The Nutcracker in 3D, also known as The Nutcracker: The Untold Story on DVD, is the 2010 film version of the classic story and ballet directed by Andrei Konchalovsky and starring Nathan Lane and Elle Fanning.As per the original story, young Mary receives a nutcracker doll from her uncle come Christmas Eve, which turns out to be a young prince who was turned into a doll by the evil Rat King when his army overthrew his kingdom. Now the Rat King and his army have the prince's subjects underfoot, all the while burning toys in a bid to blot out the sun with the resultant smoke, in hopes of making the world safe for ratkind forever.Naturally, it's up to our heroes to stop them — even as Mary's quest is hobbled by the rest of her family's disbelief that it isn't All Just a Dream she's having. | |

Wicked Cultured: The Rat King proves to have a large and elegant vocabulary in "The Lights Go Out," even speaking in Latin for one line. At one point Mary even throws the villain a compliment (while they're both waiting to board an elevator), stating, "you're not unintelligent... for a rat", to which the Rat King rolls his eyes and replies, "oh, please." | |

Sympathetic Villain, Despicable Villain: The film plays around with this trope quite a bit. At some moments the Rat King is fun, eccentric, a talented dancer, an intellectual and an interesting character to view. At other times, he's decapitating a character's head and burning living creatures in a giant crematorium. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| The Nutcracker in 3D / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: The rats are portrayed as racist dictators against the living toys in the film, committing a sort of genocide against toys by forcing children to give them up, only to then burn them (the toys are living beings in the film, not inanimate objects). Likewise, the toys and humans are racist towards the rats and treat them as stupid, uneducated and dirty (with the exception of Mary, who fears the rats but doesn't hate them). | |

Rat King: The film's main villain is quite literally perhaps the best example of this - not only is "Rat King" his apparent name, but he is an anthropomorphic rat with large teeth he can conceal and then bring out to monstrous proportions. He also wants to rule the world after his kind have been shunned from society for so long. | |

| The Nutcracker in 3D / int_9ac6b0c1 | comment |
Sociopathic Hero: The Nutcracker Prince, or "N.C." as he prefers to be called, is almost at once extremely rude to Mary for the sake of hurrying his mission, snapping at her for complimenting his hat, getting angry when she calls him a "nutcracker", destroying pillows in her room, refusing to give her any time to get dressed, and mocking his comrades, especially Sticks, whom he refers to as "the most unreliable person I've ever met". N.C. orders his comrades to push the Rat King out of the open hatch on a helicopter, which would lead both the Rat King and probably Gielgud as well to a very brutal, nasty death. | |

Mood Whiplash: The Movie. This film takes the Nutcracker story... and combines it with Holocaust imagery, but with a pretty shoddy execution; it's too dark to be considered whimsical, but it's also too dumb and awkwardly written to be taken seriously, resulting in a complete tonal mess. | |

It's All About Me | |
| The Nutcracker in 3D / int_bb18a227 | comment |
It's All About Me: Mary is quite full of herself and mean to her little brother, Max. Despite Uncle Albert bringing the dollhouse and nutcracker for both children, Mary refers to the nutcracker doll as "my nutcracker" and she is constantly slapping Max's hands away or pushing him away whenever he even tries to touch a toy in the house. Mary even has a "not like other girls"-type song number in which she describes being lonely and ignored for her imaginative beliefs, and when the Snow Fairy refers to Mary as "special and unique", Mary gets a bizarrely wide, eerie grin on her face. | |

Irony: Considering the Nazis compared "undesirables" (especially Jews) to rats, the infamous "Ratzis" are pretty ironic indeed. On a similar note, a couple of the Rat King's songs are pretty jazzy, even though the Nazis hated jazz. | |

Token Black Friend | |
| The Nutcracker in 3D / int_dd08dba9 | comment |
Token Black Friend: Sticks, a Black doll portrayed as a Jamaican stereotype, is this to Gielgud and Tinker. While Gielgud and Tinker seem to like Sticks, Sticks still bears the brunt of most of the insults and abuse in the film, and is the least-developed character out of the 3 dollhouse toys. Adding to this trope, Sticks has a sassy attitude and a thick accent, although perhaps slightly subverted in that his race is never mentioned or verbally spoken of by any of the characters. The only thing distinctive about Sticks is that he plays the drums; he mainly exists for comedy relief and to serve as a sidekick for N.C., the (white) Nutcracker Prince. | |

Jazz | |
| The Nutcracker in 3D / int_e544021c | comment |
On a similar note, a couple of the Rat King's songs are pretty jazzy, even though the Nazis hated jazz. | |

Pimped-Out Dress: Max burns a Snow Fairy Christmas ornament's dress, prompting Mary to repair it with tinfoil. The real Snow Fairy later comes to life, wearing Mary's dress, which features enormous layers of silver and platinum that glitter and sparkle in the ambient lighting. | |

Sympathetic P.O.V. | |
| The Nutcracker in 3D / int_e7db27c7 | comment |
Sympathetic P.O.V.: There are moments where it becomes apparent verbally and visually that the Rat People are discriminated against, made to live in the sewers, and are considered stupid and dirty. A strangely poignant scene arises where the Rat King woefully quotes Shakespeare and Mary compliments him for being "not unintelligent... for a rat." The Rat King perceives the comment as her being condescending, unable to realize that Mary was actually complimenting him. | |

Adaptation Species Change: The Mouse King is now a Rat King, probably because rats are seen as less cute than mice. | |

Resourceful Rodent: The one likeable quality about the Rat King is that he underestimates his own intelligence; he can build flying machines, professionally dance, take photography, quote Shakespeare and speak Latin, among other things. | |

Dark Reprise | |
| The Nutcracker in 3D / int_f3fd818b | comment |
Dark Reprise: If you listen closely, "The Lights Go Out" has a similar melody to Tchaikovsky's "Dance of the Reed Flutes," albeit in a minor key in some parts. Needless to say, "Dance of the Reed Flutes" was not originally about Nazi rat men plotting to fill the world with darkness. | |
