Arthur Christmas is an absolute joyride

Date :- 24/01/2012

Rating :- 4/5

What works :-

  • The innovative  concept of the mantle of Santa Claus being passed on as a familial heritage is something that has never been explored before.
  • Excellent voice cast.
  • The humour is marvelous. Genuine roll-in-the-aisle stuff for kids & adults alike.
  • The animation is breathtaking in the flight sequences & I personally liked the fact that the animators have maintained the conventional “cartoony” look.

What doesn’t :-

  • Although the film is thoroughly enjoyable it does not give any memorable character to take back with you in the veins of let’s say a Carl Fredricksen, or a Shrek or a Buzz Lightyear

Final Word :- Don’t miss this wondorous sleigh ride, it’s bound to delight the kid in you
