A decent, memorable, if not top brilliant classic of a movie
Supposedly it took two directors to finish and wrap up this gorgeous fantasy movie with a lot of post-production editing. Inspired by the short Nutcracker story, this movie would never be a The NeverEnding Story (1984) movie based on Michael Ende's international best-seller nor The Chronicles of Naria: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (2005) based on C.S. Lewis. Nevertheless, the story outline flows together most likely because of the tight editing. From the very beginning the sweeping camera photography enwraps its audience into a delightful collage of old sites of Victorian England. The set design and amazing landscapes are brilliant. The performance captivating, even the father whose stoic face is betrayed with small poignant pauses and looks of subtle emotional despair. Somewhat predictable along with a harsh but maybe unavoidable twist, the movie seems to transform from magical, fantastic mystery along with the royal flourishes of The Princess Diaries (2001) to a more simple dichotomous clash between good and evil. Nevertheless, the simple ending surprisingly is a pleasant soft surprise with its relational bonding scene along with a delightful series of ballet dance numbers during the closing credits. This was a decent, memorable, if not top brilliant classic of a movie.

Midway through the title of the movie The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, you arrive in an uncertain place, much like Dante at the beginning of The Inferno. You have probably heard of The Nutcracker. It\u2019s the ballet they always do at Christmas! It\u2019s Tchaikovsky! There\u2019s the whole thing where the girl falls asleep at a Christmas party and then dreams up adventures with a handsome Nutcracker who is always extremely buff and who sparks \u2014 personally speaking \u2014 a sexual awakening.
\n\n
But then there\u2019s the other half of the title: What, exactly, are the Four Realms? Why are there four of them? Are you currently living in one of those realms? Do they have nuts that need to be cracked? Fear not, for we at Vulture have seen the movie and are here to answer every question you could possibly have about the realms \u2014 and more.
\n\n
What are the Four Realms? The realms, which the film occasionally and inconsistently refers to as \u201clands,\u201d are: The Land of Sweets, the Land of Snowflakes, the Land of Flowers, and the Fourth Realm \u2014 previously known as The Land of Amusements. They are all connected by a big, Russian-style palace with turnip turrets, even though the movie\u2019s set in London. If you, much like the audience observing the curtain before a performance of Wicked, need a map to follow all this, Entertainment Weekly has one.
\n\n \n\n
The realms are pretty much a riff on a few of the dances in The Nutcracker ballet (itself based on an E.T.A. Hoffman story), which includes a waltz of the snowflakes, a waltz of the flowers, and whole set of dances in the land of the sweets. As you might guess, the Land of the Sweets is filled with candy, the Land of the Flowers is filled with flowers, and the Land of the Snowflakes is hella cold.
\n\n
The Fourth Realm, however, is a little different from the others, in that it has fallen into disrepair and is currently occupied by a bunch of dead trees, mushrooms, and mice \u2014 and a circus tent capped with a giant robotic Helen Mirren. Mirren\u2019s character, Mother Ginger, used to run this realm back when it was full of amusements, but she turned evil and the other realms united against her. This, from what I understand, is remarkably similar to the plot of Avatar: The Last Airbender. That, however, is a story with four nations, not realms, and I\u2019m sure a Disney lawyer would remind you that those are two very different kinds of geographical entities.
\n\n
Where are the Four Realms? This is where we bring in the movie\u2019s main character: Clara Stahlbaum, played by Mackenzie Foy. When the movie starts, Clara\u2019s mother has died and Clara is very sad, especially since her mother left her a locked egg-shaped device for Christmas that she can\u2019t open. Anyway, she still has to go to a Christmas party held by the inventor Drosselmeyer (Morgan Freeman), and because Drosselmeyer has nothing better to do, he sends all the children off on an elaborate treasure hunt to find their gifts by following pieces of string around his house. Clara follows hers through a Narnia-esque hidden passageway and ends up in the realms. So the realms are somewhere within Drosselmeyer\u2019s house, and one sequence in the movie implies that they exist inside his grandfather clock.
\n\n
Who created the Four Realms? Clara\u2019s mother! Or, at least, Clara\u2019s mother found her way into Drosselmeyer\u2019s clock, and then remade the realms as she pleased. The movie\u2019s a little unclear on the realms\u2019 backstory \u2014 it delivers the aforementioned bit of exposition via an extended ballet sequence starring Misty Copeland \u2014 but basically everyone in the realms says that Clara\u2019s mother was their queen, and accepts Clara as her rightful heir. Well, except for the mouse from the Fourth Realm who steals the key that Drosselmeyer had given Clara for Christmas and then brings that key to Helen Mirren.
