Arriving in theaters this week, ARTHUR CHRISTMAS is an animated family film that centers on the dysfunctional Claus family and the dynamics of their newly-redesigned Christmas business. Directed by SARAH SMITH, the voice cast includes JAMES McAVOY, HUGH LAURIE, JIM BROADBENT and BILL NIGHY.
A seasoned vet of such animated films as SPRUNG!, FLUSHED AWAY and RANGO, NIGHY actively campaigned and auditioned for the role of Arthur’s crusty, retired Grandsanta. Talking to us recently, NIGHY confessed that was a role he really, really wanted to book. (CLICK ON THE MEDIA BAR FOR AUDIO)
