Due to its bad story, deviations from the ballet, awful performances, ''[[NightmareFuel creepy]]-[[UncannyValley ass]]'' visuals, and the rats' similarities to Nazis, it was universally panned by critics (scoring a [[MedalOfDishonor goose egg]] on Website/RottenTomatoes) and was a BoxOfficeBomb ($16m against a $90m budget).

As per the original story, young Mary receives a nutcracker doll from her uncle come Christmas Eve, which turns out to be a young prince who was turned into a doll by the evil Rat King when his army overthrew his kingdom. Now the Rat King and his army have the prince's subjects underfoot, all the while burning toys in a bid to blot out the sun with the resultant smoke, in hopes of making the world safe for ratkind forever. Naturally, it's up to our heroes to stop them -- even as Mary's quest is hobbled by the rest of her family's disbelief that it isn't AllJustADream she's having.
