Arthur Christmas
Arthur Christmas was Aardman’s highly ambitious second CGI animated feature film. Featuring the voices of James McAvoy, Hugh Laurie, Bill Nighy, Jim Broadbent, Imelda Staunton, and Ashley Jensen, the film was a co-production between Sony Pictures Entertainment and Aardman Animations.
How CAN Santa deliver billions of presents to the whole world in just one night? With an army of one million combat-style Field Elves and a vast, state-of-the-art control centre under the ice of the North Pole! So how could this incredible mission have MISSED one child?! To Santa’s young son, Arthur, it threatens to end the magic of Christmas. With retired Grandsanta, a rebellious elf, and old sleigh and some untrained reindeer, Arthur sets out on a crazy mission to deliver the last present.
