Brief review, stars and soundtrack
Harry Gregson-Williams who co-scored Aardman Animations' film "Chicken Run" and was main composer for the company's 2006 film "Flushed Away", is scorer for "Arthur Christmas", a Sony Pictures Animations and Aardmans Animation's animated feature.
Gregson-Williams has also scored several films including "X-Men Origins: Wolverine", "Shrek 4-D", "Shrek 2", Shrek the Third", and more recently, "Cowboys & Aliens". He is most notably known for his collaboration with director Tony Scott, having scored all his movies since the 1988 film "Enemy of the State".
Gregson-Williams' style of combining electronic music with orchestral pieces will work perfectly with "Arthur Christmas', given the film's main storyline of Santa hiding a ultra hi-tech operation in the North Pole.
The film's OST featuring Gregson-Williams' original score and a song by Bill Nighy was released digitally overseas on November 4, 2011, followed by a CD version on November 14. You can preview the audio clips at Amazon.uk. Stay tuned for US release date.
"Arthur Christmas" is co-writen and directed by Sarah Smith, and co-directed by Barry Hook. The film's voice stars include James McAvoy, Hugh Laurie, Jim Broadbent, Bill Nighy, Imelda Staunton, Johnny Brennan and Ashley Jensen. The plot revolves around Santa's hidden hi-tech operation, his family, especially his son Arthur. When on a Christmas night a single present for a very upset little girl is missed, Arthur must go on a mission with Grandsanta and elf Byrony using an old sled to deliver the present before the Christmas morning.
