'Arthur Christmas': Aardman's latest gets a teaser trailer
Published Wednesday, Jul 13 2011, 17:19 BST | By Simon Reynolds | 3 comments
Wallace & Gromit creators Aardman are back with their latest animated feature Arthur Christmas. Unlike the plasticine characters in their Oscar-winning 2005 film The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Arthur uses state-of-the-art CGI to bring to life its character in an Aardman-esque fashion. All in 3D, of course.
The story centres on the complicated operation taking place beneath the North Pole that allows Santa Claus to get every present delivered for Christmas Day. James McAvoy voices the titular hero, Santa's well-meaning but accident-prone youngest son - the only member of the family still enchanted by the festive holiday.
Brit thesps Bill Nighy, Hugh Laurie, Jim Broadbent, Matt Lucas, Ashley Jensen and Imelda Staunton complete the impressive cast.
Arthur Christmas will open in the UK on November 11 and November 23 in the US.
