Review of Arthur Christmas
Base of operations is of course the North Pole, hidden from snooping GPS devices under a sufficient depth of ice. Delivery is accomplished by an army of elves in camo, carrying scanners that register the appropriate reading on the naughty-to-nice scale. It's all very efficient and beautifully organized, but there is (of course) a glitch. One gift is left behind, and the urgent mission to deliver it on Christmas Eve is what really makes the film a heart-warmer.
“Arthur Christmas” was produced in a collaboration of British and American talent, but it's a British movie; little Gwen Hines, the child who is in danger of being 'left behind' on the Christmas delivery list, lives in an English village and the voices are exclusively Brit – but that seems to be a plus for most American viewers.
