I have always enjoyed the Nutcracker ballet and musical score. I have read the first story 'THe Nutcracker And the Mouse King', so seeing that this cartoon references from the original material is nice. It is visually a good cartoon (for being 1990) and has voice acting that is enjoyable. There are some 'dark' moments that might frighten much smaller or sensitive children, but overall, I recommend for Christmas cartoon lineups.
