Movie Summary:

Every Christmas night, Santa brings presents to every kid in the entire world.  But the question is: how does he do it?  The answer is in ‘Arthur Christmas’.  Underneath the North Pole, Steve Claus, Santa’s oldest son, runs the new, modernized operation of gift delivering on Christmas Eve.  This is accomplished by a swift, massive spaceship, the use of new technology and the help of elves, who are tasked with making the deliveries to the houses in mere seconds.  But one Christmas, the operation takes a turn for the worse when a lone child is accidentally missed.  Steve and his father could care less, but Arthur, his kind-hearted, but clumsy youngest son, wants to set things right.  Arthur, along with his old but “young at heart” grandfather, Grandsanta, and an intelligent wrapping division elf named Bryony, use the forgotten, but original reindeer-and-sleigh “operation” to set off to deliver gifts to the lone child.  They attempt to save Christmas once and for all! 

Sporting a great cast and an engaging story, “Arthur Christmas” is a family-friendly, funny, lively, and surprisingly touching animated movie.

Movie Summary:

In the lively city of Smalltown, young Walter has always looked up to the infamous Muppets, with whom he grew up by watching on TV.  Now, in the modern times, where the show has ended and people have forgotten them, the Muppets have separated and gone their own ways.  When Walter is invited on a vacation to Hollywood with his brother, Gary and Gary’s girlfriend, Mary, Walter is thrilled!  Walter persuades Gary and Mary to take him to visit the old abandoned Muppet Theater in L.A.  While in the theater, Walter learns of the plans of evil oil industrialist Tex Richman, who wants to demolish the theater so that he can drill oil wells in its location.  Together, Walter, Mary and Gary set off to reunite the Muppets and put on a show to save the theater once and for all. 

“The Muppets” is a funny and often touching movie, but it does have some rude humor.

                                                           

Spend your “green” at the theater to see “The Muppets”!
