I must say that Arthur Christmas is the sweetest Christmas movie I have seen in such a long time. Part of the fun in this movie is trying to figure out who all the voices are. We have the charming James McAvoy as Arthur. Then we have Jim Broadbent as Santa, Hugh Laurie as Steve, Bill Nighy as Grand Santa and Ashley Jensen as Bryony. Now that we know our cast, let's get right into our movie.
The movie is about Arthur, the younger son of the current Santa. In the movie we find out that the job of Santa is passed down from father to eldest son. The current Santa has been doing the job for 70 Christmases and it is now Steve's turn to take over. Steve is a military style Santa who has the Elves set up like Marines. Our darling Arthur works in the letters room and it is his job to answer children's letters to Santa. Arthur is filled with so much love and joy about Santa and Christmas. He still believes in the magic of Christmas and sees every letter as important.
So our movie really begins after Santa has finished delivering all his gifts. Everyone goes to sleep and then it is found out that a child has been missed. Santa and Steve figure that there is no way to get to her in time so they better just send it later. When Arthur finds out he is heartbroken. The thought of one child being missed is too painful for him. He does not want a little girl to lose the magic of Christmas. So Arthur enlists the help of Grand Santa and Bryony the wrapping elf to get the little girl her gift.
So the epic tale of this movie is can Arthur, Grand Santa, and Bryony get to Gwen the little girl in time? The movie has such a great lesson on how everyone is important. If one person is forgotten then you are not doing your part. The movie is so sweet and Arthur is so innocent and charming, you can't help but love him. I really enjoyed the movie because it was purely genuine and about how important everyone is. We can not forget about our fellow men and we have to kept magic alive.
The movie is a MUST SEE for kids this holiday season. It is great for the whole family and there are no inappropriate jokes. It is pure sweet innocent fun for the whole family on Christmas. It will get you in the spirit and it is beyond funny and sweet. Please go see it because it is adorable.