\n\n
Who rules the Four Realms now? In Clara\u2019s mother\u2019s absence, four regents have taken over each of the realms. They are: Keira Knightley\u2019s Sugar Plum, who rules the Land of Sweets; Richard E. Grant\u2019s Shiver, who rules the Land of Snowflakes; Eugenio Derbez\u2019s Hawthorne, who rules the Land of Flowers; and, of course, Helen Mirren\u2019s Mother Ginger. Of the three opposed to Mother Ginger, Sugar Plum has the most authority, and she runs the operation with an iron fist and a cotton candy wig (at one point, Keira Knightley actually eats part of her hair). Lower on the chain of command is the Nutcracker himself, a.k.a. Phillip, who\u2019s played by Jayden Fowora-Knight. Despite being the title character, he doesn\u2019t have much to do.
\n\n
When are the Four Realms? The movie takes place in the 1870s, but the way time works within its plot is kind of fascinating (if you\u2019re the kind of person who\u2019s fascinated by the internal logic of C-list Disney blockbusters). According to Sugar Plum, time moves much faster within the realms than it does in the real world, so if you look out from inside the Grandfather Clock into the real world, you\u2019ll see everything back in the real world in slow-motion.
\n\n
Are the Four Realms scary? In the Fourth Realm, there is a giant rat-king creature made up of a teeming mass of small rats, which moves around and attacks things and will scar you and your children for life. Other than that, they\u2019re not scary.
\n\n
Do the laws of physics as defined by Sir Isaac Newton still apply within the Four Realms? Weirdly, yes! Time is wonky, and it\u2019s possible bring toys to life within the realms (we\u2019ll get to that in a second), but the movie is very insistent on the fact that Newtonian physics apply, because Clara is a budding STEM genius and has to solve problems by shouting about them. Despite this, The Nutcracker does not explain how the laws of physics allow Keira Knightley to fly. In this way, she is like the bees in Bee Movie.
\n\n
Wait, so is there magic in the Four Realms? Sort of! Though the movie focuses on the mechanical elements, something magical is definitely afoot. One minor example: Clara\u2019s mother built a giant microscope-like device that brings toys to life, which is how she created everyone in the realm and why they worship her. Now that Clara\u2019s back, Mother Ginger and Sugar Plum want the key to that device, so they can turn it on again, but no one knows where it is. Turns out it\u2019s the same key that Drosselmeyer left Clara for Christmas. How convenient!
\n\n
Why are the Four Realms at war? That\u2019s a spoiler! Do you really want me to spoil The Nutcracker and the Four Realms for you? You\u2019ve already read so much about the movie. Just go see it for yourself and come back!
\n\n
No, really! Stop reading now! There are some wild developments in this movie and I don\u2019t want to be responsible for spoiling them!
\n\n
Okay, now that it\u2019s just us true Four Realms diehards, back to business.
\n\n
The realms are at war because humans \u2014 and human-like toys brought magically to life \u2014 lust for power, and because Sugar Plum is a freaking fascist war hawk in cotton candy clothing! Even though Sugar Plum claimed Mother Ginger was in the wrong, it turns out that she engineered a coup against the Land of Amusements once Clara\u2019s mother disappeared. Now that Clara\u2019s arrived, Sugar Plum wants Clara\u2019s key so that she can use her mother\u2019s device to create her own army out of tin soldiers and rule the four realms herself. Yes, Mother Ginger was actually good and Sugar Plum was bad, it\u2019s a twist you\u2019d never seen coming if you hadn\u2019t already seen Frozen, or Toy Story 3, or Zootopia, or Wreck-It Ralph, or Coco, or paid any attention to this movie.
\n\n
In addition to wanting to be the queen, Sugar Plum is super horny about her tin soldiers \u2014 at one point, Keira Knightley, a genius, shouts, \u201cHello, boys!\u201d at her mechanized infantry with hypersexual glee, which is sure to become the only GIF I will use for the rest of my life. This is all maybe a metaphor about how femininity can be used to enable a fascist military state, with Knightley as a fructose Ivanka Trump and Mother Ginger as \u2014 as my friend suggested at a screening \u2014 Hillary Clinton? And Clara is a millennial who is suddenly given great authority and realizes she has to vote, because not taking any action would make her complicit? This metaphor, like the Four Realms under Sugar Plum\u2019s rule, is falling apart.
