I made a thread and posted a full review of this release over in the Asia section of the site:

https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=263540

Just thought I'd throw a link to the thread here since there's a 3D release. I own the 3D 3-disc set so if anyone is interested and has any questions, just ask in either thread.

For anyone interested, I created an English subtitle file to sync with this Blu-ray 3D.

How does this work though like how does the disc integrate the subtitle file?

It doesn't. You have to rip the disc, a subject that discussion of which is against the forum rules.

Not necessarily true. Some high-end Blu-ray players (like Oppo) support the playback of external subtitle files while watching discs.

Had to grab them off a different site, but glad to have it. Thank you!

There is also an English dub on YouTube that I found after spending hours and hours translating and syncing that subtitle file.

Murphy's law. But still, good works are never in vain. You did good Daniel-san!

I couldn't get that dub to sync up, it requires a hefty 4-and-a-half-minute delay at the start to align and then quickly falls out of step.

I presume it's from the US Blu-ray and doesn't take into account the changes mentioned by Mar3o for the Japanese 3d release.

Later in the film, they cut out a huge 9-minute scene (the entire scene with the wise men is gone completely!). This is unforgivable. The scene was hilarious and wonderful to watch. Why they cut it is baffling. Equally baffling is the omission of another 8-minute scene late in the film, where Clara and Franz / Fritz watch a table full of holiday candies and treats come to life, dancing and marching across the table to a catchy pop-version of the Nutcracker music. It's one of the most memorable scenes in the film, and the animation is beautiful. What's left is only a few seconds, with most of the scene gone. The scene continues to another live-action ballet dance, and that is also cut out completely. In total, those cut scenes add up to over 21 minutes of footage. I can't even imagine the reasoning for cutting those scenes, and it's a major disappointment.

It never seems to be more than a few minutes off so it might be worth splicing in a homemade dub track to get the English cast and music. The stop motion animation should be forgiving of lip sync issues and narration can go anywhere.

Was this version of Nutcracker shot native 3D?

[BleedOrange11]

No, it’s a 2014 remaster conversion.
