Here are some samplings of reviews: Angie Han, The Hollywood Reporter(opens in new tab): "Delivers exactly what it promises on the box. It does not necessarily deliver much more than it promises on the box, but then it doesn't need to." Soren Anderson, Seattle Times(opens in new tab): "A hugely entertaining crowd-pleaser studded with laugh-out-loud moments from beginning to end. Ho hos aplenty in this one." Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic(opens in new tab): "To say Violent Night isn't for everyone overstates the obvious. But if you're looking for a bracing antidote to Hallmark Christmas movie treacle overload, it's a holiday treat." |

- Release date: November 11, 2011
- Duration: 97 minutes
- Directed by: Sarah Smith, Barry Cook
- Cast: James McAvoy, Hugh Laurie, Bill Nighy, Jim Broadbent, Imelda Staunton, Ashley Jensen
- Watch movies at: Youtube
How CAN Santa deliver billions of presents to the whole world in just one night? With an army of one million combat-style Field Elves and a vast, state-of-the-art control center under the ice of the North Pole! So how could this incredible operation have MISSED one child?! To Santa’s young son, Arthur, it threatens to end the magic of Christmas. With retired Grandsanta, a rebellious young elf, an old sleigh and some untrained reindeer, Arthur sets out in a crazy mission to deliver the last present! Deck the halls with excitement, fun and wonder in this new Christmas classic!
Arthur Christmas was only the second computer-animated title from Aardman Animations. It was also the first result of the outfit’s brief collaboration with Sony Pictures Animation. Such notable qualities weren’t enough to attract moviegoers as Arthur Christmas ended up with a meager box office run. Its financial shortcomings were especially apparent when compared to all of the other family movies it competed against in its original release. However, that shouldn’t be seen as a sign of it being an inherently inferior project. Arthur Christmas is just the kind of Yuletide feature that should be an automatic fixture of holiday viewing.

6. How the Grinch Stole Christmas
- Release date: November 9, 2018
- Duration: 86 minutes
- Directed by: Scott Mosier, Yarrow Cheney
- Cast: Benedict Cumberbatch, Rashida Jones, Kenan Thompson, Cameron Seely, Angela Lansbury
- Watch movies at: Netflix, Youtube
Does Santa appear in How the Grinch Stole Christmas? Is he real?
It’s hilarious the thin, beardless Grinch thought dressing up like Santa would fool people enough to break into their homes and steal everything, but he was obviously a genius since Cindy Lou Who thought he was Santa. That moment was also the only clue we had before the ending he might not be totally evil, because after his lie–about needing to take everything to the North Pole so he could fix one single Christmas light–he made sure to get her a drink before sending her off to bed with a kindly pat on the head. But still, not what you would call a great “Santa.”
How lovable How the Grinch Stole Christmas‘ main character?
He’s not. Don’t even try to argue otherwise. Would you describe Darth Vader as “lovable?” Sure, you might love him as a character, but he’s not lovable because he ends three movies of evil by turning on the Emperor. Same thing with the Grinch. He’s an all-time great character because he’s not lovable.