\n\n
How does peace return to the Four Realms? Clara shoots the laser from the life-giving device at Sugar Plum and turns her back into a toy! Keira Knightley\u2019s soul is zapped from existence, somehow \u2014 Four Realms offers no theories on the ontology of souls; I hope a sequel addresses this \u2014 and she shrinks down into a lifeless doll. This doesn\u2019t bother anyone, because Sugar Plum was evil.
\n\n
Does The Nutcracker and the Four Realms cast member Matthew Macfadyen get to visit the Four Realms? No. Despite playing Clara\u2019s father and killing it on Succession, Macfadyen has to stay back at the party and look sad in slow-motion. I was disappointed.
\n\n
Why are there four realms? It\u2019s a nice number.

In London, England one Christmas Eve, Benjamin Stahlbaum gives his children, Louise, Clara, and Fritz, Christmas presents to fulfill his wife, Marie's dying wish. Clara receives a handcrafted egg-shaped box, which she is unable to unlock. In the package, she discovers a note from Marie that states that the inside of the egg is all she would ever need. The family then heads to a Christmas Eve ball, hosted by the children's godfather and skilled engineer, Drosselmeyer. Refusing to dance with Benjamin, Clara scurries from the crowd to ask Drosselmeyer how to unlock her egg. He then reveals to her that it was a creation of his that he gifted to Marie when she was younger, and that her wish was to bestow the gift to Clara.\n
Returning to the ballroom, Clara gets scolded by Benjamin for not dancing with him. She calls him self-absorbed and obsessed with his family's image since Marie's passing, after which Drosselmeyer announces it being time for the children to receive their gifts. Clara finds a string with her name on it, signifying her gift, and follows it into a forest in a parallel world where she sees the key. Before she can grab it, a mouse snatches it. Unable to reach him, who crosses a frozen lake, Clara approaches Captain Phillip Hoffman. He leads her across the bridge into the Fourth Realm, but they are unable to obtain the key from the mouse. He then guides her to the palace, where she meets three regents of each land. They tell her that they are at war with the Land of Amusements which they now refer to as \"the Fourth Realm\".\n
Watching a ballet that tells the story of their world's creation, the Sugar Plum Fairy, regent of the Land of Sweets, explains to Clara that Marie created this world as a young girl. She later explains that Marie animated everyone with a machine that can turn toys into real-life people. The Sugar Plum Fairy says that she can use it to defend the other three realms against Mother Ginger, the Regent of the Fourth Realm, but it needs a key. Clara notices that its keyhole matches that of the one on her egg. Clara and her soldiers head towards Mother Ginger and steal the key the mouse had snatched. However, she is disappointed upon discovering that the egg is only a music box.\n
Once the Sugar Plum Fairy obtains the key, she uses the machine to turn toy soldiers into life-size ones that obey her every command, including the one to attack the Fourth Realm. She reveals that the machine can turn this world's people back into toys as well, and intends that to be the other regents' fate, revealing she had lied about Mother Ginger who, with her people, only resisted against the Sugar Plum Fairy's plan. Clara resists, and the Sugar Plum Fairy imprisons her, Phillip, Shiver, and Hawthorne.\n
When Clara opens her music box again, she discovers that the top flips up to reveal a mirror, illustrating that all she needed was herself. She and the other prisoners escape and she and Phillip are then greeted by one of Mother Ginger's mice who shows her another way into the machine room and guides Phillip to Mother Ginger to convince her to help Clara overthrow the Sugar Plum Fairy. Clara enters the machine room and shuts down the machine while fighting off soldiers. Mother Ginger comes to her aid and helps her do so. The Sugar Plum Fairy ultimately traps Mother Ginger and attempts to turn her back into a toy with the machine. However, Clara tinkers with it so that it aims at the Sugar Plum Fairy. It zaps and turns her back into a porcelain doll as punishment for high treason to the Realms, saving Mother Ginger.\n
