Character

The Mouse King's Army are characters in Barbie in the Nutcracker.

Story[]

The first time the guards appear is in Clara's living room, where they ate cookies. Clara wakes up and sees one eating food off of her table so she shoos him away and he falls due to her arms knocking him off the table.

When Clara and the Nutcracker appear in Parthenia, guards began to pursue them, but someone threw them a rope ladder, and the guards were defeated. After that, the Mouse King transformed two of the guards into bookends as punishment for having failed to kidnap the Nutcracker and Clara.

When the Nutcracker, Major Mint, and Captain Candy were captured, Clara went to the rescue. In the corridor, she stumbled on two mice guards and she deceived them into believing that the would be houseflies for the rest of their lives if they did not go to the courtyard immediately because it was the Mouse King's orders. Of course it was a lie and she only told it to get into the room where the Nutcracker and his friends were trapped so she could save them but the guards were so dumb that they believed the lie.

Physical Appearance[]

The Mouse King's soldiers are, giant mice. However, unlike him, they do not dress in royal finery. Their uniform consists of a beige tunic worn over a brown shirt. They wear brown cross belts, black gloves and silver helmets. They are usually armed with gold spears and shields depicting a red lion. The two soldiers that guard the King have a slightly different uniform, they have purple shirts with blue sleeves (as well as gold sergeant signs on the sleeves), gold helmets and blue pants.

Their medieval uniforms are considerably different to the Victorian-esque outfits worn by the only other two soldiers, Major Mint and Captain Candy. This could suggest that either the Mouse King gave them a new uniform or they were just part of a different regiment before the takeover.

The Mouse's soldiers appear to be quite dumb in some scenes, but that does not make them less of a threat. There are a lot of them, and they are quite large and bulky in contrast to the locals. They seem to have free reign of Parthenia when they aren't on duty, being left to take their food supply from the now-abandoned Gingerbread Village.

However, the Mouse King doesn't tolerate failure from his guards. If they get something wrong, he has no issues with turning them into whatever he feels like whether it's a statue, a lawn ornament, paperweight or a bookend. The Mouse King's guards' duties include accompanying him into Clara's parlor, guarding his castle and patrolling the kingdom in search of troublemakers, notably the Nutcracker.

Trivia[]

  • The soldiers are the only mice shown in the movie, in fact there aren't any female mice or villager mice.
