“Arthur Christmas” takes the viewer on an imaginative ride to the North Pole and beyond! It features great production values and a talented cast. This movie makes the point that Christmas is a season about giving and it does so in style!
The “mission” is to make sure that Christmas goes off without a hitch and that every child receives a present. We have Grandsanta, who is retired, Malcolm, the current Santa Claus, and his two sons Steve and Arthur. Steve expects to be the next Santa as he is the one who makes sure the mission each year is completed efficiently and on time.
When it is learned that a young girl in England, Gwen, didn’t receive her gift, a bicycle which she claims will “prove” to her friend that Santa really exists, it is up to Santa to make sure she gets it before Christmas morning. But which Santa will it be? Grandsanta, Malcolm, Steve and Arthur all become involved but it is Arthur who is the catalyst and who has the “heart” for young Gwen, and who refuses to allow her to be discouraged by not receiving a gift Christmas morning.
The 3D is spectacular, the jokes are plentiful and the animation jumps off the screen in vivid action. Enjoy several fun characters, especially Arthur. ‘Tis the season to be Arthur, er…jolly. See “Arthur Christmas” with your family and celebrate the spirit of Christmas this holiday season. We are pleased to award our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal to this movie and for all ages to boot.
