Matthew H 12/18/2023 I didn't make it too far into this movie before turning it off. Was hoping for the nutcracker but I got this. I couldn't believe the mom wanted to reward the boys for being late, picking a terrible tree, and destroying the kitchen. Music was good though. See more Will S 11/05/2023 I can honestly say this is one of the worst movies I've seen to date. I was never expecting Nazi bears to featuring a family Christmas movie. I Decided to turn this movie off after getting an hour in, and have never regretted that decision. Not a fan at all, and I definitely wouldn't classify this as a family film, the nazi bear scene is quite terrifying to be honest. The story was also very odd, and extremely hard to follow. One word to describe it was lacklustre. I genuinely don't think there is any value in this for most people, especially families wanting a jolly Christmas movie/experience. See more 12/04/2019 Speechless, the music was great, the story was mind boggling like a Jules Verne novel very hard to follow. Rating very difficult. See more 12/25/2009 Certainly a one-of-a-kind adaptation, the most obvious deviations being Clara using her own likeness rendered in a dancing crystal tear as a freeze grenade against faceless and drooling Nazi creatures clad in wolves' skin, and the waltz with her fantasized Nutcracker-postboy in a mist-filled marble palace amidst feathered dancers. 'Wide awake, sleeping and dreaming, all at the same time.' See more Read all reviews
