00:00To be continued...
00:45It's almost Christmas across the town
00:49As evening falls, the snow drifts down
00:53Inside each house, the children wait
00:56It's almost time to celebrate
00:59The moment they've been dreaming of
01:03A moment of magic, a season of love
01:07A season of love, a inventory
01:11A little girl becomes a queen
01:17An old love cracker becomes a king
01:23And they sing of a season of love
01:29The next record, his son, his princess Marie
01:33Us battle the odds in their dream to be free
01:37Their brave, short soldiers march forth with a smile
01:42But the mouse king has armies of warriors so far
01:46It's hopeless and less, they get help from Moabah
01:50But anything's possible in a season of love
01:58A season of love, calm and serene
02:04A little girl becomes a queen
02:10A noble nutcracker becomes a king
02:14And they sing of a season of love
02:25It's time, Father, it's time!
02:27Fritz is right, Father. It's time to open our presents.
02:31I don't know, Marie. Let me see what time it is.
02:34But, Father, you heard the clock chime
02:37Did it chime? Did the clock chime, dear?
02:40I don't recall. I wasn't listening
02:42So I don't know exactly what time it is.
02:45It's time to open our presents!
02:48I've only got one question, children
02:53If it's time to open your presents
02:56What are you both doing in here?
03:00Yay!
03:02Shall we join them?
03:06Gosh, this is the most wonderful Christmas ever!
03:09Look at all these presents!
03:11I didn't think we were good enough this year to get all this!
03:14Well, you weren't, but I make up for it
03:17Ha-ha, Marie!
03:19Watch it or I'll have my soldiers attack!
03:24Oh, I'm just too scared for words
03:34It's time to see Godfather Drosselmeyer's present
03:40What do you think it'll be?
03:42Hey, with Godfather Drosselmeyer? You never know
03:45One thing's for sure, it's gonna be great
03:48And now, I believe it's time to unveil
03:50Godfather Drosselmeyer's annual Christmas present to you, children
03:54Are you sure it's time, dear?
03:57Maybe you should check your pocket watch
04:00Mother, please!
04:02We can't take it anymore!
04:05Yes, Marie's quite right
04:06We really should get down to the business at hand
04:14Amazing!
04:15That's not amazing!
04:27Godfather Drosselmeyer, how did you get in?
04:30I came down the chimney chute like Santa Claus
04:33No way, there's a fire in the fireplace
04:36A year old red, a year smarter
04:39Aren't we, Fritz?
04:53Wow! That is amazing!
04:59Godfather Drosselmeyer, make the soldiers come out of the side door instead of the drawbridge
05:03Sorry, I can't do that, Fritz
05:07Well, how about making the children inside come out so I can see them?
05:10It's not going to happen, Fritz
05:12The mechanism for the figures is set up so they go through the same cycle over and over
05:17I can't change it
05:18Yeah, well, it's kind of interesting
05:20But how long can you watch them doing the same thing?
05:24Well, I think the castle's great, Godfather Drosselmeyer
05:27There, see? Now, look what's hiding in the Christmas tree
05:37That wasn't there before
05:45But who's present is it?
05:50Let me show you how it works first
05:59Please be gentle with it
06:04Can I try?
06:05Of course, it's yours
06:08Mine? Oh, Godfather Drosselmeyer, thank you
06:12I'll only use small nuts so Nutcracker doesn't get hurt
06:18Let me try
06:23You're working for Fritz now
06:25You're going to hurt him
06:27You're going to hurt him
06:30You're going to hurt him
06:37Look what you did
06:39You broke him
06:40I guess he won't make a very good soldier now
06:43You've hurt my Nutcracker
06:46Now you can't have him
06:47Will I ever survive?
06:52Poor Nutcracker
06:53Here, I'll fix your jaw
07:03Are you feeling any better?
07:05Don't you worry about Fritz
07:07I'll keep him away from you
07:09And Godfather Drosselmeyer said he can fix you up
07:12Good as new
07:23Tonight you can sleep here
07:26And tomorrow we'll see about
07:50Godfather Drosselmeyer
07:57Godfather Drosselmeyer
08:00Please come down
08:01You're scaring me
08:02If you think you're scared
08:04You should see the view from up here
08:42Well, well, well
08:43We do look ready for action, don't we?
08:46What say you, my proud army?
08:49Hurray!
08:56Then what are we waiting for?
08:58To battle!
09:16Don't just stand there, men
09:18Look alive!
09:22Friends, brothers, fellow soldiers
09:25Are you with me?
09:28Hurray!
09:31Then let us meet the enemy!
09:44Forward, men, forward!
09:47Fire!
09:51Now, my hearties, take them!
10:00There's too many of them!
10:02Fall back!
10:03Destroy them all!
