Two hundred years after its initial publication, it’s clear just how beloved “The Nutcracker” truly is. HolidayTV | The Nutcracker A timeless Christmas companion ‘The Nutcracker and the Mouse King’ celebrates its 200th anniversary By Jacqueline Spendlove TV Media ore than 120 years ago, a ballet opened in St. Petersburg, just in time for MChristmas. It was not a success — it gleaned, in fact, much disparagement from critics — yet, with a production change here and a casting tweak there, “The Nutcracker” went on to become one of the most popular and well-known ballets in the world. One can’t begrudge composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky his part in the show’s eventual success, yet the bulk of it undoubtedly goes to the storyteller. The tale of a little girl whose favorite toy comes to life and whisks her away to a magical doll king- dom has become a Christmas staple. The ballet is just one of many productions spawned by the origi- nal novella written in 1816 by E. T. A. Hoffmann, and with 2016 marking the 200th anniversary of the story, it’s clear just how truly enduring it is. Hoffmann’s “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King” has been adapted countless times for stage and screen. Details change here and there, but for the most part, they all follow the same basic structure, which sees little Marie (or Clara, as she’s called in the ballet) drawn into a dreamlike world where her toys come to life at Christmastime.

    ACT ONE It is Christmas Eve in Pittsburgh over 100 years ago. This is the Stahlbaum’s house in the Shadyside neighborhood. On the street outside, Mr. Drosselmeyer and his Nephew unload Christmas gifts from their cart to take to the Stahlbaum’s party. The Nephew wears a mask because he has been cursed by the Rat King. The mask scares some of the people attending the party. Inside the house, Marie, Dr. Stahlbaum’s daughter, gets ready for the party. She’s reading a book called Kaufmann’s Christmas Stories for Boys and Girls. Her parents present her with two special gifts because she’s growing up: a beautiful scarf and a pair of pointe shoes. The Stahlbaum’s Christmas Eve party begins. There are adults and children dancing, trimming the Christmas tree, and exchanging gifts. Drosselmeyer and the Nephew enter the party. Drosselmeyer makes a pirate doll and other dolls come to life and dance! Drosselmeyer gives Marie a wooden Nutcracker doll. Marie’s brother Fritz breaks the Nutcracker, and the Nephew and Drosselmeyer fix it for Marie. Everyone at the party is afraid of the Nephew because of his mask. But Marie knows that he is kind. After much fun and festivity, the party ends. The guests leave, and the Stahlbaum family exchange their own gifts and go to bed. But Marie has forgotten her Nutcracker. As the clock strikes midnight, she tiptoes back downstairs to find him. Marie is not alone, though. The whole house is under a kind of spell. Giant rats and mice skitter after Marie.

  • Bfi and Aardman Animations Launch Partnership to Develop New Animation Feature Films
    BFI AND AARDMAN ANIMATIONS LAUNCH PARTNERSHIP TO DEVELOP NEW ANIMATION FEATURE FILMS The BFI Aardman Animation Development Lab to support animated feature film projects BFI Aardman Animation Development Lab to offer support and professional, hands-on experience to emerging talent with a passion for creating animated family films LONDON – Friday 3 October 2014. The BFI is partnering with Aardman Animations, a world leader in stop-frame and CGI animated filmmaking and creators of Wallace & Gromit and Shaun The Sheep, in launching a new scheme today backed by £1 million of Lottery funding to help support the development and production of new animated feature films and the creative talent making them. The BFI will provide funding for up to two years, to three filmmakers or filmmaker teams (writers, directors, producers) to develop their projects with dedicated development support through The BFI Aardman Animation Development Lab. The process for developing animated feature films is lengthy and expensive limiting the opportunities for British filmmakers. Aardman will work with the filmmakers – animators, writers, directors, producers – to shape their ideas with the aim of emerging with a set of ‘greenlight’ materials for their films, ready to advance to production. The closing date for applications is Friday 28 November 2014. Ben Roberts, Director of the BFI Film Fund says, "The beauty of animated features lies in their ability to combine great artistry with commercial ambition. This all comes at a cost, and so the development opportunities are limited. Tapping into that Aardman brain to work in depth on a small number of carefully chosen projects from promising filmmakers, is a great opportunity for us to move some exciting and commercially appealing work closer to a reality." Peter Lord, Co-founder of Aardman Animations says, "Feature animation is the ideal medium for filmmakers.
