Christmas is almost here! So I wanted to watch the Netflix original animated film Klaus before the holidays were over. Klaus was such an unexpected surprise! I had heard it had great reviews, but I really knew nothing about the plot going into watching it. I love Christmas movies. There's always a number of classics that I rewatch every year. This movie is definitely being added to that list.
Klaus is a 2019 English-language Spanish 2D-animated Christmas comedy film written and directed by Sergio Pablos in his directorial debut, produced by his company Sergio Pablos Animation Studios and distributed by Netflix. Co-written by Zach Lewis and Jim Mahoney, the film stars the voices of Jason Schwartzman, J. K. Simmons, Rashida Jones, Will Sasso, Neda Margrethe Labba, Sergio Pablos, Norm Macdonald, and Joan Cusack. Serving as an alternate origin story of Santa Claus independent from the historical take of Saint Nicholas of Myra and using a fictional 19th-century setting, the plot revolves around a postman stationed in an island town to the Far North who befriends a reclusive toymaker (Klaus).

The magic wind is Lydia, that's why when Jasper is trying to convince klaus to give the presents and the magic wind goes crazy circling jasper he listens to it cause it's his wife basically telling him this is important. At least that's my take from it
is there any other take?
@@michelleh4717 Not that I know of but just in case I left it open if someone had another take
@@Chillautumndays There IS evidence to support this, albeit anecdotal.
In the end, when the wind is blowing at Klaus, he closed his eyes, and said "I'm coming, my love..", so either the wind IS Lydia and she's calling for him, or he accepted his death and reincarnation as Santa Claus.
@@boid9761 I agree - once Lydia called to him and he answered, he died and upgraded to Santa Immortan Claus
Yes
As someone from Norway, it was so nice to see the Sami being represented in this movie and having them speak the Sami language. That was so nice
Same swedish here tho
Was that the true language?
@@masonhults1949 Yes, they got actual Sami voice actors
@@mckenzie.latham91 And got their name right! I had to look it up because I'm just an American and had no clue. There's a video around here showing the little girl who voiced Margu and she actually manages to be even cuter.
I wish someone did a video on it showing exactly what she and her people said
JK Simmons -> Tenzin -> Airbending -> Magical Wind.
Santa is an Air Bender confirmed.
I started watching Korra for the first time the same year this movie came out. Funnily enough, not to long after after I rewatched the old spiderman trilogy. All these things combined convinced me we should put JK Simmons in everything.
@@emilefoy-legault1031
We really should.
@@ZealStarMedia santa is also omniman
@@meathead2934 omniman also want pictures for spiderman, and want his fucking tempo!
Cant remember how well its explained in-movie, but Margu's people are the Sami, indigenous people of the Nordic/Lapland region. The big things they're known for are reindeer herding and the traditional clothing in bright red and blue.
Love that!
its explained pretty well, in that Margu is explicitly called Sami when Jesper asks "whats wrong with her mouth?"
"I'm coming, love."
&
"But I do know: once, every year, I get to see my friend."
Not gonna lie. I cried at those parts.
I always though that this was the origin of Saint Nicholas from Rise of the Guardians when he said that last line
yes its deep
Every time I watch the movie, I'm crying at the last line...
every. single. time I watch it, that last line gets me. and it's worth it, every time.
This movie is heavily underrated. I was legitimately disappointed it lost to Toy Story 4 when award season came through. It deserves recognition.
HOW DID TOY STORY 4 WIN!? I know im 2 years late but what.
@@arvidlarsson5904 Basically, when Pixar/Disney does a CG animated movie, regardless of quality, it automatically wins awards. It happens every year.
It’s a death sentence for any other animation that goes up against it when award nominations go out. This movie getting snubbed is just an example of how effortless it is for Pixar.
@@LovelessDogg1 Its basically a “which movie is more popular” competition.
8:56 I just want to just say how friggin adorable Margu is, the fact that her face getting squished by the door as Jesper gently pushes her aside is too precious for my heart 🥺
not to mention they cast an actual sami girl as her voice actor
Rewatching this movie it still make me cry
I can't watch Klaus without quietly crying, it's just impossible. Immediately eclipsed every Christmas movie made in the past 20 years for me. Go figure, it's the same director who made the kids from the first Despicable Me these wholesome vessels for love (forget the rest of those movies though after the Minions took them over) and of course THIS movie shares in that ability to make the children the focal point of change in the town. It really is just the simple kindness shown time and time again in this movie that gets me. The subversion of the little girl learning to spell her name and wanting to learn MORE in such stark contrast to what you expect...
I just adore how the movie doesn't hold back at showing this bleak, violent, probably murderous world of cynicism and sarcasm and jaded people... and we watch as it all starts to give way to heart, kindness and generosity.
