~ Clara confronting the Mouse King

The Mouse King (formerly known as the Mouse Prince) is the main antagonist of the 1990 Canadian animated holiday film The Nutcracker Prince. He's the evil and tyrannical ruler of all the mice, who plots to seek revenge on the Nutcracker for accidentally causing an injury to his tail, and to take over the Land of the Dolls with a powerful army, an iron fist and under his cruel and tyrannical command.

He's the also the archenemy of Hans and Clara and the son of the deceased Mouse Queen.

He was voiced by the late Mike MacDonald.

Personality[]

At the beginning of Drosselmeyer's story, the Mouse Prince is shown to be spoiled, impatient and capricious in order to get what he wants and like his mother, he hates humans. He's extremely aggressive and being able to antiquate whoever who interferes to his mother's plans, as it's shown when he swear to 'slice in two' to both Drosselmeyer and Hans, much to his mother's annoyance. However, it's demonstrated that he shows fear to his own mother, due the way she treats him and hitting him constantly very badly, in which drives him into his darker side when he betrays her mother after proclaiming himself as the new King of mice and then demonstrates his true nature by his hate for his mother as he scoffs her and her 'stupid' spells, implying that in some point of the film that he always hated his own mother for the way as she mistreated him all these years. Also, he becomes vengeful, decided to seek revenge of Hans (now turned into a Nutcracker) to slays him once and for all once he gets him in his hands, before running away laughing maniacally.

At the present until near the end of the film, he appears more darker than his original personality from the past, he becomes more power-hungry, villainous, intimidating, cruel, merciless and more evil, although he conserves his dim-witted and spoiled behavior, however, her it's revealed that his truly intentions is that once he slay the Nutcracker and his revenge is ultimately fulfilled, he would conquer the Land of the Dolls and all their inhabitants, demonstrating how tyrannical, sadistic and evil-mean spirited he can be and he would be decided to kill anyone who interferes in his plans, as it was shown when he was about to hurt Pantaloon from kill the Nutcracker, although he doesn't do it, he knocks him by the way.

He's also to be pompous and arrogant, as shown when Clara tried to beg to not hurt Nutcracker, he ignored her pleads and has no compassion and shows to have no concern for anyone but himself. It's also shown that he can be threatening, as demonstrated when he threatens to attack Pavlova if Clara doesn't give the Nutcracker to him in order to get his revenge on him. However, it seems that the Mouse King can show his compassionate and melancholiac side, as it shown when he mourns the loss of her mother before his betrayal to her.

Despite being ruthless, egotistical, mean-spirited and destructive, his 'defeat' in the hands of the Nutcracker and blinded by his revenge upon him, finally send him over the edge. In his psychotic rage to have a last chance of revenge, he pursues Clara and becoming more savage, psychotic and homicidal than ever.

Biography[]

Early Life[]

It's unknown about the Mouse King's original early life, but it's implied that along his mother the Mouse Queen and the other mice of his clan, had terrified many humans and also helping his mother to plotting to take control to the kingdom. Despite that, his mother always mistreated and intimidated him almost always, treating him more like a servant than her own son and it was so many years of abuse that he suffered because of her dominant mother, that led him to his dark villainy.

The Nutcracker Prince[]

Save your breath old man, Y' know what he did. Well, look at this. It hurts. He'll pay for this, cause' I'm the Mouse King, me! And I'm gonna build a mighty army and no one'll stop me! NO ONE! And if you think your beloved nephew, Hans is ugly now... HA! Wait till I turn into a pile of splinters! (laughs maniacally)
~ The Mouse King swearing his revenge upon Hans

The Mouse Prince makes his first appearance in the past along with her mother.

When he was still a mouse prince, he along with his mother, the Mouse Queen and the mouse clan stole some blue cheesecake from the queen who planned to make some for her king. The furious king demanded to do something about it, which resulted in Hans and his uncle to capture all the mice. However, only the prince himself along with his mother remained uncaught. In fury, the Mouse Queen with her son headed to Perlipat's chambers and while the prince watched, Perlipat was given the curse.

