Kathleen Murphy makes a happy discovery: Arthur Christmas, a "bright, shiny yuletide gift from Aardman Animation (Wallace & Gromit), is a joy for the eye, mind and heart—not to mention funny bone. Opening with a breathtaking sky ride through rolling, snow-covered hills in Cornwall to zero in on the little village of Trelew, it grabs you up and never lets go. Its 3-D visuals are often dizzying and genuinely magical; you never feel as though you're being beaten about the head with 'special' effects that insist on being registered and admired. Everything you see in Arthur Christmas is fashioned in the service of telling a story ... brilliantly."
