This will be baa-rilliant. Sorry.

It’s Saturday morning – you’d planned to get up early and make the most of the day, but instead you hid under the covers until quarter to eleven like a shut-in with a passion for snuggliness. You’re such a failure. But never mind – if you’re not going to experience the world first-hand, you can just catch up on the best of the week’s movie news with our regular round-up!

We were sure they didn’t have a leg to stand on…

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy!

Prepare yourself for a relentless onslaught of legendary British voices, classic Aardman stylings, slick 3D and more Christmas spirit than you could shake even a really big candy cane at – it could only be Arthur Christmas. And it’s totally, overwhelmingly charming, just like you knew it would be. What are you doing on a computer? Just go and watch it, Scrooge – and would it kill you to wear a snazzy jumper?

Perhaps they can move it to a Pirate! ship?

Never leave us, stop-motion, not ever.

What do you mean, you haven’t meticulously planned your summer around the amazing film events which are going on all over London? You’re not right, mate. Fortunately, we definitely have organised our getting-burnt-in-the-park sessions so they work around the special screenings we just can’t miss – and if you’re nice, you can peek in our diary.

It’s beginning to look absolutely nothing like Christmas…

Arthur Christmas, released next December by Aardman Animations, is going to be the best Christmas film ever. Just so you know.
