rescued …

24. … it is Christmas Eve
at the Stahlbaum house.
The Stahlbaums are hosting
their annual Christmas party
welcoming the arrival
of their friends.

25. Godfather Drosselmeyer arrives. Although his gift to
Fritz is quite nice, he gives Clara a beautiful Nutcracker.

26. As the evening grows late, the
guests depart and the Stahlbaum
family retires for the
evening. Clara, worried about
her beloved Nutcracker, sneaks
back to the tree to check on him,
falling asleep with him in her
arms.

27. As the clock strikes midnight strange things begin to happen.
The room fills with an army of mice, led by the fierce Mouse
King.

30. As the Nutcracker awakens, he leads his army of
toy soldiers into battle with the mice.

33. The mice are defeated and the
Nutcracker turns into a Prince
and takes Clara on a journey to
the Land of Snow, an
enchanted forest
wonderland where they are
welcomed by dancing
snowflakes.

36. The Prince escorts Clara to the Land of Sweets where
they are greeted by the Fairy and our little chocolate
girl that has become the Sugar Plum Fairy.

37. The Sugar Plum Fairy takes them
inside the Candy Castle and
throws a lavish festival. They are
treated like royalty and presented
with every imaginable sweet.
Shortly thereafter, the dancing
begins.

38. Hot coco dances to the lively music of
the Spanish fandango.

39. The women of coffee dance in veils to
an Arabian song

40. Mandarin tea dances to an exotic
Asian flute chorus.

41. Matroishkas (Russian dolls) follow the Mandarin
tea leaping and dancing to an invigorating
Russian Trepak.

42. The Mirliton dance

43. As a finale, Clara and the Nutcracker
dance a beautiful Pas De Deux.
