On Christmas Eve, Clara receives a mysterious Nutcracker from her godfather, Drosselmeyer. Little does she know, this wooden figure holds a secret: he’s a brave prince cursed by the Mouse King. As the clock strikes midnight, Clara finds herself in a fantastical battle between the Nutcracker's loyal toy soldiers and the army of mice led by the fearsome Mouse King.