Thanked for restoring peace among the Realms, Clara promises to visit them in the future and returns back to London, where time has hardly passed since she left. She then approaches Benjamin, apologizes for her earlier behavior, and asks him to dance. He accepts, and she opens her music box when he becomes emotional, as the song that plays was the first song that he and Marie had ever danced to. They then continue to dance throughout the night.\n
Disney is developing a live-action adaptation titled The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, Lasse Hallstr\u00f6m would direct and Mark Gordon would produce from a script by Ashleigh Powell.[1]\n
The Walt Disney Studios panel also revealed that the Mouse King is a cutting-edge CGI creation, taking inspiration and motion capture from Charles Riley.[2]\n
In December 2017, it was reported that Joe Johnston would helm 32 days of reshoots, scripted by Tom McCarthy, due to Hallstr\u00f6m being unavailable but will still oversee post-production, which was later revealed that Hallstr\u00f6m and Johnston had voluntarily decided to receive a joint directorial credit for the film.\n
\n
Reception[]
\n
The film has received an approval rating of 32% based on 197 reviews on the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes with an average rating of 5.14/10. The website's critical consensus reads, \"Lacking a transporting yuletide story or dazzling dance routines, The Nutcracker and the Four Realms is a hollow holiday confection that's lovely to look at - and easy to forget.\" On Metacritic, it has a weighted average score of 39 out of 100, based on 33 critics, indicating \"generally unfavorable reviews\". Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave it an average grade of \"B+\" on an A+ to F scale, while PostTrak reported filmgoers gave it 3 out of 5 stars and a 49% \"definite recommend\".\n
David Ehrlich of IndieWire gave the film a grade of \"D+\", calling it \"empty but eye-popping\", writing \"Watching a visually spectacular but virtually soulless new family movie like The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, it's tempting to wonder if such eye-popping dreck has any hope of sticking with impressionable young audiences. Is there any chance that the kids of today might be nostalgic for this hyper-saturated nonsense tomorrow?\" Alonso Duralde of TheWrap also gave it a negative review, writing \"The 'child travels to a magical land and learns things' trope has been the basis of many beloved stories, from The Wizard of Oz to The Phantom Tollbooth to The Chronicles of Narnia.

Trivia[]
\n
This film marks Morgan Freeman's debut in a Disney film.
\n
The scene where Clara is taken to watch the Nutcracker ballet featuring a conductor tuning in the orchestra is used as a homage to the 1940 Disney film Fantasia. Coincidentally, the second segment for Fantasia is titled \"Nutcracker Suite\" which features music from the ballet.
\n
The novelization reveals several other background details:\n
Clara's mother, Marie, was orphaned at 7 and came to live with Drosselmeyer due to a fire at the clock shop that killed her parents.
\n
Marie's ballerina doll (Sugarplum) was the last present she ever received from her parents (who were clockmakers).
\n
Marie discovered the realm at the back of a secret passageway in Drosselmeyer's home when she was 10. Even he did not know it was there.
\n
Marie based Mother Ginger on her mother.
\n
Marie created the Dew Drop Fairy to keep Sugarplum company when she started staying away from the realm for longer periods of time. While the Dew Drop Fairy was cast, she was ultimately cut from the final film.
\n
At one point, Sugarplum tried to enter the real world, but accidently let dozens of mice into the realms instead.
\n
Items could be taken from the real world to the Realms, but objects from the Realms could not be taken to the real world.
\n
Each realm had a different association: Flowers-Beauty, Snowflakes-Memories, Sweets-Happiness, Amusements-Love.
\n
The carousel in Mother Ginger's land was built by Clara, and moved there by Marie to better store it.
\n
The novel clarifies the siblings age differences, at one point stating Clara is 6, Louise is 8, and Fritz is barely 1.
\n
The novel implies Marie passed away quite recently (eg a couple months) before Christmas.
