Only 383 Shopping Days Remain Until Christmas 2011

Below is the teaser trailer for Arthur Christmas, and if you’re like me, now that you know it’s animated, you’re probably already contemplating clicking away. I understand. But the teaser trailer is adorable, even if it is a year too early. It’s not a trailer so much as a short film featuring the characters, one of which is Arthur Christmas, the son of Santa, who rides a giant sleigh that looks more like a UFO.

And if that’s not enough to pique your interest, maybe this is: It comes from the same folks who bring you Wallace and Gromit. Sold? I was, at least on the teaser.

Oh, and James McAvoy is the voice of Arthur. A shame that voices can’t take off their shirts, eh?

Kinda pissed that you teased this with half-nekkid MacAvoy.

You KNEW I'd click on a half-nekkid MacAvoy, because bitch please. He's a hot slut and I'm shallow as a puddle.

You know what sold it for me? The Morgan Freeman voice over.

Hey Rowles get your BFF Kevin Smith under control, he started some shit again last night at an airport ticket counter. But of course it wasn't his fault, first it was the movie critics and bloggers that he had a problem with and now he’s at the airport breaking balls. This guy is turning into a real dick.

Markus,

Relax. By next Christmas, EVERY movie will be 3D. You can pay your $25 or not.

Dustin, when did you become such a sappy wuss?

James McAvoy lives near my house and I keep bumping into him. He's very small and beautiful, but I've stood next to him at traffic lights about nine times already and need a celebrity change-up.

"James McAvoy lives near my house and I keep bumping into him."

Mm. Mmm. Mmmmm.

Sounds like Christmas and my birthday rolled into one.

The things I would do to that man... I'll be in my bunk.

I mean, he's good and all, but still kind of a sad-faced homunkulus.

I'd do more than just "bumping into him", but than again, I might get arrested.
