Arthur Christmas.
One missing present matters.
Santa's high-tech delivery operation overlooks a single child. His awkward younger son Arthur sets off with an old sleigh and an unlikely crew to deliver the present before morning.
View film information ↗Why it’s a little special
An inventive Christmas adventure that keeps one child's happiness at its center. Arthur's kindness is more impressive than the impressive gadgets.
BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY
Know the story.
Know your little people.
Dangerous flights, animal encounters and family arguments. Some mild rude humor; the story treats Santa and his operation as real.
Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