Mouse King Happy

Feeling being finally free from his dominant mother, the Mouse Prince proclamates himself as the new ruler of the mice, before scoff her own mother for all the mistreat she gave to him.

Later, after a discovery for a cure was found in the Krakatuth Nut, the mice watched as many princes, whom were told not to wear boots due to the spell having to have a man who never wore boots, try and fail. The queen herself was proud as she scolded and abused her son due to the prince not believing her spell will last long. Then, a miracle happened as Hans himself tried and successfully cracked the nut, curing the princess. In rage, the queen sought to use what would be her last spell, cursing Hans and transforming him into a nutcracker. However, during the ruckus, she is killed while the prince himself had his tail crushed. Shocked about his tail permanently bent and his mother gone, he took the crown himself, declaring himself the Mouse King and (after Drosselmeyer with the newly transformed nutcracker were banished) vowed revenge on the Nutcracker himself.

Why so happy by gdenofa

The Mouse King appears in Clara's House while laughs maniacally.

In the present, he first makes his appearance after Clara (after she finishes dancing and singing with her doll) when his army appeared and the kitten Pavlova chased after them. However, the king himself scared Pavlova as he made himself known with his army cheering him on. When the Nutcracker awoke himself (along with the other toys), he with his army attacked and just when he looks like he would win, Clara throws her shoe at him, resulting him in getting his cape and tail burned while Clara gets knocked out for the rest of the night.

The next night, the Mouse King arrives back, bitter about what Clara did, even though he gave Clara her slipper back. He rambles on about taking out the Nutcracker in front of her before Clara tricked him into taking chocolates of hers before he gets trapped in the drawer. He gets freed, though Clara refuses to give her nutcracker to him, prompting him to take Pavlova instead. Fortunately for him, she gives in just as the Nutcracker begins waking up and they duel.

Mouse King's Death

The Mouse King falling to his death.

Though he seems more victorious, the Mouse King is finally stabbed by the Nutcracker on top of the tree, falling from it and seemingly dead. Later, however, as Clara and the toys with her go to the Land of the Dolls, he awakens, frightening Pavlova. Then, in the Land of the Dolls, the Mouse King, in a psychotic rage, tries to take one last chance of revenge, despite being in critical struggling condition. Finally, just as he is about to finish off Clara, he falls off the top of the balcony and drowns in the lake below.

Trivia[]

  • In the flashback sequence, the Mouse King looked more like what would it be if Warner Bros. animated him, but in the actual story, he looks more like a typical Disney or Don Bluth villain due to the actual story's realistic settings. Warner Bros. distributed the movie.
  • The Mouse King looks more like a rat rather than a mouse due to his overweight appearance and long tail as real-life mice have relativity small bodies.
    • Ironically, in the film, during her conversation with her brother Fritz, Clara refers to the Mouse King as looking like a rat.
  • In this version of the story, The Mouse King has only one head like all the mice from the film, and one crown on it, while in the original story, he has seven heads with seven crowns each one.
    • Another difference between his original incarnation of the story and his animated counterpart, in the original story, he's ultimately killed by the protagonist during their battle, but in the animated film, he's stabbed by the Nutcracker, but seconds later he 'revives' and chase after the Nutcracker, Clara, Marie, Trudy, and Pantaloon to the Land of the Dolls and while the toys (including the Nutcracker) were becoming in their immobile state, he appears in front of Clara and starts chasing her until he corner her in the Toy Castle's balcony to deliver a final blow on her until he succumbs to his wounds and falls to the moat below and drowns.
    • Also, unlike the original story, the revenge upon the Nutcracker was to avenge her mother's death, while in the animated film, he swears revenge upon Hans by 'accidentally' crushing his tail, aside from avenging his mother's death.
  • Like some characters from the film, he is one of the few villains who has two forms of his animated version (be it the past and present forms).
  • It is implied, since his mother's demise and after proclaiming himself as King and scoffing at her and her spells, that the Mouse King always hated his mother for the way she treated him for all these years and he 'indirectly' taught her a lesson.
  • His voice actor, Mike MacDonald, also has done the voice of Lifeguard in the cartoon show Ren & Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon and Rip in The Ripping Friends, being the Mouse King one of his first villainous roles.
