      "Gift sleigh reindeer Christmas grandpa is the real Christmas~"

      Super warm and beautiful Christmas story.
      Although it is a traditional animation where the guy who is reckless is the male lead, "I have to say that my brother is a fierce man with triangular muscles, and he doesn't look like a good face."
      The battle between the spaceship and the elves at the beginning is really high-tech, although the reindeer and the old sleigh behind are the protagonists. Um, the pack elves are super cute. Grandpa brought too many laughs hahaha. The global...

      sony picture one of the best animated movies

      After watching the carnage, I needed to relax a little bit, so I turned into the next hall and opened the door to show the song and dance show of Xiao Jia. Hehe, he declined to comment.

      It’s quite a Coke animation. It comes up as a scene where a bunch of elves descend from the sky distributing gifts, drenched in the light of impossible mission 4 in the same period. The main line of the story is that the current Santa Claus has two sons. The big one is like an American captain, the...

      Idiot save the world

      The god-like gift-giving scene is quite creative. Santa Claus is just a leader, acting like shoveling the last shovel on the groundbreaking ceremony. A command hall like a launch center, gift delivery like special forces, leadership posing like an imperial driver, and crisis handling like a bomb disposal unit.
          Several Santa Clauses appearing in the film:
          Grandpa: A traditional sleigh supporter. Due to modernization, he has become out of balance and has become a spitter who...

      Find the kid who used to be Arthur

      The words written in a place called the University a few years ago are re-extracted and regarded as an inscription:

            I never dare to face the word reality, I think it is very heavy, very heavy, the Minoan Labyrinth in Crete, Jinbi Wrapped in bleak, the so-called brilliance is only a moment of confusion, and life is almost like this:
         like the connection of many moments, when we are young, we might as well live for some moments, do not care whether a painting can be read or...

    Movie plot

    In the remote North Pole, Santa’s eldest son Steve is developing and designing high-tech transport equipment-the Christmas spacecraft, and a group of elf scouts undergoing strict military training. They work overtime day and night to train. There is only one purpose: to deliver Christmas gifts. It is precisely because of them that Santa Claus can deliver gifts to every child on time and without leakage. But this Christmas, Santa Claus...

    "Arthur Christmas" lacks Adelman's typical features in its character design, and its writing seems to be more relaxed. The Santa Claus family and cute elves all appeared, lively and cute, and the atmosphere of Christmas comes to your face. (Timeline Review) 
    "Arthur Christmas" is full of fun and amazing animation effects. It is one of the few modern Christmas movies with Santa Claus as the theme. (Forbes Chinese Internet...

    Movie quotes

    • Arthur: [In Cayo Confites, Cuba, Arthur picks up Gwen's letter that almost got burnt because Bryony accidentally put it in a fire at the beach and realizes the picture is of Santa] This Picture, This Drawing! It isn't of Dad, or You, or Steve! This is Santa! Ha-Ha! And as long as we can get the bike to Gwen before dawn, then Santa CAME! AND HE CARES! Ha-Ha!

      Arthur: [the Reindeer picks up the Slipper, Arthur picks up the bike and starts singing and dancing] Jingle Bells! Jingle Bells! Jingle all the way! Oh what fun it is to reach Gwen Hines on Christmas Day, Wha-Hey!

      [the Boat on the island has been taken away by Arthur and he has written a message in the sand where it used to sit saying "SORRY I BORROWED THIS]

      Arthur: [the next scene where Arthur is rowing Grandsanta & Bryony across the Atlantic Ocean, 3000 miles to Trelew, England] Jingle Bells! This Boat Smells! Three Thousand miles to go!

      Grandsanta: [Arthur, Grandsanta & Bryony are in the middle of the Atlantic] I've seen this before! Sleigh fever they call it! The Pressure of Christmas sends a man doo-lellied-tap! Santa Claus XVI of 1802! Every child that year got a sausage nailed to a piece of bark!

      Bryony: [Arthur labours to row the boat across the ocean, he makes the boat jerk and soaks Bryony & Grandsanta with the oars] Arthur! Do you really think you can row the Atlantic Ocean in the next

      Bryony: [Calculates the time on her HO-HO] Thirty-seven minutes?

      Arthur: [Continues labouring to row across the Atlantic Ocean] It's not too late yet! We just have to keep going!

      Grandsanta: We need a blunt Instrument, knock him out and then regroup

      Bryony: [Bryony's HO-HO claims that they are going round in circles] You do know that we are going round in circles?

      Grandsanta: Do you know? We are not the only ones! Maybe I will see Evie again!

      Arthur: What do you mean?

      Grandsanta: Reindeer are brave, powerful beasts, but they are also dappled creatures with twigs on their heads! They will just keep going in straight lines right around the world. They will be way up in the sky, flying at unimaginable speeds, but they'll pass right over our heads!

      Arthur: Great! We CAN get the sleigh back!

    • Arthur: [Using the flashlights on his Christmas slippers to read the letter from Gwen Hines after discovering that the missed present was the bike for her] It just can't be. It can't. It just can't be. It can't. It j-j-j-just CAN'T BE!

      Grandsanta: [Overhearing the commotion] What's all this kadoodle, young man?

      Arthur: Grandsanta. It-It's this little girl. She's been missed!

      Grandsanta: Ha! So much for your brother's fancy-pants technology!

      Arthur: And Steve and Dad racked their brains but they said it's impossible!

      Grandsanta: Is it now? Missed a child. Dear, oh dear, sends shivers down me shins.

      Arthur: In two hours, she is gonna wake up, tear downstairs, search under the tree, and... the look on her face... .But there's nothing there. She won't understand. She'll think she's the one kid in the whole world that Santa doesn't care about. She'll feel... so left out.

      [He straightens the picture on the wall and switches on the fairy lights]

      Arthur: On Christmas night, he comes! Gwen can't not have a present from Santa!

      Grandsanta: Do you know, Arthur, there is a way.

      Arthur: It's impossible.

      Grandsanta: They used to say it was impossible to teach women to read. Follow me.

    • Arthur: Why are we taking this reindeer? It isn't a real one! It's a fake!

      Grandsanta: It is for Gwen! Eight beautiful reindeer! Isn't that what she is dreaming of? The jingly bells, The Sleigh on the roof! Not some kind of spaceship! We are supposed to be giving her the star treatment!

      [to Bryony]

      Grandsanta: What is the matter now?

      Bryony: [the owner of Leaping Dear Autos investigates what is going on] We have a waker, Sir!
