I first saw this movie when I was eleven, and now I'm 19 and I still watch it and bring it out to my college dorm to watch it. maybe some parts jump around a little, but it was a great movie and worth watching. Has really good messages/morals for kids, even if it doesn't stick the the original Nutcracker. Good for children of any age and will probably follow them as they grow up. The writing is a little weird sometimes, but I doubt any children will notice. I've watched the movie every Christmas since I first saw it and all the little weird-nesses never bothered me at all. Also, someone mentioned the grandfather came out of no where at the end, but obviously, they didn't pay enough attention during the middle.

This animated cartoon has incredible graphics, comparable to Toy Story or Veggie Tales. The content is funny with quirky twists and turns. It is animated enough to entertain a two year old, and cute enough to also entertain parents. While loosely following the Nutcracker story, the movie contains great Christmas messages about believing in yourself, believing in those around you, and keeping the spirit of Christmas. Very entertaining with great, upbeat, inspiring music. The actors did a great job on the voices. Phyllis Diller's and Cheech Marin's characters were hysterical. This movie has become a holiday classic for our family.

The Nuttiest Nutcracker is very kid friendly movie.i like it now even though i'm 17 now.it's was my first VHS.this movie isn't so bad like IMDb say 3.4/10.it's not horrible at all and it's not an idiot film and love this movie of course.people don't like this,because like to watch action movies and black comedy's,but this movie isn't bad at all.it's actually family movie too and it's one of my all time favorite animation films.i recommend it. it's was without a doubt one of best animation movies in 1999. movies speaks about evil mouse king who wants to be master. movie title song is original Nuttiest Nutcracker song what sing Grammy winner Peabo Bryson.

Fun premise, horrible execution. It's as if Columbia/Tri Star handed the weak script to a bunch of student programmers. It's unfinished in places. Their teacher woulda failed em. The graphics are so lame I could play Quake II and enjoy the graphics better.The plot skips around like a record. (SPOILERS??)Heck where'd grandpa come from in the end. Thought he was still captured.Tactics also suck. The physics also suck. Pretty much an idiot film.But I think the kids will love it. Although I'm surprised Veggie Tales haven't sued them yet. This movie stole their idea outright, and copies Candy Land in the process.4/10Quality: 1/10 Entertainment: 4/10 Replayable: 6/10Kid friendly?: 7/10
