How many words in Nutcracker

*HH- HomeschoolHelper

We really enjoyed watching Barbie in The Nutcracker.

Now that we will be reading the original story, we can compare the two.

This will be a good time, as with any other Disney movie, to tell of the importance of reading the original fairy tales instead of taking Disney at its word.

Nothing wrong with the Disney movie, but I think the kids should at least have the chance of hearing or reading the stories the way the author has written them.

Here are More Nutcracker Movies for you to choose from.
