This is more or less convincing me that the Barbie nutcracker movie is the most acceptable nutcracker adaptation (admittedly that’s the only movie nutcracker adaptation I can think of). The plot makes a little more sense then the original ballet and Tim curry voicing the rat king is top tier.
Nah, The Nutcracker Prince from 1990 is by far the best adaptation imho. It is literally based on the story that originated the ballet, so it has a little more background to it. That movie was my childhood!
This is giving the same energy as Riverdale when it comes to taking the source material and changing it so much that people forget what it was originally about 😂
As someone who never read the Archie comics if you told me a year ago that's what Riverdale was based on I would yell at you because why would you lie to me like that
Honestly, even Disney fell flat on their face when retelling this story. If you ask me, just watch the Barbie one. It's clearly the best Nutcracker adaptation.
How do you have a movie about Jewish Albert Einstein with a Nazi metaphor and yet the focus of the film is still CHRISTMAS I guess I should be grateful though that the filmmakers stayed away from Hanukkah, based on what they made
Me and my sibling both did ballet as children, and somehow we got ahold of this movie and watched it. We couldn't make it through the first time because of the terrifying cgi.
Ok i saw this in theatre when it came out, I was seven years old, and I remember screaming in terror at a specific scene and being super embarrassed about it. Later it turned out a friend of mine was in the same viewing as me and she thought the the scream was just part of the movie… In retrospect I understand why she thought that

“The Nutcracker” is basically like Christmas “Alice in Wonderland”. It’s about a young girl who goes on a magical journey to a whimsical world where she visits various lands to help the locals with their problems. Instead of following a white rabbit, the little girl follows a Nuctcracker solider.

For those of you who are curious about the original Nutcracker storyline, here's the abridged version: Marie (Clara) receives a nutcracker doll from her godfather at a Christmas party. Her brother breaks the doll's arm, but she puts a cloth sling around it to fix it. The godfather tells them a tale about a handsome young man who broke a princess' curse brought by the Mouse Queen by cracking a nut or something and that somehow kills the Mouse Queen, but then the boy is cursed to turn into a Nutcracker in return and was shunned. But the Mouse King, comes to attack as revenge for killing his wife. Marie throws a shoe at the Mouse King, but is tossed into a bookcase and is knocked out. Her parents gaslight her, saying the whole incident was her imagination and she should grow up. But the next night, she sacrifices her sweets to the Mouse King and the Nutcracker tells her that if she gives him his sword, he can kill the Mouse King. She does. The next night, he kills the Mouse King and he's transformed into a human, whisking her away to the Land of Sweets. After she's brought back home, the guy comes knocking asking for hand in marriage, which she says yes. He comes the next year to whisk her away to his kingdom and crowns her as his queen. Considering that she was EIGHT when this happened and the boy is probably a teenager at this point, that's...a whole can of worms. And super gross. Edit: Realized that I left out the fact that the Nutcracker is the godfather's nephew in the fairytale. My bad. Not sure if the same can be said for the ballet.
The Nutcracker is based off a short story by E.T.A Hoffman. It’s about a girl named Marie/Clara who grows fond of a nutcracker doll that was gifted got her and her siblings. While playing with the doll, her brother Fritz breaks it and Marie tends to it. She notices the doll comes alive for a short while but writes it off as her imagination. At night, the grandfather clock that was given to her by her godfather Drosselmeyer strikes and the seven-headed Mouse King with his army appears. The toys and the nutcracker fight them off but when the nutcracker is almost defeated by the Mouse King, Marie takes her slipper and throws it at him before fainting. When she wakes up, she tries to tell her parents what happened but they don’t believe her. Days later, when Drosselmeyer returns after fixing the nutcracker up, he tells Marie the story of Princess Pirlipat and Madam Mouserinks, the Queen of the Mice, which explains how nutcrackers came to be and why they look the way they do. The Mouse Queen tricked Prilipat’s mother and in retaliation the king had mouse traps invented by his court inventor named Drosselmeyer and started killing mice. The Mouse Queen was angry at this and swore to get revenge. To protect the queen and the Princess, the king had cats surround her to scare off the mice but one of the maids who as tasked with keeping the cats awake fell asleep. The Mouse Queen cursed the princess, turning her ugly with a huge head, a wide grin, and a beard like a nutcracker. The king blamed Drosselmeyer and tasked him to find a cure. After some searching, Drosselmeyer found that the princess could only be cured by eating the Crackatook nut, which must be cracked and handed to her by a man who had never been shaved nor worn boots since birth, and who must, without opening his eyes hand her the kernel and take seven steps backwards without stumbling. After searching for said man and nut for years, Drosselmeyer learns his own cousin was in possession of the nut and that his son was the man they were looking for. The King promised that whoever cracked the nut would marry Prilipat and upon the man doing so, the princess regained her beauty. However, when Drosselmeyer’s nephew was on his seventh step, he tripped over the Mouse Queen and Prilipat’s curse was transferred onto him. Upon seeing his figure, Prilipat refused to marry him. After learning this, Marie is threatened by the Mouse King, the Mouse Queen’s son, that if she didn’t give him her sweets and dolls he would harm the nutcracker. Wanting to protect the doll, Marie complies but the Mouse King asks for more each night. The nutcracker tells Marie to give him a sword which she takes from her brother’s toys and he defeats the Mouse King once and for all. He then takes her to the doll kingdom where Marie experiences wonderful things. When she falls Asleep, she wakes up back at her house and again tells her parents who don’t believe her. Marie swears to the nutcracker that if he were real she would not be like Prilipat and she would love him no matter what he looks like. Her mother then tells her that Drosselmeyer’s nephew has come to visit and when he sees her, he tells Marie that by saying she loved him despite his looks, she broke the curse. He asks her to marry him and she accepts. He takes her to the doll kingdom where they marry and she becomes queen. The only thing that I don’t get about this story is 1) When did the nutcracker become prince? He was the son of a puppeteer before the curse so when did he ascend to prince hood? And 2) Marie was seven when this all happened. How did she get married? What!? I would highly recommend looking for The Nutcracker by Jetleg Prodcutions because it’s the only adaption that follows the original story to a T.
