Arthur Christmas

Arthur Christmas

You know Christmas is just around the corner when the first festive themed movie hits the big screen - and this is exactly what has happened this week with Arthur Christmas.

We can all get into the festive swing a few weeks early as Aardman Animations has teamed up with Sony Pictures for the latest 3D animation adventure.

This has been a movie that I have been looking forward to for some time - yes I am a bit of a sucker for anything Christmas related at this time of year; and why not?

Anyway Sarah Smith is in the director's chair for a movie that looks set to be fun for all the family.

James McAvoy is lending his voice to an animation movie for the second time this year as he leads the cast as Arthur.

He is joined by Jim Broadbent, Ashley Jensen, Hugh Laurie, Bill Nighty and Imelda Staunton.

Arthur Christmas reveals the incredible, never-before seen answer to every child's question: 'So how does Santa deliver all those presents in one night?'

The answer: Santa's exhilarating, ultra-high-tech operation hidden beneath the North Pole.

But at the heart of the film is a story with the ingredients of a Christmas classic - a family in a state of comic dysfunction and an unlikely hero, Arthur, with an urgent mission that must be completed before Christmas morning dawns.

Arthur Christmas is released 11th November.
