Arthur Christmas is a great Christmas film that delivers action, laughs & a ton of heart. While the premise is simple, the well-written dialogue makes up for it, even if the start is a tad childish. There are plenty of jokes & references that will entertain adults, with themes of perserverance & doing what's right for the right reasons that are relevant for all ages. Making the central conflict, the family disfunction, due to ego was clever. The animation is good & the voice acting is excellent.

Surprisingly fun. Really liked the world building. Surprised there wasn't a sequel but it looks like it didn't do great at the box office. Wasn't a fan of the ending, but that didn't wreck it.

Rewatch. Never heard of it until I found it at a Wal-Mart $2 bin in 2018 but it's become a family staple. I liked that the brother wasn't a stereotypical villain. The wackiness and the world-building made up for its shortcoming of not much going on in the background for rewatches, which happens to most non-Pixar animated movies. Fav scenes: Arthur leaving a series of doors open down a long hallway and it comes up again with a polar bear getting into the barn and facing down an elf.

There is something almost hilariously fascistic about how Santa and his little ubermensch elves run around in their little outfits like stormtroopers fast roping into people's homes to deliver gifts. This is essentially a tale about royalty and succession. Arthur is the goofy little bitch son who isn't worthy to be the Santa heir whereas the brother is the favored stud prince with the flavor taster christmas goatee. The brother's goatee is the most disturbing thing in an animated film.

It's very funny and fast-paced, and it has a a clever interpretation of the Santa myth, but it also has problematic gender roles and a racist joke involving an Indian elf in the IT department, and for those reasons I would feel uncomfortable showing this movie to any kids.

Christmas movies have been a bit lacking the last few years. Think this one has earned a place in the perennials along with the first two Die Hards and Gremlins.

A unique take on the Santa story that cleverly contorts it into the realm of realism; the high-tech vs. old school, productivity vs. personal touch themes that arise from this fun setting make the premise even more engaging (and hilarious; Nighy's "back in my day" Grandsanta is a riot). A simple adventure plot is constructed from here with more than enough wacky humour and slapstick to keep you smiling, and with fairly nuanced family character studies thrown in to add some heart too.

Arthur is the perfect lead for a Christmas film: joyful, innocent, and goofy with a touch of sensitivity and determination. He carries the film into above-average Christmas fare with support from his hilarious English grandpa.
