Logan D @Greynomad38 01/09/2025 A young girl named Clara goes on a quest to save her nutcracker, which has been kidnapped by mice. An unknown film to me. Takeo Nakamura worked on Santa Claus is Coming to Town and directed this beautiful film. The techniques utilized for the stop motion are remarkable and advanced for it's time. Sadly, he didn't direct much else. There was also this dark figure at the beginning, Ragman, whom I wished we had seen fleshed out more. Very dark for a children's film.

Un joli conte pour enfant mais sans plus, cela magré la narration de Christopher Lee. See more 01/23/2009 I remember seeing this movie when I was like five years old. It's been stuck in my head ever since. I remember being extremely disturbed by the ragman. He was one of the creepiest images of my childhood. I wish I could see it again. There's nothing like a good twisted claymation movie. If you're a fan than you may also want to check out "The Secret Adventures Of Tom Thumb". See more 07/22/2008 one of the scariest films every made. Excellent, great music, very 80s. I don't even like claymation, but I loved this. See more 07/16/2008 Not only is this movie sick, but it's not even made well (of course, I think most stop-motion and claymation looks clunky anyway). And yes, the Ragman freaked me out for forever as a kid, and I never heard the narration, so I thought he just came in and killed the child. (Watching the opening just a few days ago on YouTube without sound brought all those paranoid feelings rushing back until I heard the audio; now it's just goofy.) For years I thought, how could they put that in a kid's movie? And why would the Disney Channel show it? Why would Rankin/Bass put out something so horrible?? Come to find out it was Sanrio, who also brought us the equally sick, but well-meaning THE MOUSE AND HIS CHILD. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a teensy bit curious to see this in the supposed 2.35 aspect ratio it was supposedly filmed in, but I'm sure that feeling will deplete in the first few minutes, like most viewers' interest with the movie in general.
