Arthur Christmas

Santa (Jim Broadbent) is on his last Christmas before retiring and everyone assumes he is going to pass the torch to his oldest son Steve (Hugh Laurie). Steve runs Christmas like a military mission leaving to Santa to do very little. His father (GrandSanta played by Bill Nighy) sits around dreaming of the good old days when Santa went around in a sled (Eve) pulled by magical reindeer. When a child is forgotten Santa's youngest son, Arthur, is the only one that is determined to fix the problem and what an adventure. Arthur is James McAvoy. Laura Linney, who strangely keeps appearing in British movies play the voice of the computer. Joan Cusack has a voice in the movie too. It was well done even if the kids got a little bored toward the end. All in all, I say: SEE IT.