10:07Tonight is your end, Nutcracker
10:09Long have I waited for this moment
10:15Now is the time for your demise
10:30Oh, Nutcracker, my precious Nutcracker
10:44Fritz, play quietly or you'll awaken Marie
10:47Gosh, what is she?
10:49Rip Van Winkle?
10:50Shh!
10:53Where's Nutcracker?
10:55You'd do better to worry about yourself
10:57than the Nutcracker, young lady
10:58Why on earth did you stay up so late last night?
11:04I had to, mother
11:06Nutcracker was in danger
11:07The only one who was in danger was you
11:10How could you have been so careless as to bump your head?
11:14We've all been very worried about you
11:16Not me
11:17Marie's head is so hard
11:18the floor would crack before she would
11:20That'll be enough, Fritz
11:22But mother, I wasn't being careless
11:25I slipped when I threw my shoe at the Mouse King
11:28Yes, yes, I'm sure you did, dear
11:30Now you just relax
11:31and don't worry about your Nutcracker
11:34He's safe and sound in the parlor
11:38Only half right
11:39He's safe and sound
11:41But it happens he was in my pocket
11:44Godfather Drosselmeyer
11:45You're in a world all your own
11:47Come, Fritz
11:48We'll leave Godfather Drosselmeyer to visit with Marie
11:51Okay, Mom
11:52Sometimes I think you're braver than your brother
11:55You weren't one bit afraid last night, were you?
11:58Well, I sure was afraid of that seven-headed Mouse King
12:02But I had to protect Nutcracker
12:05Then it did happen
12:07It is true
12:08True, not true
12:10What's the difference?
12:12Who cares what happens to this ugly old Nutcracker?
12:15I care
12:16And he's not ugly
12:17Yes, he is
12:19He'd be the first to admit it
12:21And if you're honest, you'll admit it too
12:23Well, so what if he is ugly?
12:26I care for him all the same
12:28Oh, but that's a wonderful thing to say
12:31Would you like to hear the story of how the Nutcracker got to be, well, the Nutcracker?
12:36Oh, yes
12:37Yes, Godfather Drosselmeyer
12:39Please tell me the story
12:41Let's start at the castle
12:43Castles are always fun
12:45Once upon a time
12:47There was a wonderful castle
12:49In a wonderful kingdom
12:50A king, queen, and their beautiful baby daughter, Princess Pollypat
12:55All lived in the castle
12:56Everything was perfect in this castle
12:59Except for one small problem
13:02Mice!
13:06The castle is full of mice, Drosselmeyer
13:09And I want you to do something about it
13:11His name was Drosselmeyer, too?
13:14Just like yours, Godfather?
13:16Indeed it was
13:17He was the king's royal clockmaker
13:20And fortunately for him, he was also an inventor
13:23In no time, he invented the most brilliant mousetraps
13:27And I want you to do something about it
14:15And soon, there was not a mouse to be seen in the castle
14:21Well, as you can imagine, the king and queen were very pleased
14:24Until one night
14:26My, my, what a pretty picture
14:29The royal family spending quality time together
14:32How precious
14:34It seems one mouse has managed to escape Drosselmeyer's traps
14:38So far
14:40Don't lose any sleep worrying about me
14:43That I didn't get to be Madame Mousetra
14:45Queen of the Mice for nothing
14:47Then consider yourself lucky and be on your way
14:50Lucky? Consider myself lucky?
14:52Let me tell you something, your royal highness
14:56I used to have a family just like the two of you do
14:59That is, until your traps took everyone from me
15:02Oh, my
15:03Oh, my
15:04I'll give you something to oh, my about, sister
15:08By all the tales of all the mice in the world
15:10I swear a vow of revenge
15:41I will place a curse on your little princess, pearly fat
15:43There is only one solution, your majesty
15:45We must have six nurses in the room with the princess at all times
15:49Each nurse must have a cat on her lap
15:51To further guard against Madame Mouserink
15:57Well, the court astrologer had a pretty good idea there
16:00And it worked
16:01For a while
16:29By all the tales of all the mice
16:31I make a curse, I make a curse that's far from nice
16:34Let this babe of royalty turn into a grotesque jury
16:46Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
16:51-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
16:57-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
17:07-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
17:08-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
17:08-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
17:15I'll tell you something, Sidney.
17:18I can't take much more of this.
17:21You're quite right, my queen.
17:23This is your fault.
17:25You two had better have a solution for how to take this curse off our daughter.
17:29Well, Your Highness, I've got good news and I've got bad news.
17:33The good news is the curse can be taken off your daughter
17:37by having a young man who has never shaved and never worn boots
17:41crack a crack-a-took-nut in front of her.
17:43Wonderful.
17:44But what's the bad news?
17:46The bad news is there are only maybe two or three crack-a-took-nuts in the whole world.
17:52Then I guess you'd better start looking for them.
