When Clara is given a nutcracker in the shape of a handsome Prince, little does she know that she and her brother Fritz are about to be drawn into a great adventure.

Together they must battle the Mouse King, break the curse placed on the Nutcracker Prince, and restore him to his rightful place on the throne in the Land of Make Believe.

Join Clara on her enchanting journey that will lead you into a magical world of brave toys, wicked rodents, battles and dreams, where imagination is the key that opens all doors, and make-believe is more powerful than any sword.
