Well, according to this film, it's far more complex and high-tech than you might expect! James McAvoy voices the character of Arthur, Santa's clumsy younger son who finds himself in charge of a mission to deliver a misplaced present to a little girl named Gwen. Hugh Laurie, Laura Linney, and Eva Longoria also lend their voices.
