He carried the whole movie he’s Santa did, he had a heart attack while delivering presents, delivered presents during ww2 for shot 12 times but finished the mission even when he lost 3 reindeer, throws an elf out of the sleigh without care and vandalises a shop for a reindeer decoration, he’s a goat
I love how they reference the cuban missle crisis,cannibalism,misogyny,multiple wars,alcoholism and suicide in the children's movie, thats how you know its peak cinema
@@DoofenSpyroDragon16the other side of that is that he implies that he believed he could. It's kinda suggest that he was very progressive for his time.
I find it hilarious that he basically just tries to kill the wrapping elf that tags along, AND admits to multiple elf casualties in previous Christmases
I love how he says "They're always putting these things up" when talking about human cities, along with the extended lifespan it essentially implies that the Santas aren't even humans, Long lived criptids living in the arctic creating and delivering all manner of gifts for centuries using magic and sheer determination.
1:09 no one has the "I'm the og" speech like guys past the age of 70. Like, my grandpa didn't fight any wars, but even he has stories like "Back in my home city, my dad was the only one around with a radio and the whole town sat in front of our house to listen" Or "That four hour drive you just took? When I was a kid we spent two days on that path wearing ponchos to protect ourselves from the absurd amount of dust"
My Grampa caught me sneaking home drunk in the early hours once and told me all about his own adventures with alcohol (none of which actually involved drinking it). It was a very surreal conversation to have halfway up the stairs, in the middle of the night, stinking drunk and hoping to hell my mum wouldn't wake up
You forget when your watching this that grandsabta is Davy fucking jones The literal pirate Satan plays goofy Santa grandpa God is bill nighty a amazing actor
I swear, this movie is the BEST animated Christmas film ever. It's got everything: humour, heart, hope, everything you want in a Christmas movie. And it's not juvenile about it either, mentioning everything from the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis to childhood alcoholism, but it still manages to be family friendly, with a side of dry, classic British humour. It's just perfect in every way.
This movie is so incredible, I watch it a few times each year and I feel I almost never heard anyone praise it, let alone talk about it. Always glad to find something I’ve always loved is loved by others too :)
“Reindeer are brave, powerful beasts but they’re also dappled cretins with twigs on their heads!” I crack up every time I hear that one 🤣🤣🤣 Merry Christmas for 2024 whoever reads this and *please* go hug your furbabies all 🎄💙🐱💙🎄 (Love and miss you always my Twinkle)
I think he brought his son along which probably meant that it counted for his missions as well, or you know, he’s wrong because he’s a little unhinged.
There’s almost always some kind of war going on somewhere in the world, so yes; every Santa has to make at least a few deliveries to war zones every year.
Idk why I just noticed this but when the grandpa Santa is talking about Christmas in 1941, he throws up the German three when talking about the reign deer he lost
4:58 welp, its canon. Grandsanta nearly turned the cold war hot.
3:13 And escalated the war in vietnam
And that's why NORAD tracks him every Christmas now.
Big Boss was right all along...

God forbid he has hobbies.
Grandsanta needs his own movie, sounds like every year was an adventure for him :P.
He was the Santa during the worst parts of recent history
So a prequel? Sure I'm down for one.
That would be awesome 🤩
1:59 "They used to say it was impossible to teach women to read."
The best line in the entire movie.
I don't know, "Alcoholic at the age of nine!" is pretty good.
That’s the only line I low key find a little sexist but other than that he’s great. 😄

The part where he forgot the name of some of the reindeer always cracks me up🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He references Bambi.
Then at the end it turns out those are the names.
2:30 😂
I find it hilarious that he basically just tries to kill the wrapping elf that tags along, AND admits to multiple elf casualties in previous Christmases
Yeah, the man just seems to almost hate the elves.
Is no one gonna talk about the fact Grandsanta literally just admitted that three of his reindeer and an elf fucking died during one Christmas?? 😭💀
Amazing, mission complete. That right there is why you're the best, boss. The one and only.
Or the fact that he almost screwed up the Cuban Missile crisis, and almost started World War 3!!
@@SlurpyPie If you think about it, one of those reindeer was Rudolph.
In his workshop there are elf extractors on the wall too, the elves used to be slaves when he was Santa
6:47
The way he says, “Here, have a bon-bon.” gets me every fucking time
1:02 he literally suggests killing, also “I didn’t know it was the Cuban missile crisis” is perfect
To be honest, I'm not sure he really considers the elves to be people. He seems to think they're more like pets
5:37 "At least have the decency to finish us off with a rock!"
Bro was considering it
Fun Fact: Bill Nighy won an Annie Award for best voice acting for best animated feature for this movie.
NO WAY that's awesome
Fun fact: I literally just now realised that was Bill Nighy
“What happened to going down the chimbley, never did me any h…” coughing fit from what is quite possibly emphysema or maybe tuberculosis

