Marie Stahlbaum is a minor but important character in The Nutcracker and the Four Realms. She was the wife of Benjamim Stahlbaum and the mother of their three children, Louise, Clara and Fritz Stahlbaum. Marie was an inventor who brought the toys she owned to life and created the Four Realms. It is shown in that Marie was a warm and caring individual due to being remembered fondly by her subjects, children, husband and godfather Uncle Drosslemeyer.
Trivia[]
- In the book, Marie is the name of the main heroine. It was changed for this movie and the ballet.
- Her daughter Clara is based on Marie from the book. This stems from the fact that in some adaptations of The Nutcracker, Marie is called Clara in several performances and movies such as Clara from The Nutcracker Prince and the version from Barbie in the Nutcracker. Instead, Marie and Clara are two separate characters who coexist in the film.
