The Nutcracker and the Four Realms

The Nutcracker and the Four Realms: The Movie Has a Lot Of Stuff To Wonder

The Nutcracker and the Four Realms is a live-action fantasy adventure based on the 1816 story by German author E. T. A. Hoffman. It is a retelling of the old story but it looks like other fantasy movies – Alice in the Wonderland and Narina.

Story 

Mr. Stahbaum lives alone with his three daughters after the demise of his wife Marie. Clara is the middle of the three sisters and also the most intelligent of all. Mr. Stahbaum plans to celebrate Christmas with his godfather but before leaving he gives his daughters gifts. Clara gets the most amazing gift – a silver egg – but it needs a key.

At the celebration, the godfather introduces Clara to a game where she can find the key to the egg. It is a magical game where toys come to life. Clara enters into an unknown kingdom of a ruthless mouse king in search of her key.
