Well, that brings our trip today to a close. These attractions continually have some of the longest lines during the Christmas season and help with crowd control in a way that no show would be able to do. This idea is purely conjecture, but I believe that a large part of the lack of Christmas shows was the emergence of holiday overlays like it’s a small world holiday and Haunted Mansion Holiday. After the show, the Videopolis Theater never saw another Christmas show (though the Fantasyland Theater did), instead keeping to shows based off of Pocahontas, Snow White and more. Mickey’s Nutcracker only lasted two Christmas seasons before calling it quits. I know that I would have tried to catch it at least once a holiday season while it was there. Other than those two parts, I thought the show was pretty normal, but still provided a lot of Christmas spirit. The show also came out around when Roger Rabbit did, so he made an appearance and even got his own song, so you have to give the show a bit of extra credit for that. The Rat King’s song was also a borderline rock opera, which didn’t really fit at all, but somehow fit perfectly at the same time.
It was super simple, but at the same time, a very Disney move. Having no real background with the story, I really liked the idea of a Rat King whose only poison was sweets. The show was definitely on the cornier side, but I really enjoyed that aspect of it. Now, in terms of the actual content of Mickey’s Nutcracker, the show takes most of its cues from the ballet, The Nutcracker, as one might expect.

Very few Disney shows, especially recently, have gotten a full showing on television, so the fact that this show did showcases its uniqueness.

The most interesting part of this attraction was that it actually got a full TV special in 1991 where a recorded version of the show was broadcast live (which is what the clips above are from). They tend not to be as flashy as the mainstream shows, but I’m here to tell you that there is still a lot to love about them.īelow, you’ll find the video of Mickey’s Nutcracker in all of its glory. Unfortunately, there is very little information about the creation of this show or any of the other shows that I’ll discuss today, as the holidays shows are not frequently talked about in the park’s history. At the time, there were no overlays in the park, so this show added a little boost that helped the park’s holiday spirit feel more all-encompassing. Mickey’s Nutcracker made its home in the Videopolis Theater in 19.
