0:05:34 > 0:05:37Oh, the neighbours will be here soon.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Is Uncle Drosselmeyer coming?
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Of course. He comes every year.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Oh, he's one of our favourite Christmas traditions.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49He always brings the best toys, doesn't he?
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Fred. That's MY jack-in-the-box.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54Huh? What jack-in-the-box?
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Uncle Drosselmeyer gave him to me last Christmas.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00He's my toy and you can't play with him.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02I wasn't playing with him.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05You stick to playing with your silly little mice.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07They're not silly.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- I love them.- Oh, come on, you two.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Play nicely.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05Oh, my goodness me.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08We seem to have lost some of our sugar plums.
0:07:08 > 0:07:14Oh, yes. I wonder where they've got to.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20Clara, have you seen any of our missing sugar plums?
0:07:21 > 0:07:25And Fred, I don't suppose you've seen any of them, have you?
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Well, if it wasn't Clara and it wasn't Fred,
0:07:31 > 0:07:34maybe one of the toys came to life and ate them up.
0:07:34 > 0:07:39Or it could be the Sugar Plum Fairy.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44The Sugar Plum who?
0:07:44 > 0:07:48She's the ruler of the Land of Sweets.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50There's no such thing.

0:14:21 > 0:14:26Well, the Queen Mouse lives in a land of cheese, of course.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27She's amazing.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30And she completes my collection.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Oh, thank you so much, Uncle D.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36This is such a beautiful toy, Uncle D.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40I think it's my best and favourite present ever. Thank you!
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Wow! His eyes move as well.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48- What? - I just saw his eyes move.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54It's good to see you're still using your imagination, Clara.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57He can't move his eyes. He's just a wooden toy.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58Aren't you?
0:15:00 > 0:15:02No, I just saw his eyes move.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05He looked over there. At Queen Mouse.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07- Fred, did you see?- No.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Mum, did you?
0:15:10 > 0:15:13No, Clara. You must be tired after all that's dancing.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16No, no. I saw him move his eyes.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19He's a magic nutcracker.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25But if you want to keep it a secret, Uncle D, I'll play along.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31Well, of course, all of my toys are magic in one way or another.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Well, I think my mouse queen is much better then your nutcracker.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- Fred!- My nutcracker beats your silly mouse queen
0:15:38 > 0:15:41and all the rest of your toy mice collection.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Who wants to collect toy mice, anyway?
0:15:44 > 0:15:49Well, who wants a silly nutcracker? You... You don't even like nuts.
0:15:49 > 0:15:50Uh-uh-uh-uh!
0:15:50 > 0:15:52I want you to say sorry.
0:15:52 > 0:15:53Both of you.
0:15:55 > 0:15:56- Fine.- Sorry.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- Really sorry.- Really, really sorry.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Well done.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Now, children, to bed.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09- It's late.- Say goodnight.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- Goodnight.- Goodnight.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Goodnight.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15ALL: Merry Christmas!
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Sweet dreams.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29I love going dancing on Christmas Eve.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31I had so much fun.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33I didn't want to leave.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37Outside in the dark, the snow was falling deep.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41Fred and Clara didn't think they could sleep.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52They were both so excited about their new toys.
0:16:54 > 0:16:55I'm not speaking to you.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57No? Well, me neither.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04Night-night.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05Night-night.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10But soon, they started yawning.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Then made no more noise.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16Midnight.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22When Christmas Eve becomes Christmas Day,
0:17:22 > 0:17:24magical toys come out to play.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36When everyone else was asleep in their beds,
0:17:36 > 0:17:41their best-loved toys started moving their heads.
0:17:43 > 0:17:48They opened their eyes and stared all around.
0:17:50 > 0:17:55Then started to lift right up from the ground.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Fred and Clara kept sleeping right on,
0:18:01 > 0:18:05never sensing that anything could be wrong.
0:18:10 > 0:18:15Their home lit up bright like a Christmas tree.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Their favourite toys were now breaking free.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24Clara's treasured nutcracker and Fred's prized queen mouse
0:18:24 > 0:18:26vanished incredibly...
0:18:28 > 0:18:29..out of the house.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Then just as quick, all was quiet once more.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42You could even hear their dad's gentle snore.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44SNORING
0:18:52 > 0:18:53Fred!
