      "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...

    • Grandsanta: [At the tractor dealership in Idaho, Arthur is trying to remove a golden reindeer from the 'Leaping Deer Autos' sign] Bash it with a brick, Arthur! Go on!

      Arthur: [Struggling to remove the reindeer on top of the roof] It just won't...

      Bryony: I may just be a wrapping operative, sir, but this contravenes seventeen specific mission regulations!

      Grandsanta: I'm in charge here, not Billy the Bureaucrat!

      Arthur: [Almost removing the reindeer] It's stuck!

      Grandsanta: [to Bryony] Elf! Wrap your head!

      Grandsanta: [to Arthur] Come on, lad, you're as much use as a cheese chopstick!

      Arthur: Got it! Oh NO!

      [Gasps as he realises that the sign is only one side of a reindeer]

      Grandsanta: Oh my big old Betty, it'll have to do. Pass it down!

      Bryony: [whimpering] Permission to breathe! I have about nine seconds left before I black out!

      Grandsanta: One breath.

      Bryony: [Seeing the lights in the tractor dealership owner's house switch on] Sir!

      Grandsanta: [to Bryony] I said one!

      [to Arthur]

      Grandsanta: Hurry up, Arthur!

      Arthur: But don't we need a whole one to balance the sleigh?

      Grandsanta: Oh, it won't balance the sleigh! If anything it'll slow us down.

      Arthur: So why are we taking it?

      Grandsanta: It's for Gwen! Eight beautiful reindeer! That's what she's dreaming of! The jingly bells, the sleigh on the roof. That's what the kids want, not some spaceship!

      Grandsanta: [to Bryony] What now?

      Bryony: [She whimpers through the wrapping and opens it] We have a waker, sir!

    • Arthur: [the sleigh is flying across Toronto and traverses a curved building; people inside see it] They can see us!

      Grandsanta: Well, pull the camouflage lever!

      Grandsanta: [Arthur pulls the wrong lever and the sleigh transforms into something that looks like a steam locomotive] That's a steam train, you ninny!

    • Steve: [Steve gets a phone call on his Ho-Ho, it wakes him up] Hello? What elf?

      Peter: Bryony, the crazy wrapping elf! Security tagged her to I.T and we think Arthur was there!

      Steve: Arthur?

      Peter: Who else leaves the door open?

      Steve: The old sleigh barn? That was sealed up decades ago. After that terrible night, Grandsanta sneaked out and... Thank goodness he's too old these days to get into trouble