18:11For the next 15 years, Clockmaker Drusselmeyer and the Court Astrophager
18:15sail the world looking for a single crack-a-took-nut
18:19from which to lift the curse from Princess Pirlipat.
18:39Fifteen years sailing around the world
18:42and not a single crack-a-took-nut to show for it.
18:46Cousin Drusselmeyer, how good to see you after all these years.
18:50Where have you been?
18:52On a wasted voyage to the four corners of the globe
18:55seeking a crack-a-took-nut for 15 miserable years.
18:59A crack-a-took-nut?
19:01Wow, what a coincidence.
19:03I just happen to have a crack-a-took-nut right here.
19:13It is a crack-a-took-nut.
19:15Yes, I got it as a gift years ago.
19:18If you need it so badly, you can have it.
19:20A crack-a-took-nut?
19:22You've had a crack-a-took-nut all these years?
19:26Tell me, cousin,
19:28just when did you get this crack-a-took-nut?
19:32Well, you're not going to believe this.
19:36It's just too funny.
19:39When did you get the nut?
19:43Fifteen years ago.
19:44Isn't that too much?
19:52Drosselmeyer, Drosselmeyer, get a hold of yourself, man!
19:58Let me at him!
20:04We've got the crack-a-took-nut.
20:06Do you understand?
20:11You're right.
20:12We've got the nut.
20:14We've got the nut.
20:15But now we have to find a man
20:18who's never shaved or worn boots
20:20who can crack this nut with his teeth.
20:23This must be your lucky day.
20:25My son's never worn boots
20:27and he also has himself quite a beard.
20:30The kid's teeth are so strong
20:32he could be a beaver.
20:47managementman.com
20:48He's out.
20:50He's out.
20:52He's out.
20:53He's out.
20:54He's out.
20:55He's out.
20:57He's out.
21:00He's out.
21:18Tell me you found a crackadook nut.
21:21We have, your majesty.
21:22Thank heavens!
21:24Our nightmare is over!
21:26And you're the young man who can crack the nut.
21:32Oh, bearded and without boots.
21:34Oh, it's just too perfect.
21:36Oh, too perfect.
21:40It's her.
21:41It's Princess Perlipot.
21:45So, we have visitors.
21:47How nice.
21:48I love it when someone comes to the castle to see what my parents have turned me into.
21:54Now, darling, you know it was Madame Mouserink who placed the curse that has made you look,
21:59look, uh, look, well, uh...
22:02Different?
22:06Yes, yes, that's it.
22:09Uh, different.
22:10Fine.
22:11Well, then, let's discuss the fee.
22:14Fee?
22:15You mean this young man wants to charge me for making my daughter look normal?
22:20You're not exactly in a position to argue the point, Your Highness.
22:25True.
22:26Oh, what is the fee, then?
22:28If he can turn Princess Perlipat into a beautiful princess,
22:32then he should be able to marry her and become a prince.
22:34It's a deal.
22:35Let's get on with it.
22:38The crackadook nut, please.
22:59Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, hey!
23:03Oh, ho, ho, ho!
23:04Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!
23:07You, you...
23:25So, you've broken my curse.
23:29Well, there's a price to be paid.
23:32Power that curse, little pearly pet.
23:35Madam Mousetreep calls you back.
23:38Do to this man what you should.
23:40Change him to a nutcracker made of red!

33:44It's over. I've destroyed the Mouse King, and I owe it all to you.
33:48You gave me the courage and strength to fight the beast who was tormenting you.
33:52I took these seven gold crowns from the Mouse King.
33:54I want you to have them as a symbol of my love.
33:59Oh, Nutcracker. I love you, too.
34:02Then come with me and visit my kingdom.
34:10In here?
34:20Hurry! Everyone will be waiting.
34:40It sure is dark inside this coat.
34:44Don't worry. We're almost there.
34:58Gosh. You have a closet all your life, and you never really know what's inside of it.
35:10We're not in your closet anymore, Marie. We're in Christmas wood.
35:28Look there.
35:49Ooh!
35:50Ooh, ooh, ooh!
35:52Ooh, ooh!
36:07This is the most wonderful place in the whole world.
36:10And you're the most wonderful girl in the whole world.
36:17Oh, look!
36:21Swans only mean one thing in my kingdom.
36:23We've reached Lake Rosa.
36:31See the waves, Marie?
36:39She's so beautiful.
36:41She must be a princess.
36:44It's Princess Purdybat!
36:46No, look closer.
36:49It's you, Marie.
36:51But I look like a princess.
36:53You are a princess.
36:54And there has never been a princess as beautiful as you.
36:58It's Candy Town, just as I always dreamed it would be.
37:02We'll come back and visit it someday.
37:04Right now, we have to hurry to the Marzipan Castle.
