Arthur Christmas
Movie Quote Quiz

Steve: This is Germany, Father. They drive on the right. National dish: sausage.

Arthur: There is a Child without a present.
Steve: Arthur! Christmas is not a time for emotion.

Grandsanta: The Santas always come through Canada. Nobody lives here. It's nice and quiet.

Grandsanta: You were right, Arthur! It doesn't matter how Santa's gift gets there! It doesn't matter if it is Mr Postman in his Spaceship.
Arthur: Just as long as it gets there.
Grandsanta: You made it happen, Lad! No-one got left out.

Steve: Okay, lets show them people, 'Operation Santa Claus is coming to town!'.

Other mistake: Grand-Santa has made 70 missions, and Santa (Malcolm) has just completed his 70th mission, totaling 140 years. Yet Grand-Santa is only 136 years old.

Suggested correction: Grandsanta's portrait is shown in the halls of the North Pole with the dates 1902-1941 (with Malcom having done 71 missions from 1941). Therefore he did 39 missions. That makes for a total of 109 years, meaning he was 27 when he took over from his own father.

Then it's a double mistake because Grand-Santa himself specifically said "I did my 70 missions..."

He's senile though. He could just be exaggerating while forgetting it's literally written on the wall.
