Peter: [after learning about Arthur being the new Santa] You know, Ive — Arthur Christmas

"[cycling through Trelew, to some cows in a field] Happy Christmas, cows!"

"[at the house in Trelew, Mexico; the same one where Grand-Santa, Arthur and Bryony accidentally went previously] Good morning, Gwen Ho, et cetera Apologies for the minor delay Im sure that even a child can understand that in an operation as complex as Christmas, theres always an insignificant margin of error Which is you! As a gesture, Ive upgraded you to the GlamourFast Ultra X3, which retails at $999, more than your requested gift Bigger, ergo better If you wouldnt mind just signing a legal waiver? [Pedro: [confused] No lo entiendo, Seinor Soy Pedro] P-Pedro? A boy? [Pedro: Quién es usted?] A Spanish boy?!"

"My aspiration for the character design was, yes, not going the “Flushed Away” route of trying to copy the stop-frame look. That was my choice. I think that Nick [Park] is one of the best character designers in the world. People don’t think of him like that, but I think he is. I think one of the things that makes his movies spectacular is his characters are fantastic. But, to me, they totally belong to Nick and they belong to stop-frame. So, in the end, I wanted them to still look like they could have only come from Aardman and that they belonged to the family. I think they do. I don’t think they look like CGI human characters from other studios. We didn’t try to make any of them cute, particularly. They weren’t trying to look appealing. They are themselves. They have a slightly rough and ready look to them."

"[as he prepares to abandon Evie he speaks to his old reindeer] Well, this is it, old fella! Maybe the next Santa never sat in my EVIE, but Arthur did, and hes as good a man as any Santa theres ever been! Goodbye, Evie. [jumps off at the last second as missiles destroy the sleigh]"

"[struggling to row the boat way across the Atlantic Ocean to Trelew, grunting and singing] Jingle bells / This boat smells / 3,000 miles to go"

"Christmas accomplished. Commence decking halls."