My literature brain is immediately telling me that this was Clara's very imaginative mind and that she was dreaming, she's actually mentally ill and this was all a very intricate hallucination that she has whenever she goes into a psychotic breakdown.
If as a child I was given that nutcracker as a present, I would simply have to punt it out the window. If it comes at me with that bouncy walk it’s going out the window 🧍🏾♀️
we had several as decorations for the holiday season when i was a child and they used to creep me out. i could only be in the same room as them in the day time 😭
It's profusely confusing that the allegorical nazis play a jazz song, considering that such style was deemed "degerate art" by the Third Reich, but I can't expect less of a Nutcracker adaptation that even takes the leap to make this allegory in the first place (anachronistic too, the ballet came way before the nazis took power, like wth).
I'm still stuck on having the Jewish man be godfather to the Christian children in a Christian-holiday-based movie that references mass murder of Jewish people. Like, I agree the jazz is out of place but the whole story's fucked to begin with

_"I don't know if it's racist but it don't feel right"_ 🤣 This reminds me of when the (currently banned for saying Cr**ker) streamer HasanAbi correctly said White people have a superpower where they can say anything and make it feel racist, ex. Mexican, Boy, Urban, etc. It certainly applies to actions too.
@@Teddy-wd3ro *tl;dr* : Nah, he's a Turk, they're not Arabs and he's currently a Triscuit according to the US Census. *TED Talk version* : US racial labels are based in arbitrary White supremacist bullsht and thinking Arabs aren't White shows how it keeps changing as Middle Easterners/North Africans aka MENA people are labeled as White on the US Census and have been for decades but are clearly no longer treated nor seen as such with Arabs or people who "look Arab" (...F in the chat for Mediterraneans, Indians, SE Asians, etc) being seen as not White and Muslim, ex. attacks on Sikhs after 9/11. MENA people being White had been assumed since the 1800s but was re-litigated in the early 1900s with the "Asia side" of Turkey being a line in the sand due to the Chinese Exclusion Act. So Turks, Kurds, Syrians, Lebanese, etc were in dispute as the Wheat Thins couldn't have a group they didn't know whether to hate or accept, they needed answers! So the literal Right answer was broken up into skin color and religious/cultural requirements (i.e Protestant Christian/Anglo "compatible" Culture). Mormons also weren't fully accepted as White due to these requirements for a bit but unlike Catholics it was too late they were born and bred in the US so yeah. So light skinned Christian MENA people were often given White status by default or in court cases but not those who were or were seen as darker and or Arab/Muslim until the Naturalization Act of 1952 stopped all racial restrictions (on paper). Prior tho in 1944 the 1st Arab Muslim was officially ruled as White in the court case Ex Parte Mohriez which set the current Census precedent but not the post-9/11 social one. So did you notice a trend? US society has looped back to Arab/Muslim= not White cause being White is arbitrary European colonizer bullsh*t based in exclusion that can be taken away from groups and has. It's also of course not just a US thing. Why do I know all this as a Black American with no MENA roots? Because I had to research the concept of Whiteness and the legal battles many took to become White for a term paper. If I had to suffer thru how US racial hierarchies and oppression was established beyond Native genocide/slavery/Jim Crow/etc and why it affects all to this day, everyone has to especially the Ritz! *This is the end of my TED Talk.

I found out like 2 years ago (I forgot the plot now tho) when we had a school trip to see it in the opera house and they gave out a small book with the plot and the dancers' names and roles. I definitely would have not understood a thing without that book. I always thought ballet was just people dancing around lol.

