Nightmare Fuel / Barbie in the Nutcracker

• The Mouse King can turn his staff into an axe, a sword, and a crossbow, and since the Nutcracker is made of wood, it's extremely dangerous to him as well as anyone else. At the climax, the Mouse King starts a bonfire to burn the Nutcracker alive, then grows gigantic and nearly kills him with the axe.
• At one point, Clara's friends are trapped behind an invisible, soundproof wall so no one can see or hear them, and the animation makes it look like they're trapped inside the wall.
• The giant rock golem that chases the heroes across the ice falls is scary, and is surprisingly fast for its size.
• The Mouse King turns two of his Mooks into bookends after they screw up. How do we know for sure they're not still awake in there?
  • Even worse, the Mooks were simply reporting what happened, which is what soldiers are supposed to do.
• The flower fairies use their magic to make plants grow, but when Clara and the Nutcracker meet them, they're sealed in a well in the middle of a desolate valley, without so much as a blade of grass in sight. How long have they been trapped there?
  • For that matter, between the flower fairies being trapped and the constant raids by the Mouse King's soldiers, how many Parthenians have been killed or simply starved to death for lack of food?
• Captain Candy's words before setting out in search of the Sugarplum Princess imply that several previous attempts to depose the Mouse King have ended in failure. What happened to the people who made those attempts?
• The Nutcracker is surprisingly cavalier about his arm falling off. How long has he been dealing with this? Worse, imagine what might happen if an arm or leg came loose at the wrong moment...
