Arthur Christmas
Ever wonder how 2 Billion presents get delivered all in 1 night?
For hundreds of years, the Claus family has delegated the title "Santa" to a chosen few of its members, which can be passed down upon retirement. Each Christmas, Santa and his vast army of highly trained elves produce gifts and distribute them around the world in a one-night high-tech operation. However, when one of 600 million children to receive a gift from Santa on Christmas Eve is missed, it is deemed ‘acceptable’ to all but one—Arthur Claus, the current Santa’s misfit son deemed ineligible for the title, who executes an unauthorised rookie mission to get the last present halfway around the globe before dawn on Christmas morning.

A hilarious Santa Claus road trip movie
Arthur Christmas mixes comedy, a road trip concept, a mission, and a Christmas themed movie into this watchful delight.
One sidenote about the motivation is how “worry can get you there.” Arthur, in particular, does the final act of the movie with his improvised team by “doing it with worry”. Worry is a joy-eater and never an excellent emotional state to motivate you to accomplish anything. Jesus Christ coming to relieve us of worry and freeing us from sin is the reason for Christmas, so having a message about doing things with worry counteracts the meaning of Christmas.
