NUTCRACKER AND  MAGIC FLUTE
Coming from Luminescence! A year has passed since 17-year-old Marie's father died. It's New Year's Eve, and she is hoping for a miracle; life has to take a turn for the better. Unfortunately, she is in for a very unpleasant surprise. Marie finds out that in order for them to keep the house, her mother is forced to marry against her will to the revolting moneylender Mr. Ratter. As a token of proposition, he gives Marie a doll named Nutcracker. Distraught and desperate, Marie makes a wish. She would give anything just to be little and carefree again. A miracle occurs: she becomes the same size as her childhood toys, who all come to life. The unattractive Nutcracker turns out to be a prince, named George, who has been put under a spell. Marie, George and their toy friends travel to the magical Land of Flowers with a mission to save the world from falling under the control of the rat people.

PREMIUM SPOTLIGHT ON DISNEY'S 'THE NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS' WITH MACKENZIE FOY, HELEN MIRREN, MATTHEW MACFADYEN, JACK WHITEHALL! NEW CHARACTER POSTERS!

  NEW 'NUTCRACKER' POSTERS
ARRIVE FROM THE FOUR REALMS!
Nuts will crack November 2nd this year
While we are waiting for Disney to turn its animated tales into live action movies (almost all of the more famous one are in the process of that currently) the fairy tale turned into a big screen adventure that you will first get to see, as soon as next month, is THE NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS, adapted by our beloved director Lasse Hallstrom from E.T.A. Hoffman’s classic Christmas Eve tale! It will dance or ballet its way into cinemas starting November 2nd, starring Mackenzie Foy, Helen Mirren as Mother Ginger, Matthew MacFadyen, Morgan Freeman, Miranda Hart as Dew Drop Fairy,

IN THE NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS 
all Clara (Mackenzie Foy) wants is a special key that will unlock a box that holds a priceless gift. A golden thread, presented to her at godfather Drosselmeyer's (Morgan Freeman) annual holiday party, leads her to the coveted key, which promptly disappears into a strange and mysterious parallel world. There, Clara encounters a soldier named Phillip (Jayden Fowora Knight), a gang of mice and the regents who preside over three Realms: Land of Snowflakes, Land of Flowers and Land of Sweets. Clara and Phillip must brave the ominous Fourth Realm, home to the tyrant Mother Ginger (Helen Mirren), to retrieve Clara's key and hopefully return harmony to the unstable world. Try to ignore the atrociously miscast Keira Knightley in the trailer below and her criminally, almost tragically bad voice and pathetic facial expressions.
