My expectations for this movie weren't high going in but the film's original story line, character development and sweet message put a smile on my face. In an overly tired genre that's full of talking dogs and D-lust celebrities this family movie stands above the crowd.

I saw this movie by accident and immediately went out and bought it. One of the best Christmas movies I've seen and a plot that sounds like a tired cliche but manages to be refreshing and hilarious! All the actors are on point, the animation is beautiful and not one scene is wasted. A must watch if you love Christmas movies, family movies or just Aardman studio productions as they haven't steered me wrong yet!

Fantastic!!

Wow, is all I can say. This really was one of the best movies I’ve seen let alone a Christmas one. We were thrilled while watching it, thoroughly entertained and inspired and moved at times. A surprisingly very heartfelt movie .This brought tears to my eyes! ABSOLUTELY MUST WATCH with the family.

Bad plot

Super boring! All it's about is giving one kid a gift. It's good that they don't forget about the kid but does there have to be a whole movie about that?!

Wowwww!!!

I rented this movie for my kids. I had heard from a friend's husband that it was really good, but my friend said he likes all kid movies. Furthermore, I thought the previews/trailers for this movie were very lame, and I had no desire to see it, other than to entertain my kids. BIG SURPRISE! It is wonderful! Great animation, humor, plot. Not predictable in the least. And last but not least, very poignant.
We own it now, play it for family movie nights with grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Most holiday movies are so cliché and sappy; this movie is fresh, but still holds true to the spirit of Christmas.
WATCH IT!

Arthur Christmas is a great movie for all ages! It is touching how Santa (but in this case Arthur) cares about everyone and makes sure that everyone gets their present for Christmas. I love this movie very much and recommend it to everyone!

I love Xmas and I love how they made this movie! They gave Santa and brand new twist with modern humor and modern terms for the new generation kids but still kept the Magic of Christmas in the movie! I just love it!
This is probably one of the best movie I have seen all year!!!!! It's a must watch!

A new Christmas movie standard!

I was so pleasantly surprised to find an alternative to children's holiday films that was not only entertaining, but touching and poignant without being sappy. This is a real treat for the whole family, and unlike other animated fare of the same variety, I think this is movie showed some real grown up tendencies, but wasn't preachy. I love the theme of family unity and the whole "spirit of christmas", and the joy one can obtain by giving and not just getting. I highly recommend this film for anyone, with kids, without kids, grown ups and grown up kids. A really cool movie and the animation is flawless and keeps you glued to the picture without too much over the top gimmicks. Feels a little like an old classic even though its innovative and new. Watch it.

Great family movie

Arthur Christmas is an excellent film. The movie at a basic level is great for kids, but the beauty of the movie is in the details. This movie is so detailed, from props to facial expressions.
An excellent animated film.

Great movie.

Great to rent, good enough to buy. Far from horrible as a parent to sit through. Certainly worth a rent if nothing else.

Unnecessary and skippable

An entirely unnecessary and skippable movie. Nothing is outright terrible, but nothing stands out. What bits have energy lack enthusiasm or joy; what bits are comical lack humor; what bits are sentimental lack heart. It doesn't offend, it just… exists. Please don't waste your money. Spend it on Pixar or the stupid-but-entertaining Chris Meledandri instead.

Adorable!

Aardman Animation continues their winning streak of charming, clever, and imaginative animated films with "Arthur Christmas", a delightful holiday treat that the whole family will enjoy. It's the story of Santa's youngest son Arthur, who discovers that one of the presents his father was supposed to deliver has been missed. So with the help of a retired Grandsanta and a rebellious young elf, Arthur makes it his mission to bring the final gift to the child who deserves it before Christmas morning. What makes "Arthur Christmas" such a massively enjoyable movie isn't just the fact that its story is told from the heart, but its broad humor also succeeds by appealing to viewers of every age. From the visually inventive sight gags to the dry British wit, both kids and their parents can find something to laugh at. Another great thing this film does is give its main characters depth. Santa Claus isn't exactly the holly, jolly man we all think he is. Now that Christmas has moved into the 21st century, his role of hand-delivering gifts to the children of the world has been replaced by a crack team of operative elves who leave presents under the tree without ever making a sound. As a result, Santa has become a sad shell of his former self, eventually deciding to pass down the title of St. Nick to his oldest son Steve. It seems like everybody has forgotten about the true meaning of Christmas except for Arthur, whose eternal love of the holiday makes his mission that much more climactic and significant. At the end of the day, "Arthur Christmas" is easily one of the best holiday films I've seen in a very long time. With its amazing voice work, colorful animation, diverse characters, engaging humor, and surprising emotional strength, this is one animated family movie that's worth seeing at least once. The only downside I can think of is that it comes with a music video for Justin Bieber's cover of "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town", but you can always fast-forward through that part.
