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.