I'll watch it every year if I can help it.
•It's Scandinavian-influenced and the Scandinavian nations are still monarchies.
•You missed that part; the ultimatum from his father. He has a year to deliver and stamp 6,000 letters or be cut off from the family wealth.
•It's heavily implied to be the spirit of his late wife Lydia, but I'm good with calling it the Spirit of Christmas.
•When describing the film to my parts, I told them the town had two families and one was named the Hatfields. If you don't known about the Hatfields and McCoys, something's wrong with you.
•In leu of Elves, Klaus has the Sami to help him in his workshop.
•Margu was one of my favorite characters too. The best part being the filmmakers found a 8-year-old fluent Sami girl to voice her, so you are actually hearing the Sami language.
•This will be a holiday classic that we show our children and their children show their children.
My mother forgets the second one, too.
Yay! This movie instantly became my second fave holiday film right after Arthur Christmas 🎄
Def an instant classic
My two favorite Christmas animations 😊💜💙✨
This films animation is amazing! It’s like 90% hand drawn animation
This movie was such a wonderful surprise, it has become a favorite of mine already!
This is slowly becoming one of my favourite Christmas movies. I love how they worked in all the typical things that you associate with Christmas and Father Christmas, like the coal in the stocking and how they came to use reindeers. I literally showed this to my dad the other day and I said to him, 'It's a little weird at first, but it becomes more heartwarming as you go along." At the end he was like, "I get what you mean about it being weird at first". 😆
Charming , heartfelt, and earnest in its plot and characters without being preacy nor schmalzy . An engaging and timeless as a Xmas classic should be . Can you believe this was passed over for an academy award for yet another PIXAR sequel ? Great review , well done and pleased you appreciated the film . Seeing your transformation into the child you once were was most endearing . Many many thanks indeed .
I never had a Christmasmovie that I wouldn't get tired of, until I found Klaus. It's perfection.
The plot hole of the magical wind... It's magical. 😆
_Lydia-_
I honestly love that approach, magic isn’t meant to be explained in a lot of these kinds of settings. Like the force in Star Wars, the ‘explanation’ of the force just made it strange and less endearing.
This movie really deserved the oscar
More people need to watch/react to this movie. I love it so much.
As a Swede, I figured this film takes place in Scandinavia. Jesper is a Swedish name, and the Sami people are native to the northern tip of Scandinavia. Love the representation! Ps. Jesper and his family are in the postal business, so they need people to send stuff so that their business does well
This movie is so underrated. It was so beautifully conceptualized, drawn, and voiced.
This movie almost made me cry to and that part where jasper made toys warmed my heart
Yess!! I remember first time watching it just because and I wasn't expecting to be bawling my eyes out through the end.
This movie is straight up Santa's Origin story, and it is PERFECT!
It's weird saying this about an Oscar nominated movie, but it's very underrated
I had never heard of it. Before
This is my favorite reaction to anything ever. You caught and appreciated all the important details and were genuinely moved like I was when I saw this movie. Such a good watch
I always forget how grey/desaturated it is in the beginning 😂
I love this movie, can’t wait to watch this :D
me too
This deserves to be one of the best Christmas movies out there
I saw this movie for the first time a couple weeks ago and watching your reaction made me cry again!
Instant classic for me!!!
Ever since I watched it Christmas Day of 2019, this feels very special to me. It’s as you say “an overload of preciousness” and that ending. I felt choked up with joy in my first viewing. This is a classic I’m gonna be watching every year till I die.
When I first saw Klaus during the Christmas holidays, back when it first came onto Netflix, I loved the animation and the storyline. I mean, one child getting his first toy and enjoying it, the little girl finally getting the sled she always wanted, the Christmas tradition, the lesson of goodwill... that just warms my heart. I cried with joy... and I still do every time I watch during the month of December.
We watched this last year when it first came out and it was way more than I was expecting. It's an every year thing for us now.
This was a very good movie. Nothing flashy just a simple good story.
This was a nice reaction.
Maybe next year you can check out Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Story. It's a Christmas musical that came out this year and it's really good.
This film is such a surprise. Just wonderful. Emotional. All the feels.
Margu crying asking for Jesper to not leave always makes me cry. And when she get SOOO happy to see her sleigh and riding it! WOOOHOOO makes me cry…its just so cute
i need more people watching klaus its such a beautiful film and the animators deserve so much more recognition
Just discovered this gem of a movie. Spending Christmas alone, had the whole seasonal depression thing, but this movie just put that Christmas cheer in my heart.
This needs to become one of the Christmas classics that plays every year
This film really shows that hard work, showing kindness, and dedication can make a big difference.
