• Based on the fairy tale "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" (1816) by E.T.A. Hoffmann (1776-1822).
• While preparing for her role, Helen Mirren learned how to deliver whip cracks with a loud snap.
• Lasse Hallström completed the main filming period, after which, due to a number of reasons, he became occupied, and Joe Johnston took over reshoots of individual scenes over 32 days. Hallström returned to the project during post-production. As a result of these circumstances, both were credited as directors.
• At the beginning of the number that tells the story of the four kingdoms, a conductor appears on stage and begins to conduct, while the orchestra is represented only by silhouettes of musicians. This is a reference to Walt Disney's animated film 'Fantasia' (1940), which featured a similar segment based on the suite from 'The Nutcracker' (ballet by P.I. Tchaikovsky, 1892).
• Filming took place in England from October 2016 to January 2017.
