What they share

Both films are directed by Joe Johnston, and they sit in Family / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Pagemaster, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Nutcracker and the Four Realms is

London, Christmas Eve, a music box. A girl enters a fantastical world, four realms collide, toys come to life. It is a film to watch with the family on a cold winter night.
