The Nutcracker Prince - A Gem From My Childhood!

When I was a young boy (we'll say 4 or 5) my parents didn't have a lot of money, also known as "we were poor"... I can recall they used to buy "bootleg movies" off this guy in Chilliwack who eventually got caught and I think went to prison for it...

BUT ANYWAYS! To deal with the fact that my parents didn't have a lot of money and they had two kids they bought movies off this guy. They were really cheap and had 3 movies on a tape, one of those movies was THE NUTCRACKER PRINCE, a gorgeous little animated feature that I adored.

I present to you (in YouTube Format) the entire movie split into 7 parts, I think you should sit down and have a watch, it's truly wonderful. This movie was the first movie to make me cry and it was because of the use of Tchaikovsky's music. The piece used to score the ending scenes Pas de Deux: Intrada is one of the greatest things I've ever listened to and always will be, it's like a 3 act structured story put into a song it breaks my heart!

But, without further adieu, submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society, I give you:
