YMMV / The Nuttiest Nutcracker

• Accidental Innuendo: There are tons of nut puns, such as Reginald calling the nutcracker "nutboy."
  • The Nutcracker Prince's backstory, where he breaks a spell by breaking the hardest nut on the planet. Or, in the immortal words of Saberspark: "Are you telling me he had to bust the biggest nut to save the princess?"
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: The "All It Takes", the "Don't Cry", and the very gay ballroom scenes could all be considered this.
• Ethnic Scrappy: A Rastafarian nut is played by a Mexican voice actor. That’s so wrong it ain’t even funny.
• Fetish Retardant: Sparkle the female nut is intended to be Ms. Fanservice, but the fact she's a talking nut and the movie is for kids makes it disturbing.
• Ham and Cheese: James Belushi as Reginald, who just throws caution to the wind and hams it up like there's no tomorrow. Really, the Mouse King's diet of pure pork likely makes him the most entertaining thing in the movie.
• No Yay: The Mouse King wants to bang Marie, a human girl who's presumably much younger than he is.
• Questionable Casting: That such a poor-quality movie has an All-Star Cast is in the least very surprising.
• So Bad, It's Good: That’s the general reaction. It's not by any stretch of the imagination a well-made movie nor a particularly good adaptation of The Nutcracker, but it's just so absurd that you can't help laughing a few times.
• Special Effect Failure: Despite being done by Softimage, the company that also animated the VeggieTales series, the CGI is so cheap, that it hurts and looks like a grainy port of an Unreal Engine game.
• Squick:
  • The female nut is such an offputting Ms. Fanservice she may as well be this movie's Lady X despite being a talking nut. At one point she even suggestively rubs up against the prince.
  • The chocolate looks like...something else.
• Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Marie can come off as a petulant bitch; that she claims to be lonely and wants Christmas gone just because her parents aren't home while her uncle and brother are obviously there with her makes her look very insensitive.
• What Do You Mean, It's for Kids?: Despite being obviously designed to appeal to kids and adapted from a well-known Christmas story, the film contains nut-related innuendos, fanservice that's more cringy than enticing, and very creepy implied bestiality.
