Arthur ChristmasU

Directed by Sarah Smith | UK | 2010 | 1h 37m | Starring James McAvoy, Jim Broadbent, Bill Nighy, Hugh Laurie, Imelda Staunton

For hundreds of years, the Claus family has delegated the title “Santa” to a chosen few of its members, which can be passed down upon retirement. Each Christmas, Santa and his vast army of highly trained elves produce gifts and distribute them around the world in a one-night high-tech operation. However, when one of 600 million children to receive a gift from Santa on Christmas Eve is missed, it is deemed ‘acceptable’ to all but one—Arthur Claus, the current Santa’s misfit son deemed ineligible for the title, who executes an unauthorised rookie mission to get the last present halfway around the globe before dawn on Christmas morning.

Tickets for Kino Kids Cinema Club screenings are £5 for Children (under-15s) and £7 for Adults. Screenings are relaxed, meaning that the there are no adverts, the sound will be turned down a notch, and the lights will be up a little, and we don’t mind if people make a bit of noise or move around during the film.

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
