I never created Nutcracker: The Motion Picture.

One scowl formed on Herr Drosselmeyer's face as soon as a rat appeared near Fritz's bedroom. The reason for his current expression?
Herr Drosselmeyer viewed Clara's wide eyes. He wrapped his arms around her. ''Godfathers always protect their godchildren,'' he said.
Herr Drosselmeyer started to smile slowly.

''You're not protecting Fritz. He's in his bedroom,'' Clara said as she frowned.

Herr Drosselmeyer's eye flew open for a few moments.

After Herr Drosselmeyer and Clara ran into the bedroom, they viewed another rat near crumbs.

Fritz smiled. ''A pet,'' he said.

Herr Drosselmeyer started to wrap his arms around Fritz. He placed his godchildren behind him. He watched as the other rat appeared.
''You ate treats in your bedroom again?'' he asked Fritz.

One shrug from Fritz.

Herr Drosselmeyer scowled near the rats. He cried out when one of them bit his hand. Herr Drosselmeyer viewed them departing.

''Godfather Drosselmeyer!'' the children exclaimed with worry in their eyes.

The corner of Herr Drosselmeyer's mouth wobbled as he attempted to smile. ''I'll be fine.'' Herr Drosselmeyer turned to one corner before his eye widened again. Scowling another time, he turned to Fritz while a different rat ate another treat.

Fritz shrugged again.
