On Christmas Eve, a little girl named Marie falls asleep after a party at her home and dreams herself into a fantastic world where toys become larger than life in The Nutcracker DVD.

In George Balanchine's The Nutcracker, captivating performances enliven this magical journey into a child's imagination. Angels and sugarplums, a magic prince, a dreamy young girl, a mysterious old man and a Christmas tree that grows sky-high. Enter the world of this enchanting version of the timeless yuletide fantasy, featuring the New York City Ballet and narrated by Academy Award Winner Kevin Kline. Macaulay Culkin (Nutcracker Prince) joins Darci Kistler (Sugarplum Fairy), Damian Woetzel (Cavalier), Kyra Nichols (Drewdrop), Bart Robinson Cook (Drosselmeier) and Jessica Lynn Cohen (Marie) for a sparkling movie directed by Emile Ardolino (Sister Act, Gypsy). The gift of George Balanchine's The Nutcracker is the loveliest you'll find under any tree.