\n
The novel gives the name of Clara's father as \"Charles.\"

In London, England one Christmas Eve, Benjamin Stahlbaum gives his children, Louise, Clara, and Fritz, Christmas presents to fulfill his wife, Marie's dying wish. Clara receives a handcrafted egg-shaped box, which she is unable to unlock. In the package, she discovers a note from Marie that states that the inside of the egg is all she would ever need. The family then heads to a Christmas Eve ball, hosted by the children's godfather and skilled engineer, Drosselmeyer. Refusing to dance with Benjamin, Clara scurries from the crowd to ask Drosselmeyer how to unlock her egg. He then reveals to her that it was a creation of his that he gifted to Marie when she was younger, and that her wish was to bestow the gift to Clara.\n
Returning to the ballroom, Clara gets scolded by Benjamin for not dancing with him. She calls him self-absorbed and obsessed with his family's image since Marie's passing, after which Drosselmeyer announces it being time for the children to receive their gifts. Clara finds a string with her name on it, signifying her gift, and follows it into a forest in a parallel world where she sees the key. Before she can grab it, a mouse snatches it. Unable to reach him, who crosses a frozen lake, Clara approaches Captain Phillip Hoffman. He leads her across the bridge into the Fourth Realm, but they are unable to obtain the key from the mouse. He then guides her to the palace, where she meets three regents of each land. They tell her that they are at war with the Land of Amusements which they now refer to as \"the Fourth Realm\".\n
Watching a ballet that tells the story of their world's creation, the Sugar Plum Fairy, regent of the Land of Sweets, explains to Clara that Marie created this world as a young girl. She later explains that Marie animated everyone with a machine that can turn toys into real-life people. The Sugar Plum Fairy says that she can use it to defend the other three realms against Mother Ginger, the Regent of the Fourth Realm, but it needs a key. Clara notices that its keyhole matches that of the one on her egg. Clara and her soldiers head towards Mother Ginger and steal the key the mouse had snatched. However, she is disappointed upon discovering that the egg is only a music box.\n
Once the Sugar Plum Fairy obtains the key, she uses the machine to turn toy soldiers into life-size ones that obey her every command, including the one to attack the Fourth Realm. She reveals that the machine can turn this world's people back into toys as well, and intends that to be the other regents' fate, revealing she had lied about Mother Ginger who, with her people, only resisted against the Sugar Plum Fairy's plan. Clara resists, and the Sugar Plum Fairy imprisons her, Phillip, Shiver, and Hawthorne.\n
When Clara opens her music box again, she discovers that the top flips up to reveal a mirror, illustrating that all she needed was herself. She and the other prisoners escape and she and Phillip are then greeted by one of Mother Ginger's mice who shows her another way into the machine room and guides Phillip to Mother Ginger to convince her to help Clara overthrow the Sugar Plum Fairy. Clara enters the machine room and shuts down the machine while fighting off soldiers. Mother Ginger comes to her aid and helps her do so. The Sugar Plum Fairy ultimately traps Mother Ginger and attempts to turn her back into a toy with the machine. However, Clara tinkers with it so that it aims at the Sugar Plum Fairy. It zaps and turns her back into a porcelain doll as punishment for high treason to the Realms, saving Mother Ginger.\n
Thanked for restoring peace among the Realms, Clara promises to visit them in the future and returns back to London, where time has hardly passed since she left. She then approaches Benjamin, apologizes for her earlier behavior, and asks him to dance. He accepts, and she opens her music box when he becomes emotional, as the song that plays was the first song that he and Marie had ever danced to. They then continue to dance throughout the night.\n
Disney is developing a live-action adaptation titled The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, Lasse Hallstr\u00f6m would direct and Mark Gordon would produce from a script by Ashleigh Powell.[1]\n
The Walt Disney Studios panel also revealed that the Mouse King is a cutting-edge CGI creation, taking inspiration and motion capture from Charles Riley.[2]\n
In December 2017, it was reported that Joe Johnston would helm 32 days of reshoots, scripted by Tom McCarthy, due to Hallstr\u00f6m being unavailable but will still oversee post-production, which was later revealed that Hallstr\u00f6m and Johnston had voluntarily decided to receive a joint directorial credit for the film.\n

Trivia[]
\n
This film marks Morgan Freeman's debut in a Disney film.
\n
The scene where Clara is taken to watch the Nutcracker ballet featuring a conductor tuning in the orchestra is used as a homage to the 1940 Disney film Fantasia. Coincidentally, the second segment for Fantasia is titled \"Nutcracker Suite\" which features music from the ballet.
\n
The novelization reveals several other background details:\n
Clara's mother, Marie, was orphaned at 7 and came to live with Drosselmeyer due to a fire at the clock shop that killed her parents.
\n
Marie's ballerina doll (Sugarplum) was the last present she ever received from her parents (who were clockmakers).
