An audacious, colourful, nightmarish, psychedelic, experimental, enchanting and on one occasion product placement heavy stop-motion masterpiece from Sanrio and Rankin/Bass partner studio MOM Productions, maybe the greatest film adaptation of The Nutcracker and the Mouse King put to film, presented here in its extended Japanese cut for what could be the first time in 1080p - no American meddling included. Sourced from a Blu-Ray that has long been out of print.
