For a limited time beginning October 5, guests visiting Disney Parks will be able to preview 12 minutes from Disney’s upcoming fantasy adventure “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms” at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts.

Based on E.T.A. Hoffmann’s classic tale, which in turn inspired the well-known “The Nutcracker” ballet, “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms” follows the journey of Clara (Mackenzie Foy), who finds herself in the mystical world of the Four Realms, home to a host of eccentric characters and surprises. The film’s stars include Keira Knightley as the Sugar Plum Fairy, Morgan Freeman as Drosselmeyer, and Helen Mirren as Mother Ginger.