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Fred! Stop pretending to sleep.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01What?
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Did you take my nutcracker?
0:19:03 > 0:19:04No.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07No.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08Mouse Queen's gone.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Clara, have you taken her?
0:19:10 > 0:19:12TINKLING
0:19:17 > 0:19:19I've got goose bumps.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21I feel all electric.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22SWOOSHING AND TINKLING
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Uncle D?
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Is that you?
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Keep on practising, you'll be fine.
0:19:43 > 0:19:44You're awake.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48That is... You're not asleep.
0:19:49 > 0:19:55- What are you two doing up? - Are you doing actual magic, Uncle D?
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Maybe.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Have you seen my nutcracker?
0:20:02 > 0:20:06I placed him at the end of my bed carefully before I went to sleep.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09And now he's gone. I'm really worried about him.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12And my mouse queen, she's gone, too. I want to find her.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15They've both gone to the Land of Sweets.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- Really?- That doesn't sound like a real place.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Oh, it is, Clara. It's very real.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25Full of toys and presents and...
0:20:26 > 0:20:27And what?
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Well, I'm not really supposed to tell you.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32BOTH: What?
0:20:32 > 0:20:35I can say, Clara, that your nutcracker
0:20:35 > 0:20:37and your queen mouse, Fred,
0:20:37 > 0:20:40are very important in this extraordinary land
0:20:40 > 0:20:43and they have a great challenge ahead of them.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Well, we need to go and find them, then.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49You're not scared to visit another world?
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Not to find our special toys.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54By all that is adventurous,
0:20:54 > 0:20:58I think you two are exactly what the Land of Sweets needs right now.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06# Fairytale hour before Christmas Day
0:21:06 > 0:21:12# Magical wonders occur they say
0:21:18 > 0:21:20# With a wave of my hand
0:21:22 > 0:21:25# I'll take you to a mystical land... #
0:21:28 > 0:21:30My mice!
0:21:31 > 0:21:33But they've all come to life.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36And all my toys, too. Hello!
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- Hello.- Wow.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44How did you do that?
0:21:46 > 0:21:54# I'm Uncle Drosselmeyer. #
0:21:58 > 0:22:01To the Land of Sweets!
0:22:16 > 0:22:18ALL: Wow!
0:22:18 > 0:22:20The Land of Sweets.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22It's an amazing place.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26Straight away, it puts a smile on your face.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30It's covered in drifts of sugary snow
0:22:30 > 0:22:33where chocolate trees and jelly flowers grow.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39The children were stunned and full of such joy
0:22:39 > 0:22:45they almost forgot to look for their toys.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49They had no idea what lay ahead
0:22:49 > 0:22:54but they were ever so brave, our Clara and Fred.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Wow! I've never seen so much...
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Snow!
0:23:06 > 0:23:07Is it snow?
0:23:08 > 0:23:10It tastes like sugar.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Sugar snow!
0:23:12 > 0:23:16- But there's no such thing.- We're in the Land of Sweets now, Fred.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20The Sugar Plum Fairy makes sure that everything tastes amazing.

0:23:55 > 0:23:59Er, crash the cymbals really loudly?
0:23:59 > 0:24:02No! Don't crash the cymbals.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03Oh. Right, sorry.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06- Right, come on, let's do the next bit.- OK.- Here we go.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10- What are you doing? - We're practising.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Today's the day of the Great Sweetie Dance-off.
0:24:13 > 0:24:14And what's that?
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- Well, every Christmas, we... - The toys.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21..the toys have a big dance competition against them.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22- The mice.- The mice.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25And the Sugar Plum Fairy...
0:24:25 > 0:24:26I love her!
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Yeah.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29He really does.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31..decides who's the winner.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34This year, we are so going to win.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36- Monkey!- Oh, right, no cymbals.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39- Got you.- We are going to lift that beautiful,
0:24:39 > 0:24:44sparkling Sugar Plum Trophy high above our heads.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45Yeah, we are.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50Especially after Jack in the box here lifts me high above his head.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Yeah. What?
0:24:52 > 0:24:53Let's do a lift.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57- Oh, no, no, no, no, no.- Come on. - I do not think that's a good idea.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- How difficult can it be? - Seriously, you look quite heavy.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04I'm lighter than I look. Come on. Everyone wants it.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06- Let's do a lift. Come on. - No, no, no, no.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- Don't encourage him. - I'm coming for you.
