SYNOPSIS

Clara  is  on the verge of growing up with dreams of traveling the world in the grand  ballet.  Then,  during  the  annual  Christmas  party,  the mysterious  family  friend,  Drosselmeier,  tells  her  a  story  about  a young man named Hans who rescued a princess under a spell by the Mouse Queen and her whining son. As punishment for his good deed, the Mouse  Queen  managed  to  transform  Hans  into  a  nutcracker (prince   of   the   dolls)   before   her   death;   the   same  nutcracker Drosselmeier gives to Clara that day.  When  midnight  comes,  Clara finds  herself  trapped  in  the middle of a battle between the mice and her toys being lead by the confused nutcracker.  If  the  prince  of  the dolls  can defeat the Mouse King and win the hand of a fair maiden, it can break the curse upon him. However, Clara  must  chose  between the  dreamworld  of her new companion and his adventures or her real world where the dreams and adventures of growing up still await her.