“Least finish us off with a rock”
Arthur considered it😂
“Elf back me up if you want a career” that line just broke me, it’s so simple yet amazing at the same time

I know! He's awesome!! Great at drama and comedy!
He also voiced Rattlesnake Jake from Rango.

@@redshot5403 you see that's the joke
Maybe he's a different species of human that lives longer, I'm probably overthinking a silly joke though :3

Grandsanta is my favorite character and I really like the actor who voiced him, it seems he put a lot of effort into voicing Grandsanta.
yeah he's great!
Grand Santa was voiced by Bill Nighy, wonderful actor, one of my favorites
I'm sorry but the joke about nobody lives in canada, got me.
This is my fav joke in this movie! I’m glad somebody else appreciates it 😂
Nobody lives here! It’s nice and quiet!
UNDERRATED gem
thank you!
‘I would have won anyway’ had me rolling on the floor 😭✋
I didn’t even realize he said that til this compilation! 😆
@ loll
1:29 Rip drunk elf 🫡💀 he was a real one
0:28 Literally my favorite line of any Christmas show ever. I laugh more every time I watch it 😂😂
my jaw dropped at 2:01
Not one minute in and we're hearing tell of Santa, when a kid would wake up, knocking children out and giving them whiskey to forget they saw him 😂
I would watch a prequel of his time being Santa
Right!!
Sleigh fever they call it pressure of Christmas sends a man doo lally tap every child that year got a sausage nailed to a piece of bark 😂😂😂😂
Man took twelve direct hits
Lost three reindeer and elf and STILL delivered
The voice actor who plays Grandsanta also plays Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean!
And Rattlesnake Jake from Rango
“They used to say it was impossible to teach women to read”

Arthur Christmas is literally the one of the best Christmas movies ever and I stand by this fr
'Insubordination, i'll have you harpooned elf' is my favourite. It's just such an unnecessary threat 💀
The next santa may not have sat in my evie but Arthur did and hes as good a man as any Santa theres ever been

1:31 lake genniva😂😂😂
Never saw him again XD

love every name he gave to Steve 😂😂😂
this is why arthur christmas is the best animated christmas film (second only to the muppets christmas carol)

"Hola"
Ok fine I’ll watch Arthur Christmas again

It’s now canon that Santa almost caused ww3
1:38 in a heap of sticks. He got so mad
FOR REAL AHAHAH
I love the concept of Santa Claus being an inherited position, a bit like a monarch, and not just a single individual.
Nothing makes me laugh more than him trying to remember the names of the reindeer 😂 “Bambi” “you there with the white ear” 😂
soldier must think grandsanta german bomber during the blitz
Omg grandpa santa is best.
5:40 Bro the sound effect caunt me completely by surprise that was the funniest shit 🤣
If he is 136, his son has done 70 years of Santa and he has done 70 years of Santa, does that mean he started at -4 years old
I think he brought his son along which probably meant that it counted for his missions as well, or you know, he’s wrong because he’s a little unhinged.
It could be shared missions, like the ones Malcolm and Steve shared. Those missions counted for Steve if he were named Santa.
@@Question-LogNo wonder Malcolm is sort of nuts in his own way. The man had to survive his insane father
are like half the Santa’s war vets lol

SO TRUE
Grand Santa is the best character in the movie hands down

"See! He admits it!"

this is the only kids movie ive seen reference the cuban missile crisis 😭
When?
@ grandsanta has a random flashback to when he nearly started ww3
3:59 Sent me 😭
this’ been my favorite christmas movie for years now and for good reason, will be watching it again soon
This movie is a fever dream to me, I only remember the “sleigh fever” scene
My family watches this movie every Christmas Eve before bed, and Grandsanta is my Dads favorite character.
I do the same!

The whole thing is so wonderfully british.
