Movie Info:
Arthur Christmas is a 2011 British/American 3-D computer animated fantasy comedy film produced by Aardman Animations and Sony Pictures Animation, and distributed by Columbia Pictures. It was released on November 11, 2011, in the UK, and on November 23, 2011, in the USA. The film was directed by Sarah Smith, and it features voices of James McAvoy, Hugh Laurie, Jim Broadbent, Bill Nighy, Imelda Staunton and Ashley Jensen. Set on the North Pole, the plot tells about Santa's son Arthur Christmas, who must complete a mission before Christmas morning. Arthur Christmas was first announced in 2007, under the name Operation Rudolph. It was the first film made by Aardman in partnership with Sony Pictures Entertainment and its subsidiaries. Aardman and Sony Pictures Animation spent 18 months on pre-production on the story and design in the U.K. before relocating to Sony's Culver City, US, for another 18 months of production. On April 27, 2009, it was reported that the production has begun with Aardman and Sony Pictures Imageworks working together on animation. Early reviews of Arthur Christmas have been overwhelmingly positive, with the film having a 94% "Fresh" rating on critic aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes based on 90 reviews. John Anderson from Newsday praised the film, saying "The results are not only fresh, but represent a new way of tackling the whole yuletide paradigm: Santa as a high-tech hereditary monarchy." Michael O'Sullivan also wrote a positive review, saying that it is "Unexpectedly fresh, despite the familiar-sounding premise.

Every year Santa brings gifts to some 600 million kids, and all within a single night. To accomplish this feat he has a small army of elves, and a sleigh-shaped airship called the S1. The commando elves descend upon towns and deliver goodies to the kiddies proportionate to their level of "good" while the big guy Santa (voiced by Jim Broadbent) is simply a figurehead. Son Steve (Hugh Laurie) heads all operations and is fully expecting to be crowned the next Santa, but when a girl is skipped over it's the heir's spare the titular Arthur Christmas (James McAvoy) who makes it his mission to deliver the last present. The Christmas film genre has something of a subgenre concerning the explanation of how Santa works his magic. There's usually a play on the traditional. Maybe Santa has a technologically modified suit, or in this case he's fitted with a beret. Many times the sleigh has rockets, but here it's interesting how the folklore sleigh has been decommissioned. First time director Sarah Smith holds things together, and in 3D. The trouble is there isn't much new to see. The British Santa is different from the norm, but once gramps and Arthur start their sleigh ride the movie gets highly repetitive. They land in the wrong place, elves exclaim that a kid was skipped, effort is made to level emotions, and they set off yet again. There's a madcap dash to get the bike to the girl at the end, culminating in an ill-advised wrapping of the bike while Arthur rides it through town in a race with the sun. How jaded am I that this doesn't strike me as high thrills? This is a movie about a super-sonic sleigh ride through the sky, but even within the right context there are things that simply don't add up. For instance, the elves can do all the work yet for no explained reason Santa has to deliver one of the gifts within a given town in order for them to move on to the next. There's also way too much fuss made over Santa being spotted, which should happen from time to time if he wants to keep getting credit...
