This adaptation of the Nutcracker story (by Tchaikovsky and original choreography by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov) is updated in this stop-motion animation from the original Japanese release of 1979. The new 3-D rendering is complemented by the art direction of Sebastian Masuda who is responsible for much of Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's style. She also provides music here.
During her world tour, a rumor spreads that Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is not a human, but really a robot. When she returns to Japan, she goes on a journey to discover her real identity.
