Justin Bieber video preceding ARTHUR CHRISTMAS

[Corey Fantoccini]

There is a music video for Justin Bieber covering "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" that is currently attached to all prints and digital presentations of ARTHUR CHRISTMAS, and it prominently features a very pretty female mechanical doll dancer. Some of her moves seem augmented by CGI tinkering, but nothing to quibble over.

Unfortunately, for now it appears to be a theatrical exclusive. I checked on YouTube, and there is a camcordered bootleg of it that is of very poor quality, you can barely make anything out, let alone the girl. A short behind the scenes video I found shows her hands poking in frame during some Bieber singing footage, but nothing of her.

Guess you'll have to go see the movie to view it yourself. Luckily, ARTHUR CHRISTMAS is a very wonderful, charming animated film that is not just a kid flick; it's from Aardman, the same animation outfit that created "Wallace and Gromit," so there's lots of cheeky humor on a par with that fine series.

i find it appalling that the movie studio are FORCE feeding this Justan Bieber nonsense before the movie. this is nothing more than a tactic to get kids to see the movie, but in the process repel adults who may want to see the movie. i for one like seeing the trailers before the movie, but i sure as satan going to heaven for a vacation do NOT want to see this 15 minute of fame wanabe.

sorry for the rant but somebody had to say it....