I still cannot believe this movie lost to Toy Story 4.
Klaus: fully animated in 2D, took four/five years to make, had over 40 animators and 300+ employees, an entirely independent movie, fully established, fleshed out characters, a compelling story and narrative.
Toy Story: just because it's made by Pixar makes it automatically great.
Look, I absolutely adore Pixar (except for Cars 2 and The Good Dinosaur) but if the Oscar's are just giving out their awards in cereal boxes like that, then movies like Klaus should deserve more recognition.
Still can't believe this was beaten by Toy Story 4
I just watched this movie last night it felt so refreshing I really loved it and the animation also it felt like a remake of empties new grove which was my all time favorite movie as a child 😊😊
I want to know the voice of the little girl
Here it is =)
th-cam.com/video/C854GyGG70g/w-d-xo.html
I have seen this movie and it's true that it is emotional. It makes me feel happy. I got tears in the ending and the song.
This movie was nominated an Oscar for the best animation movie and the movie is originally a Spanish movie with the animation of a famous Spanish animator Sergio Pablo.
I just want to say that it is a good and emotional christmas movie with 2d animation.
Merry christmas.🎄🎄🎄😊😊😊
i have to admit the moment that i started shedding tears is when it dawned on me that Margu was like a soulful adoptive Granddaughter to Klaus and the reason why is because the Kids in town can't understand the Sami language, she speaks so Klaus Secret is always safe plus Klaus finally was able to have a Joyful Child in his Home from time to time 😭😭
The crisp, clean animation style here is on another level and well told story.
the ending always gets me. like it hits me hard and I don't know why. " what I do know is that once a year, I get to see my friend" cue ugly cry
yknow i thought it couldve been cool if lydia had red hair/was an ellingboe. like hinting at a forbidden romance between them which could also be the reason they live so far away from the town
I love this movie, to the point I even look at it with nostalgia.
Makes me kinda mad that it didn't got an Oscar. It deserved it.
True, first time I watched it I thought I traveled back in time.
Turns out it was what they were all going for, using a 2D that looks like 3D artstyle. This is my first taste of traditional-modern animation hybrid, and I'm craving for more creativity from all animation studious. Kudos to SPA. They did great here.
i hope the studio and team that made this decide to do other holidays in thi style. style as in like how the legend/story of the holiday is formed like halloween, easter, valentines and such. for sure klaus did a great job telling the idea/story of how santa claus became a thing and as the word spread the story of him is told down to future generations.
I love your JK Simmon breakdown, never change ahahhaah
It’s so embarrassing lololol
@@thebestofstephx we’ve all been there
Have a happy holiday. I wish you and your family well 😄
okay but you using carol of the bells in the background aka my favourite holidays related song elevated this video for me
also, i just love this movie so much and i loved seeing you genuinely enjoy it
Love this movie. One of my favorites. Thanks for reviewing it.
I watched this movie alone and depressed in my dorm room last year after burning myself out. When it finished I was like, “hey, that was pretty good” and I watched it again.
I passed out and woke up being shaken by two friends who had broken into my dorm room to bring me to dinner four hours later.
Moral of the story: Klaus rocks and will cure your depression.
i saw thi yesterday for the first time and wowowow im obsessed. its so beautiful! and a great new spin on christmas
This movie was so surprising. I didn't expect it to be so good!
Watched this a couple days ago, and I had exactly the same reaction you had. Instant Xmax classic, thank you for your video, I'm subscribing
Woot! I waited till I had time to watch the movie and then this video. Just finished the movie and just finished this ^__^ It's so lovely!!! Defo an amazing holiday movie. I had actually forgotten about this movie, having seen a trailer some time ago, and then I saw it was on netflix but it didn't click that it was that movie, I thought it was something else. Then, after you uploaded this, I was like wait, this is THAT movie! Ohhhh! And here we are ^__^ Defo while watching I was like omg this is such a cute moment, to many moments, and was excited to see your reactions to them. Loved this! Happy holidays!! : )
Been putting off watching this till I saw your video and thought why bot watch it then come back
OMG THANK YOU ANIMATION IS SOOOOOO GORGEOUS AND I...I LOVED ALL OF I MEAN THE MIX OF CLASSIC 2D AND 3D and LITTLE MARGU AHHHHHH THX xxxx :-)
Even though I don't celebrate them, still happy holidays.
P.S. I hope you watch a show called Transformers: Animated, I know that the franchise might not have the best track record due to a certain set of movies, but really I hope you watch this it's really different from the franchise and is just a really solid action show.
