Klaus (2019)

Director: Sergio Pablos, Carlos Martínez López (co-director)

A simple act of kindness always sparks another, even in a frozen, faraway place. When Smeerensburg’s new postman, Jesper, befriends toymaker Klaus, their gifts melt an age-old feud and deliver a sleigh full of holiday traditions.

Ahh, simply marvellous! Another classic to watch every year for Christmas. In the vein of ‘The Polar Express’ and ‘Arthur Christmas’, this is a beautiful story with wonderful characters and great animation. It might not be your conventional Father Christmas, but this film tells the story of how it all began. The film also tells us who he was before becoming Father Christmas, or Santa – a regular family man who suffered a sad loss.

This is a truly awesome, inspiring, uplifting and delightful film young and old will enjoy and treasure for many years to come. Absolutely beautiful! I really can’t even criticize the film in any way; I loved it!

‘Klaus’ already received award nominations for Best Animated Film.

Would I watch it again? Oh, absolutely!
