To close off this year's Nutcracker November we're taking a look at 1979's Nutcracker Fantasy, one of the few Nutcracker movies I'm aware of that doesn't have anything to do with Christmas! Nutcracker Fantasy is brought to us by Sanrio, taking inspiration from the beloved Rankin/Bass style of stop motion animation. Unfortunately there's also a few particularly large speedbumps to this film that prevent it from being a yearly classic. So join us as we discuss among other things the charm of stop motion animation, dated stereotypes, and the strange baby dolls who leer at you from above.
