Production
Care Bears Nutcracker Suite is loosely based on The Nutcracker and the Mouse King by E. T. A. Hoffmann, as well as the Nutcracker ballet by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Animation was produced by Toronto's Nelvana; South Korea's Hanho Heung-Up; Taiwan's Wang Film Productions; and the Shanghai Animation Film Studio in China. The special was presented by Neil B. Saul of The Saul Group, and produced by Nelvana in association with Canada's Global Television Network. American Greetings staff members Jack Chojnacki (of Those Characters from Clevland) and Harvey Levin (a vice-president) were credited as creative consultants. This is the only Nelvana production of a Care Bears special; the first two, The Land Without Feelings and The Freeze Machine, were produced by Atkinson Film-Arts in the early half of the 1980s. After Nutcracker Suite, Nelvana would not venture into another Care Bears project until 2004's Journey to Joke-a-lot.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“The heart of man ever finds a constant succession of passions, so that the destroying and pulling down of one proves generally to be nothing else but the production and the setting up of another.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“The myth of unlimited production brings war in its train as inevitably as clouds announce a storm.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“Perestroika basically is creating material incentives for the individual. Some of the comrades deny that, but I can’t see it any other way. In that sense human nature kinda goes backwards. It’s a step backwards. You have to realize the people weren’t quite ready for a socialist production system.”
—Gus Hall (b. 1910)
