Notes:
A family in a state of comic dysfunction and an unlikely hero: Santa's youngest son, Arthur. When this amazing operation misses one child out of hundreds of millions, Arthur, the least capable Claus, embarks on a mission against the clock with his politically incorrect grandfather Grandsanta and a gift wrapping-obsessed elf named Bryony, to deliver the last present before Christmas morning dawns.
Animated Comedy - This is a holiday themed 3D animated comedy aimed at the entire family
featuring a voice cast of well-known British actors. This film is
safe for children of all ages and features some witty gags and
dialogue for adults.
USA TodayFull Review Good There's no shortage of yuletide movies this time of year, but Arthur Christmas is somehow hip and square enough to stand out among them.
Washington PostFull Review Good It's also unexpectedly fresh, despite the familiar-sounding premise.

Imagine a city under a starlit sky. It's Christmas Eve, and the children are
nestled in their beds, dreaming of Santa on his sleigh pulled by eight beautiful
reindeer. Suddenly, a shadow comes over the city. A million pinpricks of light.
A million figures descend. The invasion has begun and there's not a jingle bell
to be heard…
…but don't panic. This is how Santa gets the job done every Christmas: with a
huge, mile-wide, state-of-the-art sleigh with stealth cloaking technology, and a
million elves, working in precision teams of three, who have 18.14 seconds to
get into each house, deliver the presents, and move on to the next one.
Santa Claus is coming to town, but this time, he's not coming down the
chimney.
