Critics Consensus

Lacking a transporting yuletide story or dazzling dance routines, The Nutcracker and the Four Realms is a hollow holiday confection that's lovely to look at -- and easy to forget.

🍀 5.3/10 I like the scene where they role-play, in Clara turns into the Nutcracker. Clara is so pissed off. This whole film and I find it hysterical. The villain in this movie is literally Eric Cartman I guess the real message is society against gingers. Getting real here the set pieces and visuals are pretty great I don't mind the characters but they're nothing really that special still good enough just nothing really new. This movie exists it's out there go watch it maybe or don't it doesn't matter. Grade C+

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Feels like it was written and directed by an AI. Also, its really depressing that Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" adaptation appears to have been the most influential movie on the aesthetic of Disney's live action adaptations.

This magical retelling of the Nutcracker is a must see every Christmas season. I love the new world of the nutcracker. I would love prequel! I want to see a smart girl make the invention!

Chesapeake Family Magazine

Disney's pretty-looking The Nutcracker and the Four Realms is immediately forgettable. The disparate elements of the story barely fit together.

Rated: 2.5/5

Younger audiences will enjoy the bright colours and fun energy but it's unlikely to leave a lasting impression. Sometimes, that's enough. But don't expect it to become an instant favourite.

Rated: 3/5

Victoria Smith (Gloswitch)

New Statesman

At times it has the feel of a computer game: cross the bridge, open the gates, jump off the wall, beat the boss. Only characters in computer games tend to be more unpredictable, with more than one twist.

Next Best Picture

A film that keeps throwing production design at you to obscure the fact that nearly everything else is a bit of a mess.

Rated: 4/10

Deep Focus Review

A 99-minute mess of stilted dialogue, wooden performances, and predictable themes.

It's a little light on the story, and it's kind of predictable.
