There is also an artificial garden, no nuance missed the snow that blanketed. But all that was not complete if it is not Christmas-themed movie. This year, Hollywood presents ‘Arthur Christmas‘. Packaged as an animated comedy that match watched by the whole family, by director Sarah Smith is about a family of a Santa who must face the changing times.

In a tale that is told from generation to generation, Santa Claus is a divisor gifts to children on Christmas Eve. It comes with a sleigh pulled by reindeer that can fly with the help of magic dust. Her presence was never known. Children will only find gift under the Christmas tree when they wake up in the morning, in accordance with their request.

The film opened in a village in England, when a little girl sent a letter to Santa, asking the eternal question: whether Santa Claus really exists or only a fairy tale. In the letter, he also asked for a gift of pink tricycle. From here we expect to get a sad movie, perhaps even somber, full of compassion and clear.

But, ‘Arthur Christmas’ is a movie that was fun, imaginative and adventurous. Letter of the little girl had brought us to a family of Santa Claus at the North Pole. Perhaps, indeed this is where Santa Claus comes. But do not imagine a row of wooden carts with deer. The Santa Claus (Jim Braodbent), together with his two sons, Steve (Hugh Laurie) and Arthur (James McAvoy) run the “operating” with his high-tech.

From the North Pole, Santa’s Family membagian gifts to the 2 billion children worldwide with the aircraft, and with the support of thousands of dwarves they carry out their duties in a single night. Must be ascertained, no child left behind does not get the prize. However, his name is also the technology, the error, the cause of the sometimes trivial, always happens.

Once, one prize missing, and it’s not another girl who sent a letter from a village in England earlier. Furor occurred in the Arctic. One child will cry for no gifts under the Christmas tree in the morning. The dwarves questioned, but Santa Claus tried to squash the issue, and decided to assume the mission had been successful as usual. Only one child. From 2 billion. What does it mean?

However, the error “small” it continues to interfere with the dwarves. However, the most troubled real Arthur, because he who has been reading and answering letters from children demand all over the world. So Arthur had insisted, must menyusulkan yan one gift left behind it. But, how? Steve’s brother, in charge of Operation Santa Claus, felt it was not possible. The night is almost gone, Christmas was only a few hours.

How Arthur against the policies of his father and brother, and tried to send a gift that was left behind, become the main pillar of the plot of this film. The grandfather, who is Santa Claus in the days before the father Athur, understand the anxiety of his grandson, and came to give an answer. The only way is to remove the carriage return and the deer wood pullers, who had long retired at the warehouse.

The journey is not easy, but it also does not make them give up, give this film a silly element of adventure, fun, funny but also sad. However, in general, the tone of this film want to take the children have fun. As a Christmas spectacle for the whole family, ‘Arthur Christmas‘ has been quite entertaining.
