After two teasers, Aardman Animation and Sony Animation have unveiled two full-length trailers for their upcoming holiday family film Arthur Christmas. They come from Yahoo and MSN and aren’t terribly different, but it looks to be the best offering for children this year (not counting Spielberg’s Tintin and Scorsese’s Hugo). I’d take something smarter and more adventurous than its competitors like Alvin & Chipmunks threequel and Puss in Boots. 30 minutes of footage was also recently screened to high praise and now you can check out a glimpse below for the animation featuring voices of Bill Nighy, James McAvoy, Hugh Laurie, and Jim Broadbent.
Synopsis:
‘So how does Santa deliver all those presents in one night?’ The answer: Santa’s exhilarating, ultra-high-tech operation hidden beneath the North Pole. But this year, Santa’s son Arthur has an urgent mission that must be completed before Christmas morning dawns.
Arthur Christmas hits theaters November 23rd, 2011.
