                      Barbie In The Nutcracker

Barbie in the Nutcracker is a 2001 computer animated and motion capture-based direct-to-video Barbie film directed by Owen Hurley. It was the first Barbie film since 1987's Barbie and the Rockers: Out of this World. Barbie in the Nutcracker is the first in the Barbie film series of computer animated Barbie films, all of which feature the voice of Kelly Sheridan as the Barbie protagonist. The story is loosely adapted from E. T. A. Hoffmann's story The Nutcracker and the Mouse King and uses music from Tchaikovsky's ballet The Nutcracker. The film includes a substantial amount of motion capture, including dances performed by members of the New York City Ballet and choreography by Peter Martins.
