3-D PREVIEW SCREENING + HOLIDAY REFRESHMENTS Arthur Christmas in 3-D by Aardman Animations Saturday, November 19, 11:00 a.m.
Preceded by a reception at 10:00 a.m.
Preceded by a reception with cookies, egg nog, and hot cocoa from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. in the Museum café.
Dir. Sarah Smith. 2011, 97 mins. Presented in Dolby Digital 3-D, courtesy of Sony Pictures Animation. A holiday treat from the renowned Aardman animation studio, teaming up with Sony Pictures Animation, Arthur Christmas at last reveals the incredible, never-before-seen answer to every child’s question: “So how does Santa deliver all those presents in one night?” The answer: Santa’s exhilarating, ultra-high-tech operation hidden beneath the North Pole. But at the heart of the film is a story with the ingredients of a Christmas classic—a family in a state of comic dysfunction and an unlikely hero: Santa’s youngest son, Arthur. Recommended for ages 8+.
Also showing on Saturday: An Aardman Animation Sampler at 3:00 p.m.
