Arthur Christmas (2011)
Watching this totally wonderful Aardman classic every Christmas has become a tradition for me (as has crying at several points). It perfectly captures the feeling of Christmas in the small human details of the inter-generational family relationships but it's also a perfectly paced crazy adventure. Every inch is so stocking-stuffed with little gags that I was still spotting ones I'd missed in previous years. The logistics of how Santa would actually be able to do Christmas are all obsessively explained, making this perfect viewing for kids who are just at that age when they are starting to wonder "Could Santa really deliver presents to every kid in the world?". With a giant supersonic Thunderbirds sleigh... of course he can!
