Context YMMV / BarbieInTheNutcracker

Go To

1* CriticalDissonance: Frequently lambasted by critics, but fans consider it to be [[CultClassic among the best Barbie movies]], partly because [[FirstInstallmentWins it was one of the first]]. It also managed to sell 3.4 million copies in DVD sales.
2* EnsembleDarkhorse: Major Mint and Captain Candy. The former due to being a badass with a [[UsefulNotes/BritishAccents funny accent]] and the latter due to being a TokenMinority. Both also have an enjoyable StraightManAndWiseGuy dynamic.
3* EvilIsCool: The Mouse King is one of the most memorably awesome Franchise/{{Barbie}} [[WesternAnimation/{{Barbie}} movie]] villains for his cool design, powers, and weapons, and being voiced by Creator/TimCurry.
4* HilariousInHindsight: The Mouse King's [[TheDragon henchman]], Pimm, decides to leave Clara on the island when he realizes she isn't with the others because there's no way off "unless she's part mermaid." Nine years [[WesternAnimation/BarbieInAMermaidTale later]], there would indeed be a movie where Barbie's character is a mermaid.
5* UnintentionalUncannyValley: The CGI is from 2001, and it ''shows.'' While all of the characters look mildly uncanny at times, the Mouse King suffers this the most due to the [[TechnologyMarchesOn model's age]] and his oddly human-like motions. It might work in his favor because he's the villain, though.
