Amy Biancolli
It's as bright and twinkling as a Christmas tree, decked with warmth and humor.
Bruce Diones
It's busy but buoyant, and it honors the tradition of giving with wit and style.
Peter Rainer
The action is swift and witty, and the 3-D effects are imaginative and not simply tacked on as with so many animated movies these days.
Rene Rodriguez
The movie fails utterly at coming up with a story that merits all the eye candy.
James Berardinelli
With a clever script that successfully updates many Christmas myths and dialogue that crackles with sophisticated wit, this movie offers the kind of pre-holiday experience that parents and children alike will appreciate.
Kathleen Murphy
Everything you see in Arthur Christmas is fashioned in the service of telling a story ... brilliantly

The results are not only funny and fresh, but represent a new way of tackling the whole yuletide paradigm: Santa as a high-tech hereditary monarchy.

Surprisingly Good I watched this very cute movie with my kids and not only were they entertained I was too. This movie was excellent in my opinion. The story line was great and they brought the old Santa and the new one together with their before and after gadgets and I thought that was so creative. Watch this with your kids, not only will they love it, you will too!
Great movie This is a very fun movie. My family loved it!
