Arthur Christmas/Heartwarming

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • This scene near the very end.

Santa: But if I'm not Santa... Who will I be?
Mrs. Claus: You'll be my Malcolm.

  • The last 15 minutes or so are heartwarming. Not gonna lie, I teared up a bit.
    • Malcolm and company arrive to cover the sunlight for Arthur to deliver the gift before Gwen wakes up.
    • Arthur, Malcolm, and Steve seeing Gwen finding her gift and realizing Arthur should succeed his father.
    • The Where Are They Now? Epilogue ending with "Arthur Christmas...who made everyone happy."
    • Lets not forget this moment; after Arthur delivers Gwen's present, he falls in the snow on his way up to the S1 and gets snow on his face, and the wind puffs up his jacket. Gwen comes outside and catches a glimpse of him for a second before the S1 takes off. The fact that Arthur had become the new Santa makes it even more heartwarming.
  • When one elf scanned a child in the beginning, and got "56% Naughty," meaning no gifts in the stocking. An absolutely heartbroken look appeared on the elf's face, and he then promptly scanned himself, getting a "82% Nice" reading and thus letting him put presents in the naughty kid's stocking anyway.
  • Evie taking off for the first time in the film. The beautiful animation of flying over the North Pole and Grandsanta's speech about the tradition of taking the next Santa along for a ride brought a few tears to this troper's eyes.
