Dancers fabulous as usual, but unfortunately the original full length ballet has been severely cut, (to 78 minutes, for goodness sake) missing out a great many of the set pieces and therefore not showing to its best advantage. The missing scenes are wonderful to watch. I did have the full version originally and wish I could obtain it again.

An attempt to make a story film for children. I have broken the DVD and thrown it out with the other American Ballet DVD with the rest of the houshold rubbish so nobody else gets mislead on what this great ballet should be. I am sure that some of the other productions on sale will appeal to all from age 3 to 110. The ballet plots by themselves are nothing unless the emphasis is on a great performance! Any magic there was has been lost by gimmiks in filming and props.

Basically I would think this is for Nutcracker nuts only. Its great but comes in the middle somewhere of all the ones Ive seen. It was filmed for TV and I think things are best when it is filmed with a live audience in a theatre. Thats just my thought. How ever at the start you see Barishnykovs fantastic skill in Slow motion, a pre highlight before the start and performing his jumps with the greatest of ease effortless. What he must have been like when he was excelling himself must have been out ...
