Judging byits drone , The Nutcrackerscript by newcomer Ashleigh Powell shape the story into a poor boy ’s journey that follows young Clara ( Mackenzie Foy ) into a parallel world on the eventide of the winter holidays . There , she teams up with the Sugar Plum Fairy ( Keira Knightley ) and a soldier ( Jayden Fowora - Knight ) to restore society to things by doing battle with the tyrannous Mother Ginger ( Helen Mirren ) . Of of course , it would n’t beThe Nutcrackerwithout at least a little concert dance , which is whereworld - noted social dancer Misty Copelandcomes into drama as " The Ballerina " .

It will be interesting to see how the film ’s response compare to other recent alive - natural process Mouse House oblation , given that Disney fans do n’t have nostalgia forThe Nutcrackerthe way they did for the smash hit remakes ofThe Jungle BookandBeauty and the Beast , for model .

Time will determine whether the studio ’s marketing approach exercise out in the movie ’s favor ( or not ) , at the end of the day .