\n
Marie discovered the realm at the back of a secret passageway in Drosselmeyer's home when she was 10. Even he did not know it was there.
\n
Marie based Mother Ginger on her mother.
\n
Marie created the Dew Drop Fairy to keep Sugarplum company when she started staying away from the realm for longer periods of time. While the Dew Drop Fairy was cast, she was ultimately cut from the final film.
\n
At one point, Sugarplum tried to enter the real world, but accidently let dozens of mice into the realms instead.
\n
Items could be taken from the real world to the Realms, but objects from the Realms could not be taken to the real world.
\n
Each realm had a different association: Flowers-Beauty, Snowflakes-Memories, Sweets-Happiness, Amusements-Love.
\n
The carousel in Mother Ginger's land was built by Clara, and moved there by Marie to better store it.
\n
The novel clarifies the siblings age differences, at one point stating Clara is 6, Louise is 8, and Fritz is barely 1.
\n
The novel implies Marie passed away quite recently (eg a couple months) before Christmas.
\n
The novel gives the name of Clara's father as \"Charles.\"

The film was announced in March 2016 with Hallstr\u00f6m directing from a script by Powell. Much of the cast signed on that summer, and filming began in October at Pinewood Studios, lasting through January 2017. In December 2017, it was announced Johnston would direct a month of reshoots, with Hallstr\u00f6m agreeing to Johnston receiving co-directing credit. The reshoots were written by Tom McCarthy, who went uncredited, and Powell received a sole credit as screenwriter. Composer James Newton Howard scored the film, adapting elements from Tchaikovsky's music for the 1892 ballet, while Gustavo Dudamel served as conductor, leading the London Philharmonia Orchestra.\n
The Nutcracker and the Four Realms premiered at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on October 29, 2018, and was released by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures in the United States on November 2. The film grossed $174 million worldwide against a production budget between $120\u2013133 million, making it a box office bomb and losing Disney over $65 million.[4] It received generally negative reviews, with criticisms of its story and Knightley's performance, although the film's visual effects and aesthetics were praised.\n
On Christmas Eve in VictorianLondon, Benjamin Stahlbaum gives his children Louise, Clara, and Fritz the presents his wife Marie had set aside for them before she died. Clara receives an egg-shaped box that she cannot unlock, together with a note saying \"Everything you need is inside\". The family goes to a Christmas Eve party, hosted by the children's godfather and skilled engineer Drosselmeyer. Clara asks Drosselmeyer how to unlock her egg. He reveals that he made the egg for Marie when she was younger.\n
Benjamin becomes angry at Clara for refusing to dance with him, and they insult each other. Clara finds a string with her name on it, signifying her gift, and follows it into a forest in a parallel world where she sees a key. Before she can grab it, a mouse snatches it and crosses a frozen river. Captain Philip Hoffman, the Nutcracker, leads Clara across the bridge into the Fourth Realm, where they barely escape the mouse king and Mother Ginger, the regent of the Fourth Realm. Captain Philip brings Clara to the palace, where she meets the regents of each land: the Sugar Plum Fairy of the Land of Sweets; Shiver of the Land of Snowflakes, and Hawthorne of the Land of Flowers. They tell Clara they are at war with the Land of Amusements, which they refer to as \"the Fourth Realm\". It is also revealed that Marie was the beloved Queen of this magical land and, thus, Clara is the princess.\n
The Sugar Plum Fairy explains that Marie created this world as a young girl and that she animated everyone with a machine that can turn toys into real people. Sugar Plum says this machine can be used to defend the three realms against Mother Ginger, but it needs a key matching the one for Clara's egg. Sneaking into the Fourth Realm, Clara and Philip steal back the key from Mother Ginger (ignoring her warning that Sugar Plum is lying to them), but Clara is disappointed to discover that the egg is only a music box.\n
Sugar Plum uses the machine to bring toy soldiers to life and orders them to attack the Fourth Realm. She then reveals that she lied about Mother Ginger, who had resisted Sugar Plum's plan to take over all four realms in revenge for her perceived abandonment by Marie, and that the machine can turn this world's people back into toys as well. She imprisons Clara, Captain Philip, and the male regents, causing Clara to blame herself.\n
