So much for a holiday classic.We are sorry but the full site content is only available to registered CLiC News users.ĬLiC News is the exciting venture from the Technological University Dublin (TU Dublin) Access and Civic Engagement (ACE) Office, that brings you all the latest news stories written and produced especially for primary school pupils. Saddled with a production budget estimated at $125 million, the film is looking to take in a dismal $20 million to $26 million this weekend, coming in second behind the also-troubled Bohemian Rhapsody. Unfortunately for The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, poor word of mouth may ultimately hurt this pricey venture. Be forewarned that Disney’s latest holiday offering has reprocessed nothing but bits, pieces, slivers and chunks of Nutcrackery into a colorful, sumptuously produced confection with barely detectable nutritional value." Joe Morgenstern, The Wall Street Journal: "Many foods these days carry warnings that they were made in a facility also used for processing nuts. Not even Keira Knightley as a saccharine-voiced Sugar Plum Fairy can inject any feeling of human presence." Eugenio Derbez seems to be giving his flamboyant Flower Regent performance on another soundstage altogether (not unlikely, in fact).
Grant, a sensitive actor with a great face, nearly completely obstructed by a fringe of plastic icicles. What we have here is simply a botch job with two directors - Lasse Hallstrom ( My Life as a Dog) for starters and Joe Johnston ( Jurassic Park III) for reshoots - and absolutely no personality of its own."Įmily Yoshida, New York Magazine: "As the regent of the Ice Realm, I felt deep embarrassment for Richard E. Hoffman and a ballet with music by Tchaikovsky. What went wrong? Where to begin?!? On the surface, this Disney debacle seems like a no-brainer for the holidays: It’s an 1816 gothic fairy tale by E.T.A.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone: "Slow torture for kids and grownups alike, The Nutcracker and the Four Realms gives a bad name to the very concept of family entertainment.
This is your warning that if you have any affinity for the ballet, avoid this at all costs." Katie Walsh, Chicago Tribune: " The Nutcracker and the Four Realms? What in the cuckoo Christmas blasphemy is this? Disney, continuing on its inexorable death march to add more war to soft and beautiful classic childhood stories, has plucked all the feathers from Tchaikovsky and Petipa's holiday ballet and tossed a bunch of glitter and circus clowns at its quivering carcass.

When the review embargo finally lifted Friday, critics were quick to note that Disney's holiday feature feels like an "overstuffed" and "half-baked" attempt at recreating the classic story. And yet, even Johnston's touch couldn't save this adaptation. Original director Lasse Hallstrom was unavailable last year to complete additional photography, but he was still heavily involved in post-production, which led to the rare case in which the Directors Guild of America gave credit to both filmmakers. Unlike Justice League and Bohemian Rhapsody, two films that experienced director shake-ups, Disney's Nutcracker and the Four Realms' reason for bringing on Joe Johnston for month-long reshoots appears to be a legitimate scheduling conflict.
