Another film that I have no desire to see, “Arthur Christmas” finds its way into the pool of eighteen animated films up for consideration for the Academy Awards this year. Though I am positive it will be better than “Happy Feet Two”, the advertisements still do not sell me enough to get behind it (though, I am stating all of this without having seen the film).
