Madoka and the Nutcracker Witch

One thing that I love about Madoka is how it borrows a lot of elements from various forms of literature. And so when I saw the trailer for "The Nutcracker and the Four Realms", I immediately wanted to use it to highlight the references that the anime (specifically the 3rd movie) makes to the ballet. Homura's witch form is officially known as "Homulilly : The Nutcracker witch", and has minions that are all based on the Nutcracker. And while editing this, I found even more references that I wasn't able to notice while simply watching the anime.

But anyway, I hope you enjoy it. I rushed this a bit to have it ready by the end of Christmas (pacific time), but I'm still pretty pleased with how everything turned out. I wanted to make a cool logo for the trailer, but I decided to scrap that idea for time. I may tweak a few things for the AMV Contest version though.
