The Nutcracker on DVD and Blu-Ray!

November 25th, 2011 by Anthea | No Comments | Filed in Movies

Did you know that Christmas is one month away today? Hooray! We’re getting so excited for the festive season here at GP, decorating our desks and watching loads of Christmas movies! One of our new faves is The Nutcracker starring Elle Fanning!

This awesome movie brings the classic ballet to the screen! It’s about a young prince who is cursed and turned into a wooden doll by the evil rat king! Ahh! Years later, a young girl is given the doll and her world is changed forever…

Do you like adventure, music, mystery and magic? Then you’ll adore this awesome holiday flick! Did you know…

The voice of the Nutcracker is Shirley Henderson… she was Moaning Murtle in Harry Potter!
The movie features the amazing music from the ballet. It’s by a famous composer called Tchaikovsky!
Elle Fanning is actually a super talented ballet dancer!

Check out this magical movie – it’s out on DVD and Blu-Ray from December 1!
