A single nice movie where the two main characters are everything less than nice...

I bought this movie thinking about my little girl, believing that at least she would like it. It was a surprise for me that a movie rated 4.1 (at the time I'm writing it) and being a direct to video has so much quality as this one. In fact it's a very nice picture with colourful places and characters, fine sound, lovely songs and a great experience for all the family because of the social content.

The story is passed in S. Petersburg, north of European Russia and old capital of the nation, in the Christmas eve, when is supposed to exists a gold nut for a few minutes, that is the heart of harmony in a land o dreams. The one that has it could ask for a wish, both of the main characters want it desperately… The nutcracker wants it to become a prince again; the mouse king wants it to become the absolute king, the king of all species.

Sophie B Hawkins (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophie_B._Hawkins), what a voice, turned famous in the 90s by "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover" and "Right Beside You" was responsible for one of the songs, perfectly in the contest by the lyrics, and a beautiful song at all. She also appears during the credits list, in the video of the song she made for, that has plenty of movie unforgettable scenes.

The message of the movie is that there is no point in being ungrateful and that the behaviour of anybody can change by the heart and true love, so there aren't lost souls… Everybody deserves a chance and an opportunity to be called to reason… That's what the little girl has done, with obvious results; don't you believe?! Watch the movie and check it out!
