doesn’t look very good.

#2

It’s too early to judge from a teaser. The only issue is how many muscles are in the characters’ faces, because the elf doesn’t move a whole lot or have a wide range of expressions.

#3

When I first heard about this over a year ago, I thought it was gonna be the big screen adaption of the Arthur cartoon.

#4

lol, that’s what I thought too, until I saw the trailer.

Meh, not too impressed. But there’s not a lot to judge from either, guess we’ll have to wait for more plot details and other trailers.

#5

I love Aardman, so I’m really looking forward to this

#6

has anyone seen the more recent trailers?

i think it looks like a good movie!

#7

Looks pretty decent. It looks to be the best animated release this month since Happy Feet Two is getting negative reviews at the moment.

#8

Isn’t this that Christmas movie that uses a song by Justin Bieber? :laughing:
Not that I’m saying it can’t still be good or anything. 8D

#9

Yep. One of Bieber’s songs will be in this movie judging by the commercials.

#10

It’s a great little film :slight_smile:. I’ll put a full review up later.

#11

I probably won’t see it now! 8D

#12

It doesn’t matter to me that one of his songs are going to be in the film. I don’t like him but it doesn’t matter to me if it’s only one song.

#13

I would like to see this one.

#14

Ah, I figured. 8D Again, that doesn’t personally affect my opinion of it as a film, though. I am still interested in seeing it :slight_smile:

#15

I was just kidding btw

#16

Yeah, but I was just stating my opinion on one of his songs being in the film.

#17

The most recent trailer actually intersts me in the movie. Which is saying something, because I’m not a huge fan of Christmas movies. Well, any in the past 20 years that is.

#18

Nothing really interests me about this movie as I might write it off as an ordinary Christmas movie. In fact, we haven’t really seen any good ones since Elf.

#19

Well the reports are in, and we loved the film - it is completely charming and the script is very sharply written.

Our overall consensus was: With brilliant animation from Aardman and a story that is as wonderfully humorous as it is heartfelt, Arthur Christmas is filled with the true spirit of the season and is destined to become a holiday classic. **** (Out of 4)

I’m actually really interested in seeing this. Good luck convincing my parents on that, they’ll probably think it’s dumb and won’t let me go. :unamused:

Anyway, one of my friends on Twitter, who is a HUGE Pixar/Disney enthusiast, saw this film and said it was really good. She told me I should especially go see it because Arthur reminded her of Alfredo and she said I’d love it. :laughing: I’m not really into Christmas movies either, but this looks like one I might try to see. :slight_smile:
