Since PBS has evidently switched to an all doo wop format, I've gotten hooked on Ovation TV's Battle of the Nutcrackers. Have you voted? Did you choose modern and funny or classic and Russian? I don't want to influence you but yes, that IS a "Bolshoi 07" bumper sticker on my car.
And while it pains me that the Baryshnikov-Kirkland performance isn't included while the Macaulay Culkin movie is, this is still a fun programming idea right? "'It will be better than the Yule log,' Kris Slava, senior vice president for programming and production at Ovation." Well I wouldn't go that far. Or maybe I would. "If the Battle of the Nutcrackers goes as planned, Mr. Slava said, he hopes to pit this year’s winner against some other famous performances, perhaps including those by Baryshnikov and Nureyev. He would not promise to include Barbie’s 2001 animated version."

We owned the Barbie version. As far as those things go, it wasn't terrible. I've seen worse (Thomas and the Magic Railroad).
(I'm working on the meme - it's hard being clever!)
I really can't wait to read your answers. It took me over a month. I think I went back and read the instructions every single day and still I struggled.
"It wasn't terrible" is reason enough Ovation should include the Barbie version. It'd be hilarious.
