Story Plot

In Germany Clara's family are celebrating on Christmas Eve, 1850, and Clara and Fritz are running home through the snowy town after reminding Uncle Drosselmeier of the party. Clara is jealous that her older sister, Louise, has a boyfriend, leaving her feeling sad and wondering about growing up, to say nothing of struggling to enjoy the party. She immediately cheers up when the eccentric Uncle Drosselmeier arrives in spectacular fashion at their home with special gifts: a fully automated toy castle for everyone, and a Nutcracker for Clara. Upon Drosselmeier's giving her the Nutcracker, Clara's little brother Fritz breaks it while playing with his toy soldiers. Clara is heartbroken, but Drosselmeier promises to fix it for her. To cheer Clara up, Drosselmeier tells her a story about how the Nutcracker came to be the Prince of the Dolls.
