My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Arthur Christmas (2011)

This might be the best Christmas Animated feature film made.  Santa Claus is not just one man but a dynasty, with each Claus having the job for 70 or so years.   This is the story of the younger brother of the next in line: Arthur a dorky but lovable hero who will do anything to make sure every child gets a gift.  Even get on board the original sleigh pulled by eight reindeer with a retired Grandpa Claus at the reins.  It's a blast to see the film makers answer the question, How does Santa delivery all those gifts in one night?   The answer is a wonder to behold of magical science fiction.  Brilliantly funny with fantastic voice work, I hope this goes down as a Christmas Classic.  Grade: A