I rly think you should do one on ‘The Boy’ 2016 Basically white woman ignoring red flags the movie, not to mention they had to cgi a mask on a character in post because test audiences said he wasn’t scary enough
As I was watching this, I realised more and more that I watched this movie as a child, it was literally the moment I saw that black kid cuz I remember as a black child being like “oh my god a black person! That’s crazy!” so thank you Kennie for bringing back all that trauma, it honestly explained so much abt how I turned out
i watched this as a kid and it was terrifying, it was something i had blocked out of my memories until i saw the thumbnail, i remember that after i watched this movie i developed a fear of anything nutcracker related because it would remind me of this movie
It’s crazy I saw this movie but it some how escaped my memory until she showed this. I don’t remember a damn thing from this nightmare and I’m very glad I don’t bc idk wtf that was
This movie is like if Abc Christmas writers and an 'art person' got together and you KNOW that's the only way to explain the creative choices of this nightmare film
As musical theater fan since early childhood seeing Nathan Lane in this film broke my heart and soul. You were in the original Lion King and HAVE 3 TONY AWARDS MR. BIALYSTOCK!
I nearly choked when the one rat made the low effort "roar" combined with the sudden frightening face transformation, on top of your reaction that just sent me 🤣
Came to the comment section to hear everyone hyping Kennie up about the Marvel sponsorship and instead I found: The Barbie Nutcracker is the only good Nutcracker.
I was shown this film in my primary school when I was younger and I remember becoming absolutely obsessed with it only to realise how horrifying it was when I rewatched it a few years ago
Witches did the human/rat fusion much, much better at making them the horrifying monsters they truly were. Also, if they tried to replicate the Rat King as an actual rat king… oh goodness, I could only imagine the horror!
I was so confused because I was like "this is not the live-action Nutcracker movie I remember but goddammit I remember watching one" and it was giving me an off feeling. The one I was thinking of is from 1993 and has Macaulay Caulkin as the prince.
I would love to see you do a Sims 4 let's play. Because I remember watching a video where you talked about your sims and the storyline that went with it and I was thinking "Kennie doing a Sims 4 LP would make my entire life" not only that but we need more black simmers.
There are multiple versions of the Nutcracker story, but the version that Tchaikovsky used as inspiration for his ballet was written by Alexandre Dumas (author of The Three Musketeers). The story is supposed to be a dream that Clara's godfather, a wizard who never explicitly admits to being a wizard, gives as a present on Christmas Eve. I've always loved the ballet, so seeing a Nutcracker with no dancing is already "no"--I can only imagine the horror of going into this blind.
Yo, is it just me or the week becomes slow when you start watching Kennie ? like I be looking forward to Saturdays. When I feel bored asf, I would literally rewatch her entire channel until I am fed.
Funnily enough, the original story “the nutcracker” which the ballet is based on is written by the German author E.T.A Hoffmann who wrote all kinds of acidy stories mainly about humans falling in love with human looking objects (e.g. Dolls, Paintings…). So I think he might actually appreciate this disturbing piece of “art”.
(maybe) a fun fact: I went to see the Nutcracker 3D in the cinema in 2009. Just before we moved house. And exactly 10 years later in 2019, I went to see The Nutcracker and the 4 realms. Just after I first met my to be best friend in university. You could say this is the prime example of the meme "If I had a coin for each time I went to see a bad nutcracker movie in time with important events in my life, I'd only have 2 coins but it's funny it happened twice."
As someone who has gone to see and been in performances of 'The Nutcracker', this film remains one of the most mortifying film experiences I have ever witnessed.
This was like a discount find at a dollar store that I gave my daughter one year because we are a HUD type of family and damn was that some extreme weirdness and unexpected racism! It was especially unsettling because Albert Einstein is my cousin on my father's side so the only reaction I had was just utter speechlessness and the urge to cleanse. I'm so glad you, our TH-cam support system, shared that icky and wild ride. Love to you and the happiest of holidays ❤️
“Nazi Rats” at 6:55 sounded so familiar so I had to check to see if you’ve done this movie before. No, but I’ve seen it. 🙃 I don’t remember hating it but I did 100% watch it as a weird ass thriller and so got what I signed up for.

Thanks, I hate it! That thumbnail is nightmare inducing, can't wait to hear its backstory and hopefully Kennie's commentary will keep the nightmares at bay
I knew something had to be off about this movie because I was going to go see it. The day it came out I went to the movies to see a different movie. I told the person I was with I'd be back the next Saturday to see it. By the next week not only was it not showing, but the theater had pulled all advertisements to make it seem like it was never there. I live in a small town, and this is the only movie theater within a 40 min drive. Do you know how bad something has to be for a small movie theater in a small town to be like "Guess we losing money on this one. Pull it!"
At the beginning of this video I was like "I feel so bad for the kids who had to see such an awful movie" and then halfway through I got whiplashed back into time by the image of the rat king and realized I was that child and I was scared
I definitely watched this as a young child when putting up ornaments on our Christmas tree. Somehow, my brain found this traumatizing enough to suppress theses memories till I watched this video. Now I'm wondering if I wanted those memories back... either way, great bad movies and a beat to end the year with.
