neutral · AI labelView post →Finished our yearly movie marathon we do on Christmas each year. We had the wackiest assortment and whiplash of Die Hard, Arthur Christmas, Love Actually, and the first SpongeBob movie!
neutral · AI labelView post →If you think about it, Arthur Christmas is an action movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →I think my pick would be Arthur Christmas (2009), Aardman’s second CG film
neutral · AI labelView post →Hot take: Arthur Christmas is a Christmas movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Also, if you want a Christmas set film about a crack military unit who fly in secretly to perform night missions using high technology in remote locations, undetected, ‘Arthur Christmas’ is a Christmas movie.

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched the movie Flushed Away, because we enjoyed Arthur Christmas enough to give CGI Aardman Animation a shot. It's trapped halfway between Aardman quirk and Dreamworks "end with a dance party" studio notes. The best animation is when it pretends to be stop motion. An artistic cul-de-sac.
neutral · AI labelView post →The following should now all be officially added to the Christmas movie canon: Klaus Arthur Christmas Robin Robin The Holdovers
neutral · AI labelView post →Arthur Christmas [clue in the name], that's a Christmas movie. A guy in a vest with his biceps out shooting the hell out of stuff is not a Christmas movie. Included snapshots in case you need more help.
neutral · AI labelView post →Christmas underway at ours with the 12th annual Christmas Eve screening of ARTHUR CHRISTMAS. The greatest Christmas film (and one of the absolute greatest) ever.
positive · AI labelView post →There is a film my Great Nephew loves called ‘Arthur Christmas’ and it’s set in the Mylor area of Cornwall -so we went to visit it to his joy!
neutral · AI labelView post →⬇️ ALL OF THIS! ⬇️ Sincerely, Another Arthur Christmas Fan P.S. It’s my all-time favorite Christmas film.
positive · AI labelView post →Arthur Christmas is another CGI movie by Aardman and one without the trademark look, as it was their first post-DreamWorks film. Arthur (James McAvoy) is a son of Santa (Jim Broadbent) and when the unthinkable happens, its up to Arthur to make sure every kid gets their present before Christmas.
neutral · AI labelView post →Arthur Christmas is a underrated gem of a movie, is funny especially the Latin Spanish dub, boy that movie is hilarious in Spanish #christmas #movie #standwithanimation
positive · AI labelView post →11 years of watching the Blu-ray of ARTHUR CHRISTMAS every holiday means it has never touched the streaming metrics which is why I have to argue that this the best Christmas film ever. Every. Single. Year.
positive · AI labelView post →Not all but a couple of mine: Flushed Away Arthur Christmas Frankenweenie Early Man The Lego Movie 2 Onward Trolls World Tour (keep in mind, this was when my theaters first reopened in July of 2020) Sponge On The Run (I live in Canada) Transformers One Elio Tron Ares

Others on my list are: Hogfather, The Snowman(1982), Scrooged, NL's Christmas Vacation, Trading Places, Arthur Christmas, Violent Night, Christmas Chronicles 1&2, Librarians and Santa's Midnight Run(s1, ep4), How the Grinch Stole Christmas(1966)
neutral · AI labelView post →Arthur Christmas is now officially THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIE EVER™️ & if you disagree I will not be spending Christmas with you. (Bit harsh I realise, but mostly a perfectly valid excuse to never spend it at my mother’s again until she can be persuaded to actually relinquish control of the kitchen.)
positive · AI labelView post →This year there is a lot of Rob Reiner in my movie watching. The Princess Bride, The American President et al. You've Got Mail is in my movie list, and of course It's A Wonderful Life which FEELS bookish. Highly recommend Arthur Christmas. #kidlitchat

Incredible stuff, they don't make animated christmas movies like that anymore [KLAUS EXCLUDED, LOVE U BIGLY] This one I recommend, incredibly hilarious, well-animated and unexpected storyline

I love how it blends in light scifi elements to the Santa mythos without losing any of the magic or wonder, and the voice cast is impeccable. Aardman is the greatest.

neutral · AI labelView post →🟠I only know about it cause I remember the trailers from when it came out but yeah and I think Arthur Christmas is some kind of animated christmas action movie? I assume your dad is also gearing up to watch Red One (2024) the one where JK Simmons is buff santa & the Rock is his helper

positive · AI labelView post →Amazon cuts off the last 30 seconds of Arthur Christmas to automatically start playing another movie which just kind of ruins the happy mood at the end of the movie. How are these companies so bad at everything?

positive · AI labelView post →Arthur Christmas is just such a good-natured movie. Not sure why we haven't watched it the last few years.
positive · AI labelView post →**Arthur Christmas** (no, not THAT Arthur) It's a computer animated film from Aardman Animations, the studio that makes Wallace & Gromit, Chicken Run, etc. I watch it at least once a year, and every time I do I laugh hysterically, I cry, and I get wrapped up in the action. And, the story has four main characters with four really good arcs.
positive · AI labelView post →And seasonally The Muppets Christmas Carol, Bernard and the Genie (search this out, excellent film) and Arthur Christmas (the children would watch this year round).

neutral · AI labelView post →Clicked on this post wondering if anyone would say Arthur Christmas. And you did! It's my top choice. Love Arthur Christmas. It's such a great Christmas film and hardly anyone's heard of it.
positive · AI labelView post →Arthur Christmas (2011) Extremely underrated Christmas movie. boxd.it/c8kdur
positive · AI labelView post →Watched Klaus (2019). Genuinely beautiful little movie. Was surprised to hear Norm Macdonald, missed him. As far as Christmas movies with big nosed brown haired boys go, it clears Arthur Christmas by ten miles. Very fun character design.
neutral · AI labelView post →My Christmas Movie Hot Take is that if ARTHUR CHRISTMAS got the same annual attention and exposure as, say, THE POLAR EXPRESS, we'd have a better world. This is a masterpiece and I will hear no arguments.
positive · AI labelView post →WAIT NO lets watch Arthur Christmas first. aka my cozy christmas movie because the characters pull an exhausting one nighter, which is my idea of cozy because i am clinically insane
