There's also another revamp of the traditional story - this time by Disney. "The Nutcracker and the Four Realms" is the story of a girl who has to venture through different realms of a parallel universe to find a key that will hopefully restore harmony to an unstable world. The movie hits theaters Nov. 2.
Val and Ryan caught up with Joffrey Ballet's Cara Marie Gary and Fernando Duarte to get a dance lesson and talk about the new production.
