Arthur Christmas
U; Animation

Rating: **** (Four)

At 97 minutes, Aardman Animation's Arthur Christmas is a rollicking fun adventure, and is refreshingly shorter than most other tent pole animated features that run well over two hours.

This CGI gem is as delightful as a children's book that one wants to read aloud over and over again. It isn't classic storytelling by any stretch, but it's the best one I've seen in quite a while.
