Movie #1883 "Klaus" (animated feature) --- Theme and plot are mentioned below, so I just want to make some observations. I liked the voices here, and I liked the way the film discloses one part of the Santa Claus story and then the next and the next --- so as a viewer, I am saying to myself: Oh, that's where and why the reindeer get into the story, etc. The film moves most of the time rather speedily through one incident to the next, and the major characters are developed quite well. What I wondered about when I was watching this is: Who is the demographic for this audience? It is a bit scary in a couple of places for little kids --- it makes a conscientious study of the Santa Claus stmyth --- one that kids know very little about because he seems to be something magical --- and to think much more about it kind of ruins that Christmas megic in the story. So is it a cartoon for adults? Not sure ---- I don't know; I was confused. But I did enjoy the humor in the main character --- he reminded me at the outset like Inspector Clousea with more sarcasm . The film is much more interesting than "The Missing Link," but I still am partial to "Toy Story 4" as the best in this category. 4 stars out of 5
"KLAUS" 1 hour and 36 mins 2019
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.
