Quite.

Those tweets were the result of a 2nd viewing of the film (the completed 3d version with end credits this time) at a press screening this morning. Also in attendance where Mark Kermode, James King and BBC Breakfast's Bill Turnbull (in your face celebrity premiere!)
I really enjoyed this a second time round. Managing to spot a few details I missed the first time, including a cameo appearance from a Shaun the Sheep toy.
Bill Nighy still completely steals the film as Grandsanta and a second viewing was perfect for picking up some of his withering put-downs of Steve and his modern approaching to present delivery. I particularly liked his sarcastic names for Steve (Tommy Techno and Robbie the Robot) and he gets the film's best line (about women which I won't spoil).

Seeing the end credits for the first time I was shocked by the amount of famous people that voice the smaller characters. Michael Palin, Laura Linney, Robbie Coltrane, Eva Longoria, Dominic West, Jane Horrocks, Joan Cusack, Emma Kennedy, Kevin Eldon, Stewart Lee, Rhys Darby, Sanjeev Bhaskar are only a small selection of the voice-over artists that I managed to spot as the credits whizzed by.
There is also a wonderful version of 'Make Somebody Happy' as sung by Bill Nighy/Grandsanta at the beginning of the end credits. The less said about the hideous cover of 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town' by Justin Bieber the better though. It's the only cynical note in the whole film (apparently Bieber has a Xmas album to promote) and it's a shame they felt the need to include it.

Despite that it's a wonderful festive film and well worth seeing.
