What The Is Nutcracker About?

It's Christmas Eve and not a creature is stirring, not even a mouse... Except for Clara that is! The little girl at the center of the story creeps downstairs to check on her newest toy, a nutcracker given to her by her uncle, cruelly broken by her mischievous little brother. Much to her surprise, when the clock strikes midnight, the Nutcracker comes to life! Together they enter an enchanted world where they battle the Mouse King and dance with the Sugarplum fairy - all in a hard day's Christmas Eve night.
