Such remakes are a disgrace to Tchaikovsky.

They play his music, therefore they guarantee 4/10 points but the movie has nothing else! First, they should keep the name Clara, not Marie. Second, the girl is too old to be Clara. Clara was a young girl that still played with her toys, not a romance device that falls in love with the Nutcracker prince too soon. Third, these two do not go to the places like Russia and China the night Clara sees her first nightmare. What made the original work immortal was Clara's bravery in the places as a small being. In the end she's supposed to regain her own body and reencounter with the prince. I think unfortunately the only one that's loyal to the original ballet is freaking Barbie! We need one that doesn't solely focus on Clara and the prince's romance, but also gives the sugarplum fairy the spotlight she deserves. I'm waiting for a loyal remake of the Nutcracker...