Clara opens her egg-shaped music box again and discovers a mirror, illustrating that all she needed was herself. She and the other prisoners escape. One of Mother Ginger's mice shows Clara into the engine room, and Captain Philip convinces Mother Ginger to help overthrow Sugar Plum. Clara shuts down the machine while fighting off soldiers with Mother Ginger's aid. Sugar Plum attempts to turn Mother Ginger back into a toy, but Clara tinkers with the engine so it aims back at Sugar Plum when activated, turning her back into a porcelain doll and rendering her entire army lifeless.\n
Thanked for restoring peace among the Realms and the destruction of Sugar Plum, Clara promises to visit in the future. After saying goodbye to Captain Philip, she returns to London, where time has hardly passed since she left. She and Benjamin apologize to each other and she finally decides to dance with him. He accepts, and Clara opens her music box. Benjamin reveals that the music was the first song that he and Marie had ever danced to. They dance throughout the night in the ballroom.\n
On March 4, 2016, the project was first announced, which stated that Walt Disney Pictures was developing The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, with Lasse Hallstr\u00f6m set to direct, continuing its model of developing classic fairy tales. The project is based on The Nutcracker and the Mouse King by E. T. A. Hoffmann, with Ashleigh Powell on board to write the script. The Mark Gordon Company is also on board as a co-production company with Mark Gordon producing with Lindy Goldstein executive producing for the company.[5]\n
Filming began in October 2016 in South Kensington and Pinewood Studios in England and wrapped in late January 2017.[14] In December 2017, it was reported that Joe Johnston would direct 32 days of reshoots, written by Tom McCarthy, due to Hallstr\u00f6m being unavailable. Hallstr\u00f6m would still oversee post-production.[15] It was later revealed that Hallstr\u00f6m and Johnston had voluntarily decided to receive joint directorial credit for the film.[16]\n
The Nutcracker and the Four Realms was released on November 2, 2018, by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, replacing the original date set for Disney's live-action adaptation of Mulan.[20][21]\n
The Nutcracker and the Four Realms grossed $54.9 million in the United States and Canada, and $119.1 million in other territories, for a total worldwide gross of $174 million.[3]Deadline Hollywood calculated the film lost the studio $75\u201390 million when factoring together all expenses and revenues.[4] The film's status as a box office flop was attributed by TheWrap to a poor release date only two days after Halloween, a bloated budget and a lack of interest on the behalf of audiences in the Nutcracker concept.[22]\n
In the United States and Canada, The Nutcracker and the Four Realms was released alongside Nobody's Fool and Bohemian Rhapsody, and was projected to gross $20\u201324 million from 3,766 theaters in its opening weekend.[23] It made $5.89 million on its first day, including $625,000 from Thursday night previews, the lowest figure for a Disney film released in over 2,000 theaters since The Finest Hours in January 2016. It went on to debut at $20.35 million, finishing second behind Bohemian Rhapsody. It was the third big-budgeted film to post a disappointing opening for Disney in 2018 after A Wrinkle in Time and Solo: A Star Wars Story, although Deadline Hollywood, who blamed the early-November release date and poor reviews, noted Disney's Marvel and Pixar films from 2018 would offset any possible losses the film would suffer.[2] The film fell 53% in its second week to $9.5 million, finishing fourth.[24]\n
The film was released in 45 other countries alongside the US, grossing $39.2 million. As of December 23, 2018, Its top markets were China ($16.2 million), Italy ($11.1 million), Germany ($9.4 million), and the United Kingdom ($7.1 million).[25]\n
The Nutcracker and the Four Realms was released on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K UHD on January 29, 2019 by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment. Blu-ray extras include featurettes, five deleted scenes, and music videos for \"Fall on Me\" by Andrea Bocelli featuring his son Matteo Bocelli, and Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker Suite performed by Lang Lang.[26]\n
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 32% based on 203 reviews with an average rating of 5.1/10. The website's critical consensus reads: \"Lacking a transporting yuletide story or dazzling dance routines, The Nutcracker and the Four Realms is a hollow holiday confection that's lovely to look at \u2013 and easy to forget.\"[27] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 39 out of 100, based on 38 critics, indicating \"generally unfavorable reviews\".[28] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of \"B+\" on an A+ to F scale.[29] PostTrak reported filmgoers gave it 49% \"definite recommend\".[2]\n

The film was one of 20 out of 2018's top-100 grossing movies in the US to be recognized with the ReFrame Stamp for hiring women in at least four of eight key production categories.[38]\n
