics, comparable to Toy Story or Veggie Tales. The content is funny with quirky twists and turns. It is animated enough to entertain a two year old, and cute enough to also entertain parents. While loosely following the Nutcracker story, the movie contains great Christmas messages about believing in yourself, believing in those around you, and keeping the spirit of Christmas. Very entertaining with great, upbeat, inspiring music. The actors did a great job on the voices. Phyllis Diller's and Cheech Marin's characters were hysterical. This movie has become a holiday classic for our family.

sweetadditions-hot a movie made primarily for kids who have not seen or heard the original story, or have just enough familiarity with it that they will sit through the entire video to the end. It tries way too hard to appeal to the " 7-10 year old, bathroom talk is funny" set. Marie's character is hard to sympathize with since you don't know how old she is supposed to be...is she a child who is sad because her toy is broken or is she a teenager who resents her parents for not being home for Christmas ? Too much jumping between original premise and the modern spin to be believable. Visually the computer graphics could have been better but would have been forgivable with a better attempt at a story. Individual performances by Jim Belushi and others were done well. Again this will appeal to some kids, but not a movie the whole family will sit down and watch together once the kids are past 10 years old.
