Rating: - Best production of The Nutcracker
This is really the best production of this ballet that I've ever seen! The costumes, staging and ballet are first rate. Macaulay Culkin is adorable as the Nutcracker Prince. It's also nice that the characters Marie and the Prince are performed by children.People with kids who like coloring pictures will be pleased to find a coloring book that is based on this production. Get this DVD, even if you have other versions.Nutcracker Ballet Coloring Book (Dover Pictorial Archives)
Rating: - A common man's point of view.
With over 60 reviews I doubt if this one is needed. It's too bad that some of the truely great ballets, like "Giselle" get so few reviews.

Rating: - Classic!
Whats to say? Its the Nutcracker.... everyone should watch it at least once a year!

Only four stars because it really doesn't appeal to adults much. If you want a companion book to help explain the story, I recommend "Nutcracker Ballet ... Read More
Rating: - reviewing Nutcracker DVD
I bought The Nutcracker DVD and my grandchildren loved it. We only played in five times or so and yesterday when we tried watching it, half way through it gets stuck and won't go any further. It's broken! So glad you asked me for my review because I have been trying to find a way to contact you about this problem. I really feel that I should be given a new DVD, but, again, don't know how to contact you and talk about the problem. Please refer these comments to the appropriate people. We did love it when it worked!
