Pen pals since the age of 15, Gina and Seth have created a friendship based solely on letters and snapshots they have sent to one another, although the pictures are of their better looking best friends. Now as adults, they finally get a chance to meet. Afraid to face the truth, each sends their best friend to pose as them for the first meeting. Much to their horror, the best friends fall in love, but soon the truth is revealed and all learn important life lessons about honesty and self-esteem. Barbie magically comes to life in this modern adaptation of the E.T.A. Hoffmann classic. The tale begins when Barbie, playing the role of Clara, receives a beautiful wooden Nutcracker as a gift from her favorite Aunt. That night, while Clara sleeps, the Nutcracker springs to life to ward off the evil Mouse King who has invaded Clara's parlor. She awakes and aids the Nutcracker, but the Mouse King shrinks her by casting an evil spell. DVD, standard full frame (4:3), NTSC, region 1, Dolby Digital.
