Arthur Christmas
This Christmas, Aardman will sleigh you
Plot
The reigning Santa Claus (Broadbent) is reaching the end of his service, with his super-efficient but joyless son Steven (Laurie) ready to take over. But the future of the position of head of Christmas looks less certain when a child is left without a present and the only person prepared to put things right is his hapless brother, Arthur (McAvoy).
Verdict
A great, big joy. Even if you’re a bit bah humbug, just delight in the supremely clever Aardman comedy.
