Synopsis: Kids has been asking how Santa delivers presents all around the world all in one night, well the answer is with the high tech, state of the art ship and millions of elves. Arthur was Santa’s klutzy son who spends time reading letters while his older brother, Steve, is about to become the next Santa. Another Christmas was a success but only one child is forgotten. This causes Arthur to worry, he asks Steve and their father to deliver the last gift before the child wakes up but they said it was impossible. But Arthur’s grandfather disagrees with them and decides to help deliver the last gift using an old-fashioned sleigh, eight reindeer and a stowaway elf who is crazy about wrapping gifts. Together, they can deliver the last gift.

 

The Review: Outstanding British Christmas movie who can give the children hopes. Such quite a cast! Clever technology for the citizens at the north pole (including the iPhone for elves called HOHO). Be prepare for a sleigh ride! This is Aardman’s first fully length CGI animated film.