I actually watched it twice as a kid... Once in theatre with my family and later on TV. Explains a lot with how i turned out. I remember being terrified of the rat king and his transformation. Thank you for unlocking my suppressed memories
Omg SAME about the morning person and early bedtime thing. I miss having late night gaming sessions or just getting up to random shit during holiday or weekend times and it’s ridiculous that I wake up at stupid o’clock in the morning with nothing to do because everyone’s asleep or closed 💀💀 feeling like an old person going to bed at like 8 and waking up at 5 😭
I feel somewhat attacked. Cause I understand and recognize how god awful this movie is. But I remember enjoying this as a younger person. But now I can only bring myself to watch certain parts….but never the whole thing. A very different and much more self destructive feeling than say watching Barbie movies, which are still enjoyable to watch as an adult I think what is so funny coming back to this a year later is realizing how if you tried to show an adult this movie for the first time it would be insanely hard to follow. But as a 7 year old child I completely understood everything happening plot wise. The stuff like nazi rats I did not grasp. But the acid trip-ness of the plot never had me confused. I always understood it
Danny Gonzales's recent video on this reminded me of it's existence and I had to come back here and watch your review again haha this is a truly wild adaptation
Have a great holiday break time!! Also I found myself returning to your last Christmas themed video three times this past week haha. Please watch Flowers In the Attic.
lol as someone that has an art degree I feel obligated to tell Kennie that I'm like 99% sure that electrocuted shark in the tank bit was just a reference to the art piece 'The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living' (yes that is the title). Since they made that one rat look like Andy Warhol I think they were just referencing other art for some reason (it's not even art done by Warhol so idk why they chose to reference it?). idk I never really got the shark in a tank art piece but I learned about it in art history so I felt I should share.
when you said their grandfather or whatever was albert fucking einstein i thought it was meant to be a comment about how similar the actor is and suddenly i’m forced into the horrible realization that it, in fact, is albert einstein solely based of the fact he’s signing about relativity and e = mc2. i’m crying and shaking.
the fact that i knew the plot of the nutcracker solely because of the barbie adaptation is either humiliating or very girl boss of me

For those of you who are curious about the original Nutcracker storyline, here's the abridged version: Marie (Clara) receives a nutcracker doll from her godfather at a Christmas party. Her brother breaks the doll's arm, but she puts a cloth sling around it to fix it. The godfather tells them a tale about a handsome young man who broke a princess' curse brought by the Mouse Queen by cracking a nut or something and that somehow kills the Mouse Queen, but then the boy is cursed to turn into a Nutcracker in return and was shunned. But the Mouse King, comes to attack as revenge for killing his wife. Marie throws a shoe at the Mouse King, but is tossed into a bookcase and is knocked out. Her parents gaslight her, saying the whole incident was her imagination and she should grow up. But the next night, she sacrifices her sweets to the Mouse King and the Nutcracker tells her that if she gives him his sword, he can kill the Mouse King. She does. The next night, he kills the Mouse King and he's transformed into a human, whisking her away to the Land of Sweets. After she's brought back home, the guy comes knocking asking for hand in marriage, which she says yes. He comes the next year to whisk her away to his kingdom and crowns her as his queen. Considering that she was EIGHT when this happened and the boy is probably a teenager at this point, that's...a whole can of worms. And super gross.
Edit: Realized that I left out the fact that the Nutcracker is the godfather's nephew in the fairytale. My bad. Not sure if the same can be said for the ballet.
This tale sounds like a fever dream 😂
To make this worse: the ballet has a Freudian ending, where Nutcracker came out... as Clara's godfather himself but a younger version.

The Nutcracker is based off a short story by E.T.A Hoffman. It’s about a girl named Marie/Clara who grows fond of a nutcracker doll that was gifted got her and her siblings. While playing with the doll, her brother Fritz breaks it and Marie tends to it. She notices the doll comes alive for a short while but writes it off as her imagination. At night, the grandfather clock that was given to her by her godfather Drosselmeyer strikes and the seven-headed Mouse King with his army appears. The toys and the nutcracker fight them off but when the nutcracker is almost defeated by the Mouse King, Marie takes her slipper and throws it at him before fainting. When she wakes up, she tries to tell her parents what happened but they don’t believe her. Days later, when Drosselmeyer returns after fixing the nutcracker up, he tells Marie the story of Princess Pirlipat and Madam Mouserinks, the Queen of the Mice, which explains how nutcrackers came to be and why they look the way they do. The Mouse Queen tricked Prilipat’s mother and in retaliation the king had mouse traps invented by his court inventor named Drosselmeyer and started killing mice. The Mouse Queen was angry at this and swore to get revenge. To protect the queen and the Princess, the king had cats surround her to scare off the mice but one of the maids who as tasked with keeping the cats awake fell asleep. The Mouse Queen cursed the princess, turning her ugly with a huge head, a wide grin, and a beard like a nutcracker. The king blamed Drosselmeyer and tasked him to find a cure. After some searching, Drosselmeyer found that the princess could only be cured by eating the Crackatook nut, which must be cracked and handed to her by a man who had never been shaved nor worn boots since birth, and who must, without opening his eyes hand her the kernel and take seven steps backwards without stumbling. After searching for said man and nut for years, Drosselmeyer learns his own cousin was in possession of the nut and that his son was the man they were looking for. The King promised that whoever cracked the nut would marry Prilipat and upon the man doing so, the princess regained her beauty. However, when Drosselmeyer’s nephew was on his seventh step, he tripped over the Mouse Queen and Prilipat’s curse was transferred onto him. Upon seeing his figure, Prilipat refused to marry him. After learning this, Marie is threatened by the Mouse King, the Mouse Queen’s son, that if she didn’t give him her sweets and dolls he would harm the nutcracker. Wanting to protect the doll, Marie complies but the Mouse King asks for more each night. The nutcracker tells Marie to give him a sword which she takes from her brother’s toys and he defeats the Mouse King once and for all. He then takes her to the doll kingdom where Marie experiences wonderful things. When she falls Asleep, she wakes up back at her house and again tells her parents who don’t believe her. Marie swears to the nutcracker that if he were real she would not be like Prilipat and she would love him no matter what he looks like. Her mother then tells her that Drosselmeyer’s nephew has come to visit and when he sees her, he tells Marie that by saying she loved him despite his looks, she broke the curse. He asks her to marry him and she accepts. He takes her to the doll kingdom where they marry and she becomes queen.
