I read one where it night was a dream given by Herr Drosselmeyer (I can't think of him without the Herr), who was a wizard (I think) to get Clara interested in being one too, but in that the boy wasn't explained.
In another the nutcracker was carved by a boy, who she later meets, and I must have got some vague matchmaker vibes, because I remember thinking that no matter how much these two liked each other a girl from a rich family would never be allowed to marry a wood wright, even if he was a master of his craft. That one didn't explain Herr Drosselmeyer. Or how exactly the dream came to be.
I really can't think of one that did. But I heard recently that someone is going to film the Nutcracker as an Action-Adventure and the first thing I thought of was that it should be "Tim Burton's The Nutcracker", maybe in stop motion. I'd watch it.
