Barbie in the Nutcracker is a 2001 animated fantasy film co-produced by Mainframe Entertainment and Mattel Entertainment, and distributed by Artisan Home Entertainment.
Loosely adapted from E. T. A. Hoffmann's 1816 short story, "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King",[4] and featuring music based from Tchaikovsky's 1892 ballet, The Nutcracker, it marked the character's first film since the 1987 television specials; Barbie and the Rockers: Out of This World and Barbie and the Sensations: Rockin' Back to Earth, with Kelly Sheridan providing the voice of Barbie.[5] It was also the first Barbie movie to be computer-animated.
Barbie in the Nutcracker premiered on VHS on October 2, 2001, by Artisan, followed up with a DVD release a few weeks later on October 23.[2] before being subsequently released overseas through Entertainment Rights and Universal Pictures Video. The film sold more than 3.4million units on DVD by 2002,[6] and grossed $150 million in total sales.[7] It won the Video Premiere Award for Best Animated Video Premiere Movie.[8]
