Title: Not what I was expecting
Review: I am planning on taking my 4 yo daughter to see the actual ballet, so I was hoping to get her familiar with the music & story beforehand. I borrowed the Barbie movie from a friend of mine who said it was really good. Now I am annoyed because this adaptation is NOTHING like the actual ballet, and now I have to try to explain why the versions are so different. As a stand-alone piece, this movie wouldn't be so bad (although it's as Barbie-saccharine as you'd expect). It's just sad that they are calling it "The Nutcracker," when it really isn't. Apples and oranges.
