Compared with the splendor and enthusiasm of the first two, "Snowflake Kingdom" is an elegant dream of the ultimate simplicity. Days Inn draws on the style of German villages and the famous Swedish ice hotel to create a crystal clear town, and the transportation also uses an elk sleigh in an ingenious way, highlighting the fairy tale color. Finally, the Fourth Kingdom, ruled by the villain Queen Jiang Mu, is mysterious and strange. The giant dolls with strange smiles on their faces and the dead woods twisted like monster claws are all creepy but curious.

The Nutcracker and the Four Realms quotes

  • Shiver: [shows Clara Marie's old throne room] This is your mother's throne, Your Grace.

    Sugar Plum: Have you come to save us, Clara?

    Clara: No.

    [the regents look disappointed]

    Clara: I'm sorry. I didn't even know this place existed before today. You see, I was looking for a Christmas present from my godfather.

    Hawthorne: [delighted] Oh, I love Christmas!

    [to Sugar Plum and Shiver; lost]

    Hawthorne: What's Christmas?

    Clara: Then I ran into this homeless mouse.

    Shiver: [concerned] Mouse?

    Clara: And that's when I met the captain.

    Philip: [enters the throne room] We barely escaped Mother Ginger. And the Mouse King.

    Sugar Plum: [gasps] You met Mother Ginger? Oh my dear Clara, you're lucky to be alive!

    Hawthorne: You must promise never to go back to the Land of Amusements, Clara.

    Sugar Plum: [frustrated] Hawthorne!

    Shiver: [also frustrated] Its title has been restricted.

    Hawthorne: Oh, of course. I meant the Fourth Realm.

    [to Sugar Plum and Shiver]

    Hawthorne: Apologies. I'm just so upset.

    [to Clara]

    Hawthorne: Forget I ever mentioned the Land of Amusements.

    [Sugar Plum and Shiver silence him]

  • Sugar Plum: [to Clara] The ballet tells the story of the Four Realms. How your mother discovered our world.
