VHS Movie Reviews of Nutcracker:The Motion Picture [VHS]
Movie Review: A Common man's point of view.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have already written a review on "Nutcracker-The Motion Picture", but because this one is distributed by a different vendor, it generated another request for a review from Amazon. This version is no different from the other....Nutcracker, the Motion Picture
"Nutcracker-The Motion Picture" is the best movie version of "Nutcracker" ever made. Why did I buy more than one? When I saw two of these VHS tapes advertised for $.01 I couldn't resist purchasing both of them. I gave my original copy to my local library and they were glad to get it. This VHS is out of print at present and may never become available on DVD. If it were made available on DVD, You can bet I would get it on that format. It seems to me like a perfect movie for Blu-Ray. I believe it would sell, but then I am no marketing expert. It was performed by the Pacific Northwest Ballet with a very young Patricia Barker in the lead. It was filmed in 1986, and Patricia Barker has since retired from the stage. She can also be seen in "A Midsummer Night's Dream"......A Midsummer Night's Dream......which is another fabulous ballet.
It's too bad this wonderful Tchaikovsky ballet "The Nutcracker" had a "Christmas" theme. It's condemned to be performed only at the Christmas season, but it should be seen anytime of the year. To prove my point, look at the dates on all the reviews. They are all dated right around Christmas. The fact is I watch it whenever I want to see a good ballet. Of course, this is not a live ballet with audience participation, but because it is a movie, lots of magical things can happen. A doll house can have real live ballerinas and harlequins dancing in it's miniature rooms. Just wind up the key and everything comes alive. As she walks through the coat sleeve of a giant mouse Clara magically changes from a young girl into a beautiful Princess. Because it is a "dream" even more fantastic things can happen, for instance, Clara's Mother can become a beautiful Peacock (actually she is a Peahen), but again, this is a dream, so a Peahen can be adorned as splendidly as a Peacock, and can dance to the music of the Arabian Dance. A ferocious tiger can be restrained by ribbons and controlled by children as they dance to the Chinese Dance. Unfortunately there is no Sugar Plum Fairy, but Clara (Patricia Barker) dances the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. Patricia Barker can also be seen in the fabulous production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by the Pacific Northwest Ballet, either in HI-DEF DVD, Blu-ray, or Standard Def DVD....... A Midsummer Night's Dream [HD DVD].....It would be great if this Nutcracker was available in Blu-ray. The Pacific Northwest Ballet is a very talented Ballet Company, and every ballet I've seen by them has been fabulous. Since this is not available on DVD and is out of production, it is already becoming a collectors item.
