The Nutcracker and the Four Realms is a 2018 American fantasy adventure film directed by Lasse Hallström and Joe Johnston and written by Ashleigh Powell and Tom McCarthy. It is a retelling of E. T. A. Hoffmann's short story "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" and Marius Petipa's The Nutcracker Ballet, about a young girl who finds a Nutcracker doll among the family's gifts and is charged by her parents to take special care of it. The film stars Keira Knightley, Mackenzie Foy, Eugenio Derbez, Matthew Macfadyen, Richard E. Grant, Misty Copeland, Helen Mirren, and Morgan Freeman.

The film was announced in March 2016 with Hallström directing a script by Powell. Much of the cast signed on that summer, and filming began in October at Pinewood Studios, lasting through January 2017. In December 2017, it was announced Joe Johnston would direct a month of reshoots written by Tom McCarthy, with both men eventually receiving co-credits for directing and screenplay, respectively.

The Nutcracker and the Four Realms premiered in Los Angeles on October 29, 2018, and is scheduled to be released by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures in the United States on November 2, 2018, in Real D 3D and Dolby Cinema.

The new frontier of Disney's shameless progressism. The protagonist is a brilliant girl who is an inventor, who is kind and morally perfect but also determined, who can fight and whose mother was like a goddess.
The Nutcracker is a shiny black guy, filled with virtues. Drosselmeyer is also black, and a positive character too. The Mouse King turned into a Queen of Mice, and the antagonist is yet another female.
All caucasian males have minor-to-farcical roles, with the exception of Clara's father for strict genetical necessity.

This was dreadful. I enjoy Keira Knightley in movies so I was looking forward to seeing her in this but she was terrible. All I could think of is that she saw the performance Michelle Williams gave in I Feel Pretty and decided for her role she was going to mimic that performance, albeit terribly. One of the worst of the year for sure.
