Arthur Christmas

Love this movie.

I like how it started with a letter by Gwen, a little girl who believes in Santa but is wondering how the heck he manage to deliver all the presents to all the children in the world.

Remind me of post on Santa. Well, not really. But she questioned Santa work technique. And the movie show that. About how Santa delivers the presents. How even if there is no more chimney, they still managed to place the toys under the tree.

Arthur is the youngest son of Santa, so he will not be Santa. He worked in letters and basically everyone look down on his job. Cause he work behind the scene, so he is not seen as important. However among everyone, he is the only one who actually care about the children.

His brother Steve just want to be Santa, because he is the one who created the system and stuff for the production line and delivery.

Santa just want to be Santa, because he is important if he is Santa. So he doesn't want to retire just yet.

Grandsanta want to go back giving presents because he wants to go down the chimney and relive his glory days.

What great about this show it that you can relate it to the world now.

Now, with so much better technology, the older generation complain bout the world now and always talking about how they use to do things in the past. But if you watch this movie, then you will know no matter how classic and original the past is, it is the past. It will not work on the world today.
No matter how great you think you are, other people matter too. If you are selling stuff, customers are the one that you should care about, not the way you sell stuff. Because they are the one that will comment about you and they are the one that will buy. So you cannot be selfish. If you want to be highly powerful and well loved, you gotta understand what is the thing that matter. In Santa case, it is the children.
Do things for the right reason. And not because you want glory.

In the future, if you want to lie to your kids about Santa existence, you can always watch this movie. Then you will have a better understanding of how Santa work in this century. And that he is not old, he is just the next few generation from the original.

I just wanna know how Santa find a wife that's all.