This movie was too f**king beautiful! I haven't got this emotional watching a Christmas movie since the Christmas Shoes
I watched this film this past christmas and I loved it so much! It's one of my favourite christmas movies for sure and the background art and animation is so freaking beautiful. I love that Sami people were reprisented because as a finnish person I haven't seen a lot of that even though I myself am not part of the community but it's so awesome to see representation for their culture :)
The fact that we don't recognize J.K. Simmons speaks volumes about how much of a great voice actor he is.
I honestly would not look at the details about the voice acting. Let them surprise you at the end and appreciate their performance.
ROBIN WILLIAMS hated that studios used his name to hype their movies.
you should definitely watch She-Ra and the Princess of power and Steven universe! Both are very well driven stories including infinity train! (Which ik it’s already on your list!)
Hell yeah to both! I'd also strongly recommend Avatar the Last Airbender (show, NOT the movie for the love of God!), And since Sokka's VA is in The Dragon Prince, I'd recommend that show too while we're at it!
Amazing reaction!! This movie makes me so emotional ;_;
I JUST WATCHED THIS MOVIE FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY AND NOW YOU TOO??😱 this is actual magic
My mom and I watched this movie last year. I wasn't into it at first but it free on me. I can safely say it's really good
ALSO yess Definitely emperor Kusco I really couldn't put my finger on it
Oh man, I'd love to see you react to The Prince of Egypt if ya haven't already seen it! Do you have movie/show recommendation polls?
Prince of Egypt is one of my allllll time favorite movies. I definitely want to do a commentary on it at some point
This movie should have won Best Animated Feature instead of Toy Story 4
I remember when J first watched this movie last year and ended up getting emotional too it's such a beautiful movie and Magú was so precious too me 💖💖💖🎉🎉🎉🥰🥰🥰This movie really warmed my heart
2:02 YES, EXACTLY! And I love it 😄🤣
I've watched his film so many times,I cry really bad every time, it's a wonderful film.
This👏🏾is👏🏾my👏🏾new👏🏾favourite👏🏾Christmas 👏🏾movie👏🏾of👏🏾all👏🏾time
Klaus follows the wind because he believe it is his dead wife, and throughout the movie, she helps him complete what Jester wants.
Well... Thanks to you I now know why Tenzin sounded so familliar, thank you for that
I love this movie
18:28 wait-! I've never noticed!😱 This was so wholesome to watch again...🥰🥺 (also thw wind was Lydia.)
If you liked this, I also recommend: Arthur Christmas. A nice animated christmas movie sadly not that many know about ...
Seeing an adult Margu made me cry. This was so nice! It felt like Jesper became a really good uncle for her)
I am so glad you reacted to this movie!! I just love it so much!!
I LOVE this movie! And me and dad interpreted the wind as being his wife and because they brought a little magic into the world, the world gave a little magic back to them.
I love this movie to bits and cannot watch it without crying. it gives me so much joy to see someone enjoying it like I did
I think one of the best things about the film, was that they got and use real children for the voices
makes them sound more genuine and of course cute.
I think the wind is a symbolism for the spirit of Klaus’s wife
This one became an instant yearly watch for me
Santa wants pictures of Spider-man!
I know it'd probably be better to say Klaus wants them, but Santa just makes the line funnier.
margu the sami is too cuteee
This film was 2D animated digitally, but used a process of tools to 3D render shapes and lighting as reference for the artists and animators.
Whereas on the flip side, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was a 3D animated movie that was designed and processed to look 2D.
Very similar to Joulutarina, especially the finale.
Operation Christmas Drop, Journey back to Christmas, The Santa Clause (1994), Elf (2003), Home Alone, Miracle on 34th Street, Borrowed Hearts, Sons of Mistletoe, Northpole and Northpole: Open for Christmas
in Myth if a human achieves a certain amount of true greatness and selflessness they can be invited to transcend to a higher plain of existence instead of dying which is what i think happened with Klaus at the end
I would die for Margu. She's so precious.
If Jesper doesn't get the specified amount of letters, his father is throwing him out onto the street. It's not a problem to the people of Smeerensburg, or us. It's a problem for Jesper.
Margu is actually speaking the Sami language, and what she's saying is often pretty funny. Her 'conversation' with Jesper is a prime example. You can find a translated dubbed version of that scene here on TH-cam. It's pretty clear she understands english, just doesn't speak it from that conversation. XD.
Who rewatches her avatar videos? Cause I do ☺️👍🏼
I freaking love this movie it’s made of pure wholesome beauty and I love it
Here is probably not the right place to say this but I just watched your "Legend of Korra" reactions and wanted you to know that, as far as I know, there exists a book 5 in comic form.
I would love to see it animated one day. We would see Korra and Asami's trip to the spirit world. Maybe you could do a reaction to the graphic novel of book 5?
Music starts playing, tears start welling up, I don't know what it is, I can't explain it.
