"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" stars Jim Broadbent, Bill Nighy and Imelda Staunton will join James McAvoy, Hugh Laurie and Ashley Jensen in Aardman Animation's 3D, CG-animated family comedy "Arthur Christmas," Sony Pictures Animation announced on Tuesday.
Set on Christmas Eve, the story will finally answer the age-old question of how Santa manages to deliver millions of presents across the globe in the span of a single night — there's an ultra-high-tech operation hidden beneath the North Pole!
The film will introduce Santa's comically dysfunctional family, and focus on his son Arthur, a good-natured but clumsy young man tasked with an urgent mission that he must complete before Christmas morning.
