Review: 8/10 Quite good
This classic fairytale inspired by Tchaikovsky ballet is quite interesting. I love the curiosity of Clara. The fact that there are more black characters (Jayden Fowora-Knight and Morgan Freeman and the dancer) during this last decade, not only in this movie, but also in others is something quite interesting and I appreciate that.
Love is not portrayed as the most important thing in the world either, which is something I really appreciate too, specially in a Disney princess movie . The Sugarplum Fairy turns out to be bad, which is something I must recognise I did not expect. However, there are some cliché parts in the movie, like for example when Clara arrives and she is destined to save the kingdom, she is treated like a princess and all that, it was a little bit too sweet, but it’s okay since it is a movie for children. However, one thing I did expect was the content of the music box. I knew it since the beggining and that was cliché but I kinda like it anyway.
Finally, the dressing were pretty cool, the soundtrack was magnificent but the best thing about this movie is definitely the setting and the aesthetic, specially at the beggining. Awesome.

An upper class girl, Tracy, (Grace Kelly) living in a fancy mansion is planning her wedding with a perfect man, George, (John Lund) after breaking up with another man not so perfect, Dexter, (Bing Crosby) who had previously cheated on her and that was the reason why trey broke up. A middle class man, Macauley, (Frank Sinatra), who is kind of a journalist, comes to film the lifestyle of upper class people.
In the end, Tracy ends up cheating on George with Macauley after getting drunk and realizes that she is still in love with Dexter. She ends up marrying him. All of this between a lot of games and confusion created to entertain the public.
Review
The characters were quite charismatic. Again, the clothes Kelly wore were stunning. The situations were quite funny. The scene with the boat was one of my favourite parts
, so magical
