Arthur Christmas is an Instant Christmas Classic

I  predict that Arthur Christmas will be a regularly watched movie for many many Christmas's to come.  My family thoroughly enjoyed the show.  I don't think that 3D added anything to the show -- the cleverly told story and perfectly depicted characters are enough to make it a must-see, even in 2D.

I recommend this highly for all family members.  Nice humor, some small dramatic tension, nothing embarrassing to adults in front of the kids, and little tearfulness all combines to produce a heart-warming story that is fun to watch in every scene.
