fun fact: the reason rat king is sometimes depicted as having multiple heads is because, in real life, there is a phenomenon where up to 30 rats all get their tails stuck together. if they can't get unstuck, they just live like that. this is called a rat king.
@@geraltofrivia7456 it got it's name as a term used to describe people in power, using those below them for profit. it was later used after this phenomenon was discovered, and the character was named after it.
The Nutcracker is my favorite Christmas tradition, has been since I was 5. I will never forget how thrilled I was when the Rat King jumped out in front of my Kindergarten class years ago. He was always my favorite character, and it's not officially Christmas until I have seen the rats gang up on the soldiers.
At first the enormous tree in the background moves in such a strange way that it makes me think it is some many-eyed eldritch abomination towering over the petty quibbles of mice and men
The Nutcracker in his soldier form is pretty good at kicking butt with the 🐀 King. He isn't alone despite the fact that he has plenty of toy soldiers there to assist him. Clara isn't a perfect fit for an evil rodent monarch. She's only a perfect fit for the Nutcracker soldier who also becomes a 🤴🏻 who's glad that a little 👧🏻 saved him from an army of 🐀s. 👍🏻 if you're afraid of this scene until 😈 is defeated.
Me I hate this scene but I love it too and I am deadly scared of all these mouses!!!! Just imagine I was in the backstage ready to go and start my act and them mouses come out of the stage ! Ohg!!!! Ps:I am a bailarina, but not provisional because I am still 11 years old !
The dancer playing the rat king is uncoordinated and lacks poise. The mouse soldiers are lazy and don't scurry. They dance like old women. Doesn't anyone know who to dance as a mouse anymore? It must be a lost art. These guys look like they are warming up at the bar not dancing on stage.
It’s insane to think Tupac did this and played as the mouse. I have never actually seen this before but it is properly PROPERLY fucking bent …. And I was ashamed of playing the tim whistle at school. I feel better now. I definitely would of refused to do this even through threat of violence 😕😕😕
Those rat costumes especially lower part, without the head they all look like some dark princes it compliments their figure SO WELL
Thank you! It's all in the details. :-)

I think that phenomenon got it's name from this story...

Who was playing the Rat King? Legitimately curious as to the performer's name.
