Based on The Nutcracker, this Direct to Video film stars Barbie as Clara. After being shrunk by the evil Mouse King, Clara joins forces with a living nutcracker and journeys to the magical land of Parthenia. Together, they search for the Sugarplum Princess, the only being powerful enough to break the Mouse King's spells and end his tyrannical reign.This was the first in what would later become a series of Barbie movies: a series which now spans 20 years. The first successor was Barbie as Rapunzel, released a year later in 2002. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |

Chekhov's Gun: Clara's locket, which was supposed to return her home and restore her to her normal size after she found the Sugarplum Princess. After falling for the Nutcracker/Prince Eric and learning that she is the Sugarplum Princess, Clara decides she'd rather stay in Partheina with him. However, the Mouse King steals the locket and uses it to send her home anyway. Marzipan runs away with her sleigh after being attacked by the Mouse King's soldiers. After the snow fairies freeze the surface of the ocean, Marzipan reappears and takes the Nutcracker's group across. | |

Must Make Amends | |
| Barbie in the Nutcracker / int_2e5e04c0 | comment |
Must Make Amends: Prince Eric's main motivation; his irresponsibility prompted his father to appoint the Mouse as Parthenia's temporary ruler, but the Mouse King decided he wanted the position permanently and got rid of the prince by transforming him into a nutcracker. His primary goal is to make up for his mistakes by ending the Mouse King's reign. After he plays an instrumental role in the Mouse King's defeat and regains his true form, the people wholeheartedly forgive him and accept him as their king. | |

Book Ends: At the beginning of the Framing Device, Kelly is having trouble keeping up with Barbie's dancing. In the end as they try the same dance again, Kelly does the dance perfectly. The story proper begins and ends with a zoomed-in shot of a snow globe in Clara's parlor. In a literal example of this trope, the Mouse King turns two of his mooks into bookends as punishment for failing to find the Nutcracker. | |

Separated by the Wall: When Nutcracker, Major Mint, and Captain Candy are imprisoned in the dungeon, they're held behind an invisible wall that prevents them from being seen or heard by anyone. Clara puzzles over the seemingly empty room for a few moments before she discovers the wall by placing her hand on it, opposite the Nutcracker's. | |

Adaptational Nice Guy | |

Adaptational Nice Guy: Clara's brother breaks the Nutcracker here, like he does in the ballet, but in the ballet, he's often shown as doing so purposefully out of jealousy (though this isn't universal, and it was an accident in the original story). Here, it's just the result of two siblings fighting over a toy, and the Nutcracker getting broken is an honest accident. | |

| Barbie in the Nutcracker / int_970c790a | comment |
The Mouse King has one scene in the ballet, in which he fights the Nutcracker, is defeated, and dies. Here, he's the Big Bad, and antagonizes the heroes throughout. This is ironically closer to his role in the original The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, where he was a recurring villain, so it might count as an example of Truer to the Text. | |

Fantasy Keepsake: After Clara is sent back home at the end of the film, she encounters this trope twice; first when her Aunt Drosselmeyer introduces her to "the son of a dear friend" who happens to be the spitting image of Prince Eric, the Nutcracker's human form, and then again when he gives her a locket identical to the one used to send her back, heavily implying that he's actually Prince Eric himself. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Barbie in the Nutcracker / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Clara's true identity as the Sugarplum Princess is hinted at from the beginning of the film. The locket intended to send her home was originally hanging from the neck of an ornament depicting Clara's appearance after her identity is revealed. Snow melts and plants grow in her footprints. She's briefly stranded on the island where the princess is said to live; and she repeatedly exhibits the three traits—kindness, cleverness, and bravery—that are specifically associated with the Sugarplum Princess. Prince Eric even lampshades the final point after the Mouse King's defeat. The Nutcracker's true identity— Prince Eric—is revealed much earlier in the film (unsurprising, given that many viewers would already know the plot of the original ballet), but there's plenty of buildup for that, too. When Clara first sees him, her aunt tells her that he has "the heart of a prince." Later, he refers to the mice as traitors, and later still, he relates the legend of the Sugarplum Princess, which is only known by members of the royal family. | |

Ascended Extra | |
| Barbie in the Nutcracker / int_a65288e2 | comment |
Ascended Extra: The Mouse King has one scene in the ballet, in which he fights the Nutcracker, is defeated, and dies. Here, he's the Big Bad, and antagonizes the heroes throughout. This is ironically closer to his role in the original The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, where he was a recurring villain, so it might count as an example of Truer to the Text. Clara, to a lesser extent. In the ballet, she doesn't do much once the Nutcracker is introduced, especially in the second act. Here, she's a proactive heroine. | |

Or Was It a Dream?: Clara wakes up to find her nutcracker missing. While she asks everyone else if they knew where it went, Aunt Drosselmeyer enters, and asks Clara to meet the son of a family friend, who looks exactly like the Nutcracker's human form. | |

Chekhov's Skill | |
| Barbie in the Nutcracker / int_acecb17d | comment |
Chekhov's Skill: Near the beginning of the movie, one of the Nutcracker's arms detaches at the elbow after a fall. He easily reattaches it and reassures Clara that it's a common occurrence. Later, he makes use of this ability to save his old friend Captain Candy from falling to his death. The snow fairies and their ice powers are introduced early on, then seemingly left behind as Clara and Nutcracker venture into a region with a summertime climate. However, when their boat is destroyed, the snow fairies return and freeze the ocean's surface, allowing the party to cross on foot. Later still, they conjure a snowball which the peppermint girl uses to give the shrunken Mouse King his just desserts. | |

I Choose to Stay: At the end of the movie, Clara decides she doesn't want to go home after all. Unfortunately, the defeated Mouse King decides to take a parting shot by opening her locket, making her vanish and wake up back in the real world. | |

Cool Aunt: Aunt Drosselmeyer, who frequently dotes on Clara and fascinates her with fantastical stories of her adventures. She also apparently knows about Parthenia, and pauses knowingly when she introduces Eric as "the son of a dear friend". | |

Hoist by His Own Petard: The Nutcracker/Eric reflects the Mouse King's own shrinking ray back at him in the climax, reducing him to the size of an ordinary mouse that's too small to do anything but run away. | |

The Scapegoat | |
| Barbie in the Nutcracker / int_dc8ba6d5 | comment |
The Scapegoat: Prince Eric. Though he certainly isn't blameless in Parthenia's current predicament—even he acknowledges that the Mouse King only came to power in the first place because he wasn't prepared for the responsibility of running a kingdom—the people seem to place all of the blame on him and forget that several others contributed to the Mouse King's rise to power. Eric's father was the one who actually appointed the Mouse, but he's barely mentioned besides being described as a good king. Not to mention that the Mouse King himself is the one abusing his power instead of using it responsibly. The people forgive him after he defeats the Mouse King as the Nutcracker, proving that he's learned his lesson. | |

Gratuitous Princess: The Sugar Plum Fairy of the original ballet is renamed to the Sugarplum Princess. Ironically, the Sugarplum Princess of the movie is a mythical figure who has the power to defeat the Mouse King rather than an interim ruler who looked after the kingdom in the Prince's absence, as she was in the ballet. | |
