Sony have just sent us the trailer for their forthcoming festive film Arthur Christmas, which is an Aardman Animation featuring the voice talents of James McAvoy, Imelda Staunton, Jim Broadbent, Bill Nighy, Hugh Laurie and Ashley Jensen.
Here’s the synopsis,
Arthur Christmas highlights the technological advances of operations at the North Pole, revealing how Santa (Broadbent) and his vast army of highly trained elves produce gifts and distribute them around the world in one night. However, every operation has a margin of error… When one of 600 million children to receive a gift from Santa on Christmas Eve is missed, it is deemed “acceptable” to all but one, Arthur (McAvoy). Arthur Claus is Santa’s misfit son who executes an unauthorized rookie mission to get the last present half way around the globe before dawn on Christmas morning.
The film is due out in November next year, in the meantime here’s the trailer,
