Arthur Christmas

Arthur Christmas is a 2011 British-American 3D computer-animated fantasy film and was the first Sony Pictures Animation film co-produced with Aardman Animations. Directed by Sarah Smith and co-directed by Barry Cook, the film stars the voices of James McAvoy, Hugh Laurie, Bill Nighy, Jim Broadbent, Imelda Staunton, and Ashley Jensen. It is also the second entirely-computer animated Aardman feature film after 2006’s Flushed Away.
Set on Christmas night, the film tells a story about Arthur Claus, the clumsy but goodhearted son of Father Christmas, who discovers that Santa's high-tech ship has failed to deliver one girl's present. In response, he embarks on a mission to save her Christmas, accompanied only by his free-spirited and reckless grandfather, a rebellious yet enthusiastic young Christmas elf obsessed with wrapping gifts for children, and a team of eight strong, magical yet untrained reindeer.
Arthur Christmas was released on 11 November 2011, in the United Kingdom, and on 23 November 2011, in the United States. The film received highly positive reviews from critics but earned $147 million at the box office on a budget of $100 million, making it a box office disappointment.
