The Battle Scene

In this scene, strange things begin to happen as the clock strikes midnight. As Clara begins to shrink, the beautiful Christmas tree in the background, begins to grow taller.

At that moment the Nutcracker begins to come to life and leads his army of toy soldiers into battle against the mice. The Mouse King and the Nutcracker battle each other one on one and the Nutcracker doesn’t seem to be able to match skill of the Mouse King. As a result the Nutcracker and his army of soldiers are about to be captured by the Mouse King and his army of mice.
