sandik Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I don't know it, but it seems like it conflates the Nutcracker with Pinocchio (a real, live boy!) Link to comment
EricHG31 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 While far from being one of my favorite musical theatre lyricists, I know that Tim Rice did the new lyrics for this adaptation--all I've heard have been quite... something. When the movie came out it got some of the most bizarre reviews I've ever read--I know it was apparently a labour of love for its director, Andrei Konchalovsky, and largely financed in Russia but many critics said that a lot of it seemed to be a child's fantasy take on the Holocaust (?!), with Nazi mice, etc and other very dark subject matter. Roger Ebert's review has the hysterical quote: "One of those rare holiday movies that may send children screaming under their seats." Link to comment