The only thing that I don’t get about this story is 1) When did the nutcracker become prince? He was the son of a puppeteer before the curse so when did he ascend to prince hood? And 2) Marie was seven when this all happened. How did she get married? What!? I would highly recommend looking for The Nutcracker by Jetleg Prodcutions because it’s the only adaption that follows the original story to a T.
a short story? even that synopsis is a novel lol
interesting though, thanks
I think it got changed to a prince to have the story flow a bit better....also American audiences love royalty
My literature brain is immediately telling me that this was Clara's very imaginative mind and that she was dreaming, she's actually mentally ill and this was all a very intricate hallucination that she has whenever she goes into a psychotic breakdown.
There was a Hello Kitty cartoon that was pretty accurate to this story I think.
I think the black child is meant to be the Little Drummer Boy. That doesn't make it less weird, but I think that's who he's supposed to be,
If as a child I was given that nutcracker as a present, I would simply have to punt it out the window. If it comes at me with that bouncy walk it’s going out the window 🧍🏾♀️
It’s real bug-eyed too. That thing looks like a sleep paralysis demon.
If anyone ever gave that to me, I'd 100% believe that they were cursing me
It looks like that Pinnochio doll from that one nightmare I had when I was 6 🤣
we had several as decorations for the holiday season when i was a child and they used to creep me out. i could only be in the same room as them in the day time 😭
It's profusely confusing that the allegorical nazis play a jazz song, considering that such style was deemed "degerate art" by the Third Reich, but I can't expect less of a Nutcracker adaptation that even takes the leap to make this allegory in the first place (anachronistic too, the ballet came way before the nazis took power, like wth).
I'm still stuck on having the Jewish man be godfather to the Christian children in a Christian-holiday-based movie that references mass murder of Jewish people. Like, I agree the jazz is out of place but the whole story's fucked to begin with

there's legit another nutcracker movie with allegories to nazis and it's narrated by kevin sorbo

I can see it cause Nazis did allow Christmas and it could be a good horrifying element to a historical thriller but like...not for kids nor in 3D. I think Passover would be a good or better combination too but honestly lets just stop the "Nazis=ultimate evil" trope as clearly too many outside Germany don't get the assignment is not isolated, unique nor applies to...mask mandates.

I have seen the thumbnail and I am terrified, horrified, disgusted, quaking in my boots…the things I do for you, Kennie
Why did they think it would be a good idea to get the at-the-time 45 year old actress who played _moaning myrtle_ to voice their lead heroic nutcracker prince!?!? She sounds HORRIFYING AND UNNURVING!!
To keep everyone awake...by traumatizing the absolute heck out of them.
_"I don't know if it's racist but it don't feel right"_ 🤣
This reminds me of when the (currently banned for saying Cr**ker) streamer HasanAbi correctly said White people have a superpower where they can say anything and make it feel racist, ex. Mexican, Boy, Urban, etc. It certainly applies to actions too.
Love it how they banned him for that as he's also white
@@scarletsage6267 Twitch said it won't tolerate Ritz on Ritz violence!
@@scarletsage6267 isn’t he arab?
@@Teddy-wd3ro *tl;dr* : Nah, he's a Turk, they're not Arabs and he's currently a Triscuit according to the US Census.
*TED Talk version* : US racial labels are based in arbitrary White supremacist bullsht and thinking Arabs aren't White shows how it keeps changing as Middle Easterners/North Africans aka MENA people are labeled as White on the US Census and have been for decades but are clearly no longer treated nor seen as such with Arabs or people who "look Arab" (...F in the chat for Mediterraneans, Indians, SE Asians, etc) being seen as not White and Muslim, ex. attacks on Sikhs after 9/11.
MENA people being White had been assumed since the 1800s but was re-litigated in the early 1900s with the "Asia side" of Turkey being a line in the sand due to the Chinese Exclusion Act. So Turks, Kurds, Syrians, Lebanese, etc were in dispute as the Wheat Thins couldn't have a group they didn't know whether to hate or accept, they needed answers! So the literal Right answer was broken up into skin color and religious/cultural requirements (i.e Protestant Christian/Anglo "compatible" Culture). Mormons also weren't fully accepted as White due to these requirements for a bit but unlike Catholics it was too late they were born and bred in the US so yeah.
