Disney’s take on the short story/ballet is helping kick off the final round of movies in 2018 this weekend, but early reviews are now pouring in, and it sounds like The Nutcracker and the Four Realms won’t be going down as a Mouse House classic, though that’s not to say it doesn’t have redeeming features.
But the release of The Nutcracker and the Four Realms marks the first time this tale has been adapted with a blockbuster budget.
The Nutcracker has been a Christmas staple for a long time, and it’s even been translated for the big screen a few times.
