Klaus Storyline

When Jesper (Jason Schwartzman) distinguishes himself as the postal academy’s worst student, he is stationed on a frozen island above the Arctic Circle, where the feuding locals hardly exchange words let alone letters. Jesper is about to give up when he finds an ally in local teacher Alva (Rashida Jones), and discovers Klaus (Oscar® winner J.K. Simmons), a mysterious carpenter who lives alone in a cabin full of handmade toys. These unlikely friendships return laughter to Smeerensburg, forging a new legacy of generous neighbors, magical lore and stockings hung by the chimney with care. An animated Christmas comedy directed by Despicable Me co-creator Sergio Pablos, KLAUS co-stars Rashida Jones, Jason Schwartzman and JK Simmons.

Klaus Movie Reviews

Never thought I’d give a “sappy” cartoon a 10, but what a surprise

Sure, sappiness is cute, and fun to indulge in. I thought I’d seen it all. But what sappiness was in the movie well used. The main thrust was not sappy. It was a well told story, with the proper nuances in the animation and the vocalization. I consider this movie to be for adults. You will thoroughly enjoy it.

I am not crying, you are crying.

I haven’t felt this good after watching a movie. I feel good about myself. I am not kidding, I actually cried during and after the credit rolled. Thank you Netflix.

Mr. Klaus and the Postman….helping to make mean people reluctantly nicer!

Jesper is a selfish and lazy young man. And, to teach him a lesson, his father sends him to work as a postman in the hellish Scandinavian town of Smeerensburg. Why is the place so bad? It’s incredibly unfriendly and gray….with locals constantly feuding with each other for generations. And, considering the locals can’t stand each other, no one ever wants to write a letter….and Jesper has absolutely nothing to do but count the days until he can leave the place!

One evening, a dark and scary stranger, Mr. Klaus, shows up and demands that Jesper delivers a present to one of the kids in town. Over time, the traditional Santa myth is created in the story–with kids writing letters to Santa Klaus, reindeer and the whole kiboodle. But what about Jesper? His time to leave is approaching…and he’s actually doing so much good.

This is a gorgeously animated and beautiful film. I loved the combination of CGI and traditional animation and the story kept my interest because it had heart and was occasionally rather funny. Well worth seeing and clearly a reimagining of the Christmas special from 19970, “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”.

UPDATE: I saw this film again and noticed a couple minor problems I didn’t notice the first time. First, the heavily auto-tuned music really didn’t fit the film. Second, the art style seemed to change a lot throughout the film…like they were making changes in the character design.
