I laughed, I cried, it was better than Cats.
What is it about this movie that we ,the American public, find so captivating? The answer is simple.....it's charm. Not since "White Christmas" has a holiday picture boasted this kind of understated elegance or such wholesome story. Could it be that the golden age of film has found a place in modern cinema? Let us hope so, as the beauty and clarity of "The Nuttiest Nutcracker" represents our last and best hope of reviving the innocence of our parents' generation. In a nutshell, this film is "soup for the soul" , a pleasant reminder of the frivolity of childhood.Let me take the time to thank both the amazing and talented animators who created this visual wonder, and the producers who boldly chose to take the unpopular and often difficult "moral highground". I don't know how you did it ......but I'm sure glad you did. I wait with baited breath and gleefull anticipation for the second installment of this would-be series.Hats off and high hearts to you unsung heros..........and Merry Christmas.
