Arthur Christmas (2011) 7/10

Starring : James McAvoy, Jim Broadbent, Bill Nighy, Hugh Laurie
Director : Sarah Smith & Barry Cook
Running Time : 98 mins

When Santa (Broadbent) forgets to deliver a bicycle on Christmas Eve to a young girl, his eldest son Steve (Laurie) considers it to be an acceptable error considering how many children did get their presents, but Santa’s youngest son Arthur (McAvoy) takes it upon himself to deliver the gift personally by asking Grand-Santa (Nighy) to borrow his old sleigh.

This is a very cute movie that is perfect for Christmas day family viewing. The cast of well-known British actors do a perfect job of preventing this from being just another Christmas movie, and the animation is fresh and a joy to watch. The story itself is pretty basic, but it’s feel-good nature is something that both little kids and adults will enjoy.
