Amazon.co.uk Review
Look who became a star. Barbie comes to life in the computer-animated Barbie in the Nutcracker, taking the longtime-favorite doll into a new realm. The 76-minute tale is a slight variation on the traditional story based on Tchaikovsky's music. Instead of 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 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 members. A few clever characters, bright animation and wonderful music should entrance any Barbie fan from age three to nine. --Doug Thomas, Amazon.com

Synopsis
America's favorite pint-sized (literally) and plastic sweetheart, Barbie, stars in her very first movie. A take on the classic Christmas tale THE NUTCRACKER, this beautiful and inspirational film tells a similar story using extremely life-like CGI animation. Barbie, as both Clara and the Sugarplum Fairy, and her animated co-stars dance beautifully to choreography by the New York City Ballet's Peter Martins and music by the London Symphony Orchestra.

Barbie in the Nutcracker
Truly magnificent, a must for all barbie fans. Great 3d animation and a truly mangical story.

Our five year old loves this movie
If you have young children who like ballet and Barbie, this is just the ticket for them. The animation is excellent and the music is very well chosen and executed. Our daughters were a bit apprehensive about the mouse at first !!! He's a very well portrayed character and a pretty nasty guy.