So light skinned Christian MENA people were often given White status by default or in court cases but not those who were or were seen as darker and or Arab/Muslim until the Naturalization Act of 1952 stopped all racial restrictions (on paper). Prior tho in 1944 the 1st Arab Muslim was officially ruled as White in the court case Ex Parte Mohriez which set the current Census precedent but not the post-9/11 social one.
So did you notice a trend? US society has looped back to Arab/Muslim= not White cause being White is arbitrary European colonizer bullsh*t based in exclusion that can be taken away from groups and has. It's also of course not just a US thing.
Why do I know all this as a Black American with no MENA roots? Because I had to research the concept of Whiteness and the legal battles many took to become White for a term paper. If I had to suffer thru how US racial hierarchies and oppression was established beyond Native genocide/slavery/Jim Crow/etc and why it affects all to this day, everyone has to especially the Ritz! *This is the end of my TED Talk.

There are way too many well-known actors in this movie. How did John Turturo, Nathan Lane and Richard Grant end up in this?! And is that Elle Fanning?!
Pretty sure the fairy was Cate Blanchett. The cast hurts my soul as much as the traumatizing CGI. Dx
@@HydraxSly202 It’s not Cate Blanchett, if that helps.
6:55 "i didn't realize the nutcracker had a plotline" 💀gurl me neither and i deadass played clara/marie at my ballet studio 😭
fr. i swear the entire thing
was just pretty people dancing in pretty clothes
I found out like 2 years ago (I forgot the plot now tho) when we had a school trip to see it in the opera house and they gave out a small book with the plot and the dancers' names and roles. I definitely would have not understood a thing without that book. I always thought ballet was just people dancing around lol.
@@faith8953 Personally I think that's the point of the ballet, like yes there's technically a story if you squint but mostly, just watch the pretty people being really good at ballet
i was in this show three times when i was younger (i played a petite party girl twice and then a solider) and i still dont really understand the plot
@@th3m00nstone i've played the main girl, a party girl, a mouse, a snowflake, a flower, a soldier, a doll, a spanish dancer, a tea dancer, a clown, and a maid. not a clue what the plot is 💀
I rly think you should do one on ‘The Boy’ 2016
Basically white woman ignoring red flags the movie, not to mention they had to cgi a mask on a character in post because test audiences said he wasn’t scary enough
OMFG that movie was sucjhhhh.... a disappointment!!!! Was trying to watch it for a movie night with friends.
and
REGRETTTT!!!
Is it "we need to talk about kevin?
disgusting. dont ever tell anyone to watch that movie for child predators, creep.
@@the-birbo huh? There’s no children in the movie what are u talking about?
The channel Pretty Much It did a commentary track to that movie and I was crying laughing, I’d love to hear Kennie also rip it apart
Sounds like this "untold story" should have remained untold forever
As I was watching this, I realised more and more that I watched this movie as a child, it was literally the moment I saw that black kid cuz I remember as a black child being like “oh my god a black person! That’s crazy!” so thank you Kennie for bringing back all that trauma, it honestly explained so much abt how I turned out
Same thing for me! It’s crazy
SAMEE!
i watched this as a kid and it was terrifying, it was something i had blocked out of my memories until i saw the thumbnail, i remember that after i watched this movie i developed a fear of anything nutcracker related because it would remind me of this movie
I’m so glad I never saw it
It’s crazy I saw this movie but it some how escaped my memory until she showed this. I don’t remember a damn thing from this nightmare and I’m very glad I don’t bc idk wtf that was
This movie is like if Abc Christmas writers and an 'art person' got together and you KNOW that's the only way to explain the creative choices of this nightmare film
As musical theater fan since early childhood seeing Nathan Lane in this film broke my heart and soul. You were in the original Lion King and HAVE 3 TONY AWARDS MR. BIALYSTOCK!
Ikr? Nathan my dude make better choices!
Can we talk about how Kennie basically just collected a check from Disney????!!! Girl yesssssss tell that mouse to run you your coin!!!!!
Well no more like marvel and the studio making the game because Disney only owns the movie and TV version of marvel not the video games
Kennie explaining the Rat Queen’s plan to burn toys to blot out the sun had me hyperventilating
the rat king would actually scar me for life if I saw him IN 3D at theaters, be it as a child or as an adult
THE CAST LIST FOR THIS MOVIE MAKES MY HEAD SPIN: Nathan Lane, Elle Fanning, John Turturro, Frances De La Tour, Richard E Grant?!?!?!
Elle’s parents 100% forced her to do the movie for money
I nearly choked when the one rat made the low effort "roar" combined with the sudden frightening face transformation, on top of your reaction that just sent me 🤣
Have you ever thought of doing a video of Burlesque with Cher, Christina Aguilera, and our BM&aB King, Cam Gigandet?
Seconded!
