The Nutcracker and the Four Realms is a Walt Disney Pictures fantasy film and a live-action adaptation of E. T. A. Hoffmann's novella The Nutcracker and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's eponymous ballet as originally staged by Marius Petipa. It is directed by Lasse Hallström and written by Ashleigh Powell, with reshoots handled by Joe Johnston. It stars Mackenzie Foy, Morgan Freeman, Keira Knightley, Helen Mirren, Jayden Fowora-Knight, and Richard E. Grant. Dancers such as Misty Copeland of the American Ballet Theatre perform the dance numbers.All the young Clara (Foy) wants is a key – a one-of-a-kind key that will unlock a box that holds a priceless gift from her late mother. A golden thread, presented to her at godfather Drosselmeyer's (Freeman) annual holiday party, leads her to the coveted key—which promptly disappears into a strange and mysterious parallel world. It's there that Clara encounters a soldier named Phillip (Fowora-Knight), a gang of mice and the regents who preside over three Realms: Land of Snowflakes, Land of Flowers and Land of Sweets. Clara and Phillip must brave the ominous Fourth Realm, home to the tyrant Mother Ginger (Mirren), to retrieve Clara's key and hopefully return harmony to the unstable world.Previews: Trailer 1, Trailer 2.

comment
Adaptational Villainy: Mother Ginger is a cheery woman with many children in the ballet, while here she's a tyrant and the main villain. She's a sort of Composite Character, with the role of the Mouse Queen of the novella merged in hers, and on top of that it's subverted as she's Good All Along. Played straight with the actual villain — The Sugar Plum Fairy!

Mythology Gag
 The Nutcracker and the Four Realms / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: There's a silhouetted orchestra and conductor providing the music for the Backstory Ballet, as seen in Fantasia, which featured a segment based on "The Nutcracker Suite". Marie is the name of the heroine of The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, but Clara is the name of the ballet's heroine. In this adaptation, Clara's mother is named Marie to split the difference. The Mouse King is a multi-headed mouse in the novella and ballet. In this version, it's not a single organism, but the result of hundreds of mice working together as one, closer to the traditional myth where a Rat King is a hive mind of several mice with their tails tied in a ball. The leader of these mice — it steals the key from Clara — is named Mouserinks, the given name of the Mouse Queen in the novella (Madam Mouserinks). Mother Ginger's Humongous Mecha counterpart having a Circus of Fear beneath its skirt is a dark version of the traditional Petipa staging of her scene in the ballet, in which her children emerge from beneath her comically oversized skirt. Drosselmeyer is often, if not traditionally, associated with owls in stagings of the ballet. Here, he has one as a pet. Phillip's last name (Hoffman) is a reference to the author of The Nutcracker and the Mouse King.

comment
Beauty Equals Goodness: The intact three realms and their people are amazingly lovely, especially compared to the Amusement Park of Doom that is the Fourth Realm, ruled over by the now-broken traitor Mother Ginger. Ultimately subverted, verging on Beauty Is Bad, in the case of the actual villain Sugar Plum, who brags to Clara that she is far more beautiful — nay, perfect — than she is, while Mother Ginger is a good, brave woman framed.

Tomboy and Girly Girl: Mother Ginger and Sugar Plum. Mother Ginger is scarcely seen in anything but a masculine-looking outfit and is a Gadgeteer Genius and a heroic rebel who doesn't dress up until Clara's coronation after the climax, while Sugar Plum is sweet and hyper-feminine to the point of being practically pink all over—even her voice is higher than her actress's natural voice. Clara and Louise. Clara is a Gadgeteer Genius who turns out to be a badass princess and spends a huge portion of the movie in military dress, while Louise is a Proper Lady who concerns herself with propriety and not just her own looks but also Clara's.

Succession Crisis: With The High Queen of the Four Realms dead, Mother Ginger has turned against the other regents in hope of becoming the new queen. Only the true inheritor of the throne can save the day. In the end, Clara decides that she will return to London while the four regents — Mother Ginger (who is innocent), Phillip (who replaces Sugar Plum), Shiver, and Hawthorne — will rule together and equally.

It Was with You All Along: In the late going, Clara realizes that "Everything you need is inside" has a double meaning. The egg is actually a music box with a mirror, literally showing her that everything she needs (courage, skill, etc.) is inside HER. She later applies this to the remaining regents, explaining how they can rule the Four Realms on their own while she returns to the outside world.

Nostalgic Music Box
 The Nutcracker and the Four Realms / int_56d84b55
comment
Nostalgic Music Box: Clara finds one in that it's what the egg-shaped box she finally manages to open actually is. The nostalgia comes from it being Marie's final gift to her, serving as a reminder to her daughter that everything she needs is inside and the song it plays being meaningful to her father/Marie's husband.

Cool Key: The key that's coveted by Clara. Beyond opening that box and revealing "Everything that you need", it's capable of activating The Engine, the machine her mother created from which the very existence of the Four Realms came. It can produce living toy soldiers, an army of which could decide the fate of the war depending upon who controls it, which is why others covet it as well.

Despite this, Clara briefly mourns for the loss of villainous Sugar Plum, who wasn't only one of mother's favorite toys, but also a friend who felt hurt by her mother's supposed abandonment.

comment
Transformation Ray: The inhabitants of the Four Realms were once toys, but they were transformed into living beings via this. It can also reverse the process, but much to Sugar Plum's dismay, she's the one it zaps rather than her target, Mother Ginger.

comment
Real Women Don't Wear Dresses: Clara isn't especially tomboyish, but she prefers studying science to attending parties, and isn't good at hair or fashion. Additionally, the hyper-feminine Sugar Plum is the selfish bad guy and the tough, pants-wearing Mother Ginger is secretly good.

1-Dimensional Thinking: An egregious version. The villainous Sugar Plum Fairy is not restrained whatsoever, absolutely knows what's going to happen when the machine fires, and could literally take two steps in any direction OR take flight, but instead of moving out of the path of the machine, doomed Sugar Plum just stands there and screams. Too Dumb to Live indeed.

Grimmification: Somewhat in terms of plot structure of the ballet instead of Clara and Phillip helping defeat the Mouse King in a simple battle between mice and toy soldiers 'neath the Christmas tree, they're saving a Magical Land from a Sugar Apocalypse caused by a major case of Adaptational Villainy. However compared to Hoffmann's original story most of his darker elments are still removed. There's no battle to leave the mouse king bathed in his own blood, there's no candy people being eaten alive and left for dead and most assuredly your Disney movie did not feature people breaking their jaws trying to chew a nut.

Gratuitous Princess: The film adds a 'princess' subplot not originally in the Nutcracker story. Clara is the princess of the Four Realms because her mother was its queen before she divided her power between the regents and left for good. The evil Sugar Plum regards herself as the true princess and wants to destroy Clara as part of taking over as queen. In the end, Sugar Plum is turned back into a doll, Phillip is installed as her replacement as regent, and Clara chooses not to become queen.

Decomposite Character: Clara and her mother, Marie. Marie was the main character's name in the original novella, whereas Clara is her name in the ballet. Marie's brother and sister in the novella are transferred to Clara in this movie. They both share a godfather (Drosselmeyer) and in this version become queen at the end of their respective stories, though in Clara's case, it's because she inherited the title from her mother instead of the land bestowing it upon her like they did Marie.

Adaptational Nationality: Where the original novella takes place in Germany and was published in 1816, and the ballet version takes place in Russia, this version's "real world" scenes are set in Victorian London. Oddly, no character names are changed to reflect this; the family is still named Stahlbaum.
