The Nutcracker 3D

くるみ割り人形

Also known as Kurumi wari ningyou, 夢幻胡桃鉗, Nutcracker Fantasy 3D

This adaptation of the Nutcracker story (by Tchaikovsky and original choreography by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov) is updated in this stop-motion animation from the original Japanese release of 1979. The new 3-D rendering is complemented by the art direction of Sebastian Masuda who is responsible for much of Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's style. She also provides music here.
