Think you've seen it all when it comes to Christmas movies? You haven't seen anything like 'Arthur Christmas.' Arthur Claus (James McAvoy) is the youngest son of Santa Claus (Jim Broadbent), and he's...well...he's a bit of a bumbling idiot (in a super nice way). Arthur's brother, Steve Claus (Hugh Laurie), is the family golden boy, and he's set to take over Santa's reigns (so to speak) if and when the Jolly One opts to retire. Arthur's stuck in the North Pole mail room. But when he realizes that Santa's super duper high-tech present delivery system accidentally missed a child, he sets out to become a Christmas morning hero - with a little help from Grandsanta (Bill Nighy).
'Arthur Christmas' was one of the best-reviewed films of 2011, garnering a more than 90% favorable rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes' 'Tomatometer.' Unfortunately, the great reviews didn't translate into box office success in U.S. theaters: Since it's release, 'Arthur Christmas' has grossed about $47 million domestically. The movie fared much better in foreign markets (including the UK), taking in around $90 million. 'Arthur Christmas' also received a Golden Globe nomination for best animated film.
If you are totally into great family and/or comedy movies, check out these lists for the best quotes from 'The Muppets,' 'Hugo,' 'Jack and Jill,' 'Tower Heist,' 'Puss in Boots,' 'The Rum Diary' and 'Happy Feet Two.'

Better Job
BUY @ amazon
Santa: "Here's to me doing an even better job next year."
Grandsanta: "That turkey did more than him, ha ha HA!" (Fake teeth pop out)
Grandsanta doesn't think too highly about his son, Santa's bragging. Can you blame him? Things are pretty easy for Santa now, what with the whole command center and all. - 7Up 1Down 0
Unwrapped Present
BUY @ amazon
Bryony: "No one gets an unwrapped present on my watch!"
Bryony is the elf you want when it's Christmas Eve and you can't for the life of you wrap presents quickly and efficiently. - 8Up 1Down 0
Impossible
BUY @ amazon
Grandsanta: "Arthur, there is a way."
Arthur: "It's impossible."
Grandsanta: "They used to say it was impossible to teach women to read. Follow me."
Grandsanta (voiced wonderfully by Bill Nighy) is slipping just a bit. He clings to the old ways, apparently has little respect for women and is determined to help Arthur save Christmas for the little girl who was missed by Santa during his Christmas run. - 9Up 3Down 3
Waking Up the North Pole
BUY @ amazon
Arthur: "A child's been missed?"
Steve: "You want to wake up the whole North Pole?"
Arthur: "Good idea: A CHILD'S BEEN MISSED!!!!"
Arthur's understandably freaked out when he realizes that not only has a child been missed by Santa - but it's Gwen, the sweet, inquisitive young girl who wrote Santa such an eloquent letter. - 10Up 2Down 2
Operation Santa Claus
BUY @ amazon
Steve Claus: "Operation Santa Claus is coming to town!"
Steve Claus is Santa's eldest son, and he's the head honcho in charge, pretty much. He runs Santa's command center with military precision, but he seems to have lost the Christmas spirit along the way. -
