Arthur Christmas (2011)
EVER WONDER HOW 2 BILLION PRESENTS GET DELIVERED ALL IN 1 NIGHT?
“Each Christmas, Santa and his vast army of highly trained elves produce gifts and distribute them around the world in one night. However, when one of 600 million children to receive a gift from Santa on Christmas Eve is missed, it is deemed ‘acceptable’ to all but one—Arthur. Arthur Claus is Santa’s misfit son who executes an unauthorised rookie mission to get the last present half way around the globe before dawn on Christmas morning.”
Directed by Sarah Smith, co-directed by Barry Cook, and starring James McAvoy, Hugh Laurie, Bill Nighy, Jim Broadbent, Imelda Staunton, Ashley Jensen, and Marc Wootton. Written by Peter Baynham and Sarah Smith, edited by John Carnochan and James Cooper, score composed by Harry Gregson-Williams, and produced by Peter Baynham, Peter Lord, David Sproxton, Carla Shelley, Cheryl Abood, and Steve Pegram.
