The Hollywood Reporter -
Leave it to the folks who brought us "Wallace & Gromit," "Chicken Run" and "Flushed Away" to bring a delightful blast of fresh air to the conventional Christmas genre. Aardman's Arthur Christmas is that and more - an endlessly amusing 3D, CG-animated Yuletide romp with lively innovation at every turn and a dream voice cast headed by James McAvoy, Hugh Laurie and Bill Nighy.

Variety -
Arthur Christmas embraces this unconditional faith and rewards it with creative explanations and a brisk computer-animated adventure clever enough to become essential yuletide viewing.

Empire -
A great, big joy. Even if you're a bit bah humbug, just delight in the supremely clever Aardman comedy.

Arizona Republic -
The real draw of Arthur Christmas is simpler: It's really funny.

Slant Magazine -
A yuletide fable that boasts Aardman Animation's peerless mix of whip-smart comedy and cheery heart.
