Inspired by both ETA Hoffmanns classic story The Nutcracker and the Mouse King and Alexandre Dumas retelling in the 1892 Tchaikovsky ballet The Nutcracker, the film is directed by Lasse Hallström and Joe Johnston.

“The Nutcracker inspired my daughter to take up dancing,” said Hallstrom in a statement.

“This film combines all of the best film-making elements-drama, comedy, music, special effects and dance. It was a heavenly experience,” he added.
