“I’m just delighted that the brilliant craftsmanship, hard work and dedication of the team who made ‘Arthur Christmas’ has been honoured by these nominations. We hope the movie gives Christmas pleasure!”said director and co-writer Sarah Smith when reached at her home in London. The 3D, CG-animated family comedy Arthur Christmas at last 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 exhilarating, ultra-high-tech operation hidden beneath the North Pole. But at the heart of the film is a story with the ingredients of a Christmas classic – a family in a state of comic dysfunction and an unlikely hero: Santa’s youngest son, Arthur. When this amazing operation misses one child out of hundreds of millions, Arthur, the least capable Claus, embarks on a hilarious, exciting rogue mission against the clock with his politically incorrect grandfather Grandsanta and a giftwrapping-obsessed elf named Bryony, to deliver the last present before Christmas morning dawns.