I believe Dianna Agron was also in that movie.
@@pixsdomain4886 she was. She was Cam's gf
Don't forget Kristen Bell and Stanley Tucci and Alan Cummings and... what the fuck were any of these people doing in that movie
@@wormdoodles I have no idea lol. It even had Eric Dane and John Brolin's father in it.
My grandmother loves Nutcrackers but I'm pretty sure even she would've thrown that thing in a fire if we gave it to her
The abrupt scene with the rat king suddenly whipping his head around to reveal….that…had me almost crying it’s so funny
Came to the comment section to hear everyone hyping Kennie up about the Marvel sponsorship and instead I found:
The Barbie Nutcracker is the only good Nutcracker.
At least I wasn't the only one thinking of the Barbie Nutcracker movie😂😂
This is a... kid's movie??? What a way to traumatize a child for all eternity😕 shoot, I'm an adult and the CGI faces bout sent me over the edge smh 😣
I was shown this film in my primary school when I was younger and I remember becoming absolutely obsessed with it only to realise how horrifying it was when I rewatched it a few years ago
Witches did the human/rat fusion much, much better at making them the horrifying monsters they truly were. Also, if they tried to replicate the Rat King as an actual rat king… oh goodness, I could only imagine the horror!
The thumbnail is enough to induce nightmares 😂
I was so confused because I was like "this is not the live-action Nutcracker movie I remember but goddammit I remember watching one" and it was giving me an off feeling.
The one I was thinking of is from 1993 and has Macaulay Caulkin as the prince.
You should watch "The Nutcracker and The Four Realms" next Christmas. It is amazingly awful
I would love to see you do a Sims 4 let's play. Because I remember watching a video where you talked about your sims and the storyline that went with it and I was thinking "Kennie doing a Sims 4 LP would make my entire life" not only that but we need more black simmers.
Speaking of your midsommar video: it actually inspired me to rewatch the movie yet again and now im writing my college essay based on it :)
The Nutcracker looks like one of those things that sing to Shrek and Donkey when they first get to Duloc
Ok but Barbie’s Nutcracker…….
MASTERPIECE 😭🙌🏾
Bitch “the black child” is sending meeeeeee, plssssss. This movie looks turrible. 💀
There are multiple versions of the Nutcracker story, but the version that Tchaikovsky used as inspiration for his ballet was written by Alexandre Dumas (author of The Three Musketeers). The story is supposed to be a dream that Clara's godfather, a wizard who never explicitly admits to being a wizard, gives as a present on Christmas Eve. I've always loved the ballet, so seeing a Nutcracker with no dancing is already "no"--I can only imagine the horror of going into this blind.
Yo, is it just me or the week becomes slow when you start watching Kennie ? like I be looking forward to Saturdays. When I feel bored asf, I would literally rewatch her entire channel until I am fed.
...I mean I agree but I don't believe looking forward to Saturdays is an uncommon opinion in the wider world
Just goes to show that Barbie still holds the title for the best nutcracker film
15:42 literally looks like a scene from an early 2000s emo band music video
Funnily enough, the original story “the nutcracker” which the ballet is based on is written by the German author E.T.A Hoffmann who wrote all kinds of acidy stories mainly about humans falling in love with human looking objects (e.g. Dolls, Paintings…). So I think he might actually appreciate this disturbing piece of “art”.
(maybe) a fun fact: I went to see the Nutcracker 3D in the cinema in 2009. Just before we moved house. And exactly 10 years later in 2019, I went to see The Nutcracker and the 4 realms. Just after I first met my to be best friend in university. You could say this is the prime example of the meme "If I had a coin for each time I went to see a bad nutcracker movie in time with important events in my life, I'd only have 2 coins but it's funny it happened twice."
As someone who has gone to see and been in performances of 'The Nutcracker', this film remains one of the most mortifying film experiences I have ever witnessed.
God that whole "i am awake but i dont like it" FAM? SAME.
This was like a discount find at a dollar store that I gave my daughter one year because we are a HUD type of family and damn was that some extreme weirdness and unexpected racism! It was especially unsettling because Albert Einstein is my cousin on my father's side so the only reaction I had was just utter speechlessness and the urge to cleanse. I'm so glad you, our TH-cam support system, shared that icky and wild ride. Love to you and the happiest of holidays ❤️
The Barbie Nutcracker is the best movie ever lol it sounds like I’m being sarcastic but it’s mad good
Yeah I agree
Yup, they showed this to my class in elementary school and I’ve had nightmares ever since. Thanks for bringing the nightmares back, Kenny.
“Nazi Rats” at 6:55 sounded so familiar so I had to check to see if you’ve done this movie before. No, but I’ve seen it. 🙃 I don’t remember hating it but I did 100% watch it as a weird ass thriller and so got what I signed up for.
Kennie I am very interested to know, what are your thoughts on love actually? I feel like people either love it or hate it
fkfkhgdlkd my dumb self thought you mean the actual concept of 'love' and not the movie.
love it more like it love
That movie is just terrible, and problematic, lol
@@shuris_vibranium "Mister Prime Minister, that's workplace harassment."