37:14Why are they all crying?
37:16They are my sisters.
37:17They're crying because they're so glad to see I'm alive.
37:24Yes, yes, I'm fine.
37:26And I have Marie to thank for it.
37:28Oh, thank you.
37:29Thank you so much.
37:43I look in the water and what did I see?
37:47A pretty young princess dressed so beautifully.
37:51I reached in the water to help the earth free.
37:54It was just a reflection.
37:56The princess was me.
37:58The castle is low.
38:00The music is playing.
38:01Hurry up, everyone is waiting.
38:05It's just a dream, but it feels so right.
38:09All I want to do is dance through the night.
38:13Dance through the night till the morning comes.
38:17Dance through the night till the morning sun.
38:20Beaks over mountains and lights up the sky.
38:24Oh, why stop now?
38:26Let's dance through the night.
38:29I wanted to linger, I wanted to stay.
38:33I wanted to dance forever and a day.
38:37But then I woke up and what did I see?
38:40I'm no longer a princess.
38:42I'm just me.
38:52Well, she's finally waking up.
38:56Maybe Fritz was right about you being Rip Van Winkle.
39:00Mother, I had the most wonderful time last night.
39:04Nutcracker took me to Christmas Wood and I ate shooting stars that turned into sugar plums.
39:09And we took a gondola ride along Lake Rosa and danced the night away in his castle.
39:15That's a wonderful dream.
39:19You still don't believe me.
39:27See here?
39:28These are the seven crowns that belong to the seven-headed Mouse King.
39:31I think I've heard all I want to hear about mice with seven heads.
39:36I think you're well enough to get out of bed for good now.
39:40At last!
39:50Oh, dear, Mr. Drosselmeyer.
39:52If you really were alive, I wouldn't be like Princess Burlypat.
39:56I wouldn't scorn you because you stopped being a handsome young man on my account.
40:02I'd love you all the more for it.
40:05I have someone here I think you might enjoy meeting.
40:10Your nephew.
40:27We have to talk.
40:32Marie, you know who I am, don't you?
40:35But of course.
40:36You're a nutcracker.
40:37Well, I was the nutcracker, but you freed me.
40:40Come with me, precious Marie.
40:43Favor me with your hand.
40:45Share my crown and my kingdom.
40:47Reign with me over Marzipan Castle.
40:49For now I am king there.
40:51And you shall be my queen.
41:00Dear Mr. Drosselmeyer,
41:02you are a kind and wonderful gentleman,
41:04and I would be honored to be your queen.
41:17You are my love.
41:18You are my dream come true.
41:28Under the rainbow,
41:32over the sea.
41:36Come, my love, and dance with me.
41:40Let the royal court convene.
41:44You will be my dancing queen.
41:48I will be your loyal king.
41:52And of our love will angels sing.
41:56A dream come true.
41:58I know it in my heart.
42:00A dream come true.
42:02I know we'll never part.
42:04Our love will last forever.
42:08Trusting me in our dreams will all come true.
42:20Under the rainbow,
42:24over the sea.
42:28Come, my love, and marry me.
42:32Let the royal court convene.
42:35You will be my royal queen.
42:39The moment that you say I do
42:43is when my royal dream comes true.
42:48A dream come true.
42:50I know it in my heart.
42:52A dream come true.
42:54I know we'll never part.
42:56Our love will last forever.
43:00Trust in me and our dreams will come true.
43:04A dream come true.
43:06A dream come true.
43:06I know it in my heart.
43:08A dream come true.
43:10I know we'll never part.
43:12Our love will last forever.
43:18Trust in me and our dreams will all come true.
43:29It's almost Christmas across the town.
43:33As evening falls, the snow drifts down.
43:37Inside each house, the children wait.
43:40It's almost time to celebrate.
43:44The moment they've been dreaming of.
43:47A moment of legend.
43:48A season of love.
43:51A season of love.
43:54A season of love.
43:55More than serene.
43:57A little girl becomes a queen.
44:02A noble, a cracker, becomes a king.
44:06And they sing of a season of love.
44:13But Nusrat could christen his princess Marie.
44:17Must battle the odds in their dream to be free.
44:21They're praying for soldiers march forth with a smile.
44:25But the mass king has armies of warriors so far.
44:30It's hopeless unless they get help from the bar.
44:34But anything's possible in a season of love.
44:42A season of love.
44:45A season of love.
44:46More than serene.
44:48A little girl becomes a queen.
44:54A noble, a cracker, becomes a king.
44:58And they sing of a season of love.
45:05And Nusrat could christen his princess Marie.
45:09Must battle the odds in their dream to be free.
45:13They're praying for soldiers march forth with a smile.
45:17But the mass king has armies of warriors so far.
45:21It's hopeless unless they get help from the bar.
45:25But anything's possible in a season of love.
