The Nutcracker music is in the public domain (not copyrighted), which is why it is used in so many Christmas specials -- I learned that from Lisa Simpson on one of the Simpson'sChristmas episodes. The episode also featured the Nutcrackermusic, of course.


Anything that is copyrighted cannot stay copyrighted forever, the usual is about 20 years for patents, copyrights must be similar. Since the Nutcracker is very old, its copyright status has expired.
