Klaus |OT| Netflix Xmas adventure. right in the feels
- Thread starter Greigor the FellHand
- Start date
It has one of the more unique Santa origin stories. Although I quite despise a liar reveal scene, it didn't detract from the overall enjoyment of the movie. The ending felt a bit rushed, but it managed to get me all emotional lol.
It's a really cute, wonderfully animated Christmas movie that my niece and I enjoyed.

It was so good I watched it twice! Not a huge fan of the modern music in some of the scenes though.
Just watched it, and this is my gripe with it too. That little girl is SOOOOOOO cute!
Klaus took home the Best Animated Feature award at the Annies. For a year that I feel boasted an arguably weak slate of animated films (high-profile sequels that couldn't quite deliver), I'd say this one is very well deserved for being an original and as good as it is.

I finally watched this movie, and man it was good! I almost cried at certain parts.
And it's just beautiful. I also laughed at the unfitting music, I liked it.

Agreed on both fronts, as I feel it's going to be one of those films that will get repeat viewing for many years to come.
I finally watched this movie for the first time tonight. It truly is a treasure. Just a wonderful, heartfelt movie.
Best scene in the movie is that kid chasing the frog. I'll watch this brief moment every year. (@1:35):

I think the director was working on another movie but Netflix shut it down
Literally just got done watching this again. I think it's a new Christmas tradition for me.
Great movie.
Great movie.
Why would you all bump this to give me warm feelings seeing it again, and then break my heart like this?
I've already been watching this for Xmas the last 2 years now.
I normally hate the type of movies they make to cash in on this time of year but this one just hits different. I don't see this being replaced anytime soon.
Wonderful film

That's unfortunate, as I really liked Klaus and was looking forward to the upcoming Ember. Hopefully Pablos will be able to shop the film to other studios, provided Netflix had given him back the rights to said project.
They're still working on their next masterpiece, but understandingly it's gonna take a minute.
They did, thankfully.
Sergio Pablos’ ‘Ember’ Will Not Proceed at Netflix
The streamer reportedly is no longer moving forward with the Oscar-nominated ‘Klaus’ director and his SPA Studios on the 2D hand-drawn feature, which it announced just this past June as part of its current European slate of animated features and series.

So, I watched it on Christmas day.
It was wonderful, thank you for bumping the thread and reminding me to watch it.
My dad doesn't watch animated movies (or very rarely, like, he loves some Ghibli movies) but when I started watching it he said it looked beautiful and sat to watch it with me. So, great movie and good new christmas memory ❤️
Seconded.
Gonna keep the tradition alive by putting it on again now
I watched it this year, it kinda destroyed me in some parts. Absolutely beautiful story.
I will rewatch every year :)

I hate that I can never convince people to watch this. While at one family gathering, movies were on in the background for kids while the adults (I'm an adult, I mean the like… above 45 crowd) were talking in the background. I put on Klaus and the conversation slowed as the adults started looking at the screen. Just a bunch of "what is this? This is ugly. Put on Elf. Yeah Elf!"
I like Elf, yes. But this deserves to be regarded on that same level of annual Holiday watch.
Then today with my roommates we were trying to decide what to watch, and I kept throwing out Klaus to absolutely no response, and hovering over it on Netflix.
"Ehh I don't want to watch anything animated or anything Muppets"
Ughhhhhhh
It's been like this every year. I don't want to be annoying or overhype the movie or anything, but it's like… damn I wish people would give it a chance, be open minded to a new classic instead of only wanting to watch the stuff they already know. I guess I'll watch it by myself again.

Our situation is usually too chaotic for anyone to focus on anything because they're all drunk and talking about random shit. The only thing that got their attention last night was putting on daily dose of internet clips.... it sucks but I think movies are just mostly impossible to appreciate in that kind of environment.
