Sex & Nudity

  • None. Clara simply kisses Hans-Peter (who was once the Nutcracker) in relief on the forehead when he revives after the Battle with the Mice (she had assumed him dead). Unlike later revivals of this production, Clara and Hans-Peter do not seem to be really in love here, just good friends, and there is not nearly as strong an implication in this 1985 version (as there is in the 2001 and 2009 Royal Ballet versions of it) that they will end up together in real life.

Violence & Gore

  • None, except the usual battle with the mice. The moment in which the toys have fun scaring Clara, which was part of the 2001 and 2009 Royal Ballet versions, is not included in this one.

Profanity

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Although this has no dialogue, Clara (in pantomime) is terrified by the attacking mice and (again in pantomime) cries hysterically until the toys rise up to defend her. She does not get hysterical in the 2001 and 2009 Royal Ballet versions, both of which are direct remakes of this one, although they are not an exact duplicate of it (some of the choreography is different).
