This movie reveals the incredible, never-before seen answer to every child's question: "So how does Santa deliver all those presents in one night?" The answer: Santa's (Jim Broadbent's) exhilarating, ultra-high-tech operation hidden beneath the North Pole. But at the center of this movie is a story about a family in a state of comic dysfunction and an unlikely hero, Arthur (James McAvoy), with an urgent mission that must be completed before Christmas morning dawns.

One of the most legitimately funny Christmas movies I’ve seen. All the others rely on awkwardness or slapstick, while this is a joke-a-thon.

A wonderful and contemporary approach to the traditional Christmas tale.

Great cast and decent story but—the fate of so many family movies—it gets a bit lost in the second half.
Arthur

My rating of this movie is mainly because this was the first movie I ever saw on the big screen. It's a good christmas movie on its own too.

Funny for kids and adults. Not at all sickly sweet but has a genuine feel good factor.

I like animations but this one is more for kids rather than all audiences.