0:25:09 > 0:25:15- You're not go to wind me up. - Here I come.- No, no, no.- Here I...
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Yeah, that was never going to work.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Well, do you often win?
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Not exactly, no.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25We win as often as the mice do.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30- Yeah, which is never. - Never.- So nobody ever wins?
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Not the toys or the mice?
0:25:32 > 0:25:33- No.- No.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35How can that be?
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Well, it always does go truly wrong.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Yeah, oh, every year it's a right muddle.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Yeah, yeah. So this year,
0:25:42 > 0:25:46the Sugar Plum Fairy says if we can't make it work,
0:25:46 > 0:25:48she's going to cancel it!
0:25:48 > 0:25:51No more Great Sweetie Dance-off!
0:25:51 > 0:25:55We could lose our most favourite Christmas tradition
0:25:55 > 0:25:59- for ever.- Ever!- Ever!- Ever!- Ever!
0:25:59 > 0:26:00E-ver!
0:26:02 > 0:26:06- Which is why we're practising. - Extra hard.
0:26:06 > 0:26:11Oh, here she is, our ruler! The president of the Land of the Sweets.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13The Sugar Plum Fairy!
0:26:13 > 0:26:19And her husband, the first gentleman, Christmas Cracker.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Oh, my dearest Sugar Plum.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Hello.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27MUSIC STOPS
0:26:27 > 0:26:29- LAUGHTER - Right, that's awkward.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33- A little help?- Oh, my, is that you, Drosselmeyer?
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Oh, welcome back, old friend.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37It's been far too long.
0:26:37 > 0:26:42And welcome, young strangers, to my delicious domain.
0:26:42 > 0:26:47Ma'am, may I present to you my nephew, Fred, and my niece, Clara.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Now, tell me, what dance do you do?
0:26:50 > 0:26:52I'm sorry, Your Highness?
0:26:52 > 0:26:53Sorry? Why?
0:26:53 > 0:26:57What have you done? We don't want any more trouble or muddle.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Not on the day of the Great Sweetie Dance-off.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04I'm going, I'm going, I'm going... I've gone. Oh.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08Right, cracker down, we have a cracker down.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Would someone...? Thank you.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13We don't want to make any muddle or trouble, sir.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17We just want to find our special and best loved toy - my nutcracker.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Oh, a fantastic dancer.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24- Really?- Oh, yes, the nutcracker is very impressive.
0:27:24 > 0:27:25He's the leader.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Yeah, of us toys.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29And what about my queen mouse?
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Well, she is the leader of the mice, of course.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34She's an awesome dancer, too.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Yeah, seriously, she is really good.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Now, as you all know,
0:27:39 > 0:27:42after the total and utter shambles that was last year...
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Shambles.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48..I passed a law in the House of Sweets which states...
0:27:49 > 0:27:51HE SPEAKS NONSENSE
0:27:58 > 0:28:00LAUGHTER
0:28:01 > 0:28:06"If the dancers cannot finish their dances without everyone falling over
0:28:06 > 0:28:11"and hurting themselves, then the Sugar Plum Fairy...
0:28:15 > 0:28:19"..will be forced to cancel the Great Sweetie Dance-off for ever."
0:28:19 > 0:28:23I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going...
0:28:23 > 0:28:27- I'm all right, I'm all right. - Your Great and Royal Highnesses,
0:28:27 > 0:28:31I have brought Clara and Fred here because I believe they can help.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33- Really?- Us?
0:28:33 > 0:28:38- What can we do?- Uncle D, we don't know anything about dancing.
0:28:38 > 0:28:42Oh, it is time for the Great Sweetie Dance-off to begin.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45Right, let's see what you children can do.
0:28:45 > 0:28:46Oh!
0:28:46 > 0:28:48Shambles.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Clara and Fred were both so excited,
0:28:50 > 0:28:54so soon with their toys to be reunited.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57But they can't imagine what they can do.
0:28:57 > 0:28:58How can they help?
0:28:58 > 0:29:01They don't have a clue.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06Look, Fred, there's my nutcracker.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Wow, doesn't he look amazing?
0:29:15 > 0:29:17- Woo!- Yeah!- Woo!
