Jerry and his nephew Tuffy watch the Christmas ballet in New York City. At the same time, a group of cats, including Tom, sing a song for the Cat King in an alley overlooking the Empire State Building. Jerry goes to the empty stage floor where magic begins to happen around him, where toys like a pony named Nelly, a pixie named Paulie and the Ballerina in the music box come to life.A Nutcracker Tale 2007
The stage transforms into a wintry wonderland where the toys all enjoy a dinner feast. Tom and the other cats ruin the feast and trap the toys while Jerry, Paulie and Nelly try to stop them but are shot out of a cannon. As the Captain of the Cat Guards, Tom traps the Ballerina in a cage then brings her to the Cat King, who unsuccessfully asks her to dance for him. Later on, Tom is called to gather other cats and stop Jerry, while Tuffy gives the Ballerina a string attached to a ring of keys before going to warn Jerry and stop the cats. Meanwhile, Jerry, Paulie and Nelly decide to follow a star to an older man called the Toy Maker. Along the way, Jerry falls through some ice before being revived, freed and pulled up by Nelly and Paulie, which makes Paulie unravel by melting the glue that keeps him together. Tuffy gets to Tom and dresses up as an angel and a devil to convince him not to harm Jerry, but accidentally reveals himself when he ends up sticking the trident in Tom’s eye, causing the tower of cats to fall off of a cliff. Tuffy goes to Jerry to warn him of the cats. The cats attack, but Jerry and the rest of the group escape inside a tree. The group then comes to a hill where Paulie’s head is sent flying into another hole. They go into the hole and discover a fiery world with lava pits and dragons; a flame fairy gives Paulie his head back. A dragon wakes up but is hypnotized by Jerry into lifting them out of the pit.