I watched it because people said it was so good and what-not.
But I HATE it :/
i was NOT prepared for the way that little goblin creature WALKS,,, girl when you said NIGHTMARE FUEL I DID NOT THINK AJSGNLJSNGLJ... this fella literally moves the way things move in my nightmares it's deeply disconcerting to watch while awake
Thanks, I hate it! That thumbnail is nightmare inducing, can't wait to hear its backstory and hopefully Kennie's commentary will keep the nightmares at bay
I knew something had to be off about this movie because I was going to go see it. The day it came out I went to the movies to see a different movie. I told the person I was with I'd be back the next Saturday to see it. By the next week not only was it not showing, but the theater had pulled all advertisements to make it seem like it was never there. I live in a small town, and this is the only movie theater within a 40 min drive. Do you know how bad something has to be for a small movie theater in a small town to be like "Guess we losing money on this one. Pull it!"
i mean to be fair the og nutcracker is also wild when u think about it for more than 2 seconds but as a ✨ballet kid✨ i never questioned it
y’all... i grew up on this chaos.. me and my sisters saw it as kids. my life makes sense now
thanks to you kennie, i now exclusively refer to strange things as being "deeply askew" and "deeply disorienting" lmao
I watch this movie every year for nostalgia but I love watching people tear it apart
that rant was such a mood i feel like such an adult but im missing all the tea
At the beginning of this video I was like "I feel so bad for the kids who had to see such an awful movie" and then halfway through I got whiplashed back into time by the image of the rat king and realized I was that child and I was scared
the morning person but not a morning person rant is a straight up MOOD
Kenny the "black child" is the Little Drummer Boy 🤣
I definitely watched this as a young child when putting up ornaments on our Christmas tree. Somehow, my brain found this traumatizing enough to suppress theses memories till I watched this video. Now I'm wondering if I wanted those memories back... either way, great bad movies and a beat to end the year with.
I actually watched it twice as a kid... Once in theatre with my family and later on TV. Explains a lot with how i turned out. I remember being terrified of the rat king and his transformation. Thank you for unlocking my suppressed memories
This really put me in the Christmas spirit, thank you
spirit cabinet more like😵😏🥃🍾cheers😂🤣
Omg SAME about the morning person and early bedtime thing. I miss having late night gaming sessions or just getting up to random shit during holiday or weekend times and it’s ridiculous that I wake up at stupid o’clock in the morning with nothing to do because everyone’s asleep or closed 💀💀 feeling like an old person going to bed at like 8 and waking up at 5 😭
I feel somewhat attacked. Cause I understand and recognize how god awful this movie is. But I remember enjoying this as a younger person. But now I can only bring myself to watch certain parts….but never the whole thing.
A very different and much more self destructive feeling than say watching Barbie movies, which are still enjoyable to watch as an adult
I think what is so funny coming back to this a year later is realizing how if you tried to show an adult this movie for the first time it would be insanely hard to follow. But as a 7 year old child I completely understood everything happening plot wise. The stuff like nazi rats I did not grasp. But the acid trip-ness of the plot never had me confused. I always understood it
the sacrifices you make for these videos are greatly appreciated, they bring me so much joy take all the time you need to rest you deserve it
I’m so appreciative of the Trigger warning
for *Dolls without eyelids* 👁👁truly the stuff of my childhood nightmares 😌
Danny Gonzales's recent video on this reminded me of it's existence and I had to come back here and watch your review again haha this is a truly wild adaptation
Have a great holiday break time!!
Also I found myself returning to your last Christmas themed video three times this past week haha.
Please watch Flowers In the Attic.
I legitimately just came back from seeing The Nutcracker ballet and this is a trip
18:00 is where we, as a society, should've ended it all.
lol as someone that has an art degree I feel obligated to tell Kennie that I'm like 99% sure that electrocuted shark in the tank bit was just a reference to the art piece 'The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living' (yes that is the title). Since they made that one rat look like Andy Warhol I think they were just referencing other art for some reason (it's not even art done by Warhol so idk why they chose to reference it?). idk I never really got the shark in a tank art piece but I learned about it in art history so I felt I should share.
My man Tchaikovsky does NOT deserve this >:(
“masochistic connoisseur of trash” 😭😭😭 I love you
I love how kennie breaks down the nutcracker..it's so accurate.
The rat face jumpscares like... why did they decide that was okay???
Better question is, why did they decide that this movie was okay to make??
That CGI for the faces had a “put a silly goofy Snapchat filter on” type of vibe… no bueno…
omg they show this movie in my school once when I was little, thank god trauma for make me forget it
the fact i watched this movie years ago but just always assumed it was a fever dream because of how abrupt the plot is
Her talking about nutcracker being a musical
Me who always thought nutcracker was only a barbie movie: 👁️👄👁️
when you said their grandfather or whatever was albert fucking einstein i thought it was meant to be a comment about how similar the actor is and suddenly i’m forced into the horrible realization that it, in fact, is albert einstein solely based of the fact he’s signing about relativity and e = mc2. i’m crying and shaking.
