Arthur Christmas
Play • 40 min

Our animation season kicks off with a heartwarming family Christmas favourite, starring Dasher, Dancer, Prancer....erm, Bambi, John, the one with the white ear and Santa's youngest son Arthur, who'll do anything to get young Gwen Hines a present on Christmas morning after she's accidentally missed by Santa's high-tech delivery system.


It's a movie that comments on inter-generational conflict, inheritance, our reliance on technology and loss of tradition, as well as our own egotistical behaviours, but mostly it's about the true meaning of Christmas - compassion, family, belief and the joy of giving.


It's also gorgeous and very British, courtesy of the genius of Aardman Animation.


Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all!


PS I swear I was not drunk during recording! Also, Jess was around for editing.