0:29:21 > 0:29:24Your nutcracker says he's dancing for you, Clara.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27Oh! Good luck, Nutcracker.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30Clara, Queen Mouse.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33And Queen Mouse is dancing for you, Fred.

0:30:03 > 0:30:05And please do take care.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16Right, are the first-aiders standing by?
0:30:16 > 0:30:20The mice won't need any first aid, don't you worry.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27That's right. We've been practising all night, every night,
0:30:27 > 0:30:29while the children sleep.

0:30:59 > 0:31:01Enough.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04Very good. I think we're ready, then.

0:37:58 > 0:38:01# The love of the nation whoever you meet
0:38:01 > 0:38:04# Now that we've started we'll never be parted
0:38:04 > 0:38:07# You are the harmony, we are the beat
0:38:07 > 0:38:10# Forever
0:38:10 > 0:38:14# Forever going to play together
0:38:17 > 0:38:20# Forever
0:38:21 > 0:38:25# Forever going to play together. #
0:38:33 > 0:38:37That was so beautiful!
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Well done, well done!
0:38:41 > 0:38:44But, sweetie, I mean Madam President,
0:38:44 > 0:38:48you need to decide who has won.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50The toys or the mice?
0:38:50 > 0:38:54But they were both so good I can't choose a winner.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57Fred and Clara, who do you think were the best?
0:38:57 > 0:39:02Well, I can't tell but the toys were much better dancing with the mice
0:39:02 > 0:39:04than they were by themselves.
0:39:04 > 0:39:08The mice were better with the toys. You can't divide them for a prize.
0:39:08 > 0:39:13In that case I decree from now on and henceforth from this special day
0:39:13 > 0:39:17the toys and mice shall share dance moves.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20It will no longer be the Great Sweetie Dance-off,
0:39:20 > 0:39:24but instead the Great Sweetie Dance Together.
0:39:24 > 0:39:25Hurray!
0:39:25 > 0:39:26BELL RINGS
0:39:29 > 0:39:32The currant bun sun is rising, my friends.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34It's Christmas morning.
0:39:34 > 0:39:39Oh, no, if you don't get home soon, you could be stuck here forever.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41Well, I like it here.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44Perhaps we can come back next Christmas?
0:39:44 > 0:39:46You are all very welcome every year.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50Your visits can become our new Christmas tradition.
0:39:50 > 0:39:55Oh, thank you, ma'am, and thank you everyone, and Merry Christmas.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57ALL: Merry Christmas!
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Oh, bye, Nutcracker.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Bye.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Clara, come on, we must get home.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18The children ran back through the Christmas tree door and found
0:40:18 > 0:40:22their special toys back on the floor.
0:40:22 > 0:40:28Nutcracker and Queen Mouse were standing together
0:40:28 > 0:40:33as if they had been happily dancing for ever.
0:40:34 > 0:40:39Christmas morning and not a single peep.
0:40:40 > 0:40:45Were Fred and Clara still sound asleep?
0:40:49 > 0:40:51Clara!
0:40:51 > 0:40:55Fred! It's Christmas morning.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Oh, Fred, I think we slept in.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02You've normally got up and opened your presents by now.
0:41:02 > 0:41:06We went to the Land Of Sweets with Uncle Drosselmeyer last night.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08My nutcracker.
0:41:08 > 0:41:13Oh, yes, and we saw an amazing dance competition between Queen Mouse
0:41:13 > 0:41:16- and the Nutcracker.- Did you?
0:41:16 > 0:41:17Are you sure it wasn't a dream?
0:41:17 > 0:41:20Well, they can't have had the same dream.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24Oh, it looks like Fred and Clara are playing together.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Is this true?
0:41:26 > 0:41:30Did you take my children to the Land of Sweets last night?
0:41:30 > 0:41:33Oh, well, I thought since it was Christmas Eve,
0:41:33 > 0:41:35an extra bit of magic wouldn't hurt.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39I thought I'd introduce them to the Sugar Plum Fairy.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42Well, I suppose as long as you were there
0:41:42 > 0:41:44to look after my little darlings.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48And that is the end of our Christmas show.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52But one more thing to say before we go.
0:41:52 > 0:41:57Clara and Fred now love to play together.
0:41:57 > 0:42:03They're going to have fun for ever and ever!
