Klaus

The wonderful Rashida Jones voices a teacher who could become a love interest for Jesper. And any movie that casts Norm Macdonald as a cynical boat captain who sounds exactly like Norm MacDdnald is all right by me.

It's awkward and weird, and yet all that awkwardness and weirdness give it personality and charm and a freewheeling, nonsensical quality that feels refreshing.

Though there are some narrative blips in Klaus born out of a premise that is maybe just a little too complex for a 97-minute film, the movie is absolutely beautiful.

None of the characters in Klaus are as delightful as they are well-drawn, and Pablos' film never earns the holiday spirit it tries to manufacture down the home stretch.

Sure to become a holiday favorite in many homes, it's warm, sweet, and fantastically funny.

Its very construction inspires hope, that there's new life to be found in a dying method.

A beautiful animation with a unique spin on the origin of many of our beloved Christmas traditions.

The acts of kindness that [Klaus] talks about are just as important as everything else. I’ll surely make it a tradition to watch this film on Christmas Day.

It has a splendid animation that serves as a background to rewrite the myth of Santa Claus with some nice characters that reach their most emotional point in their Christmas portrait of kindness and the value of selfless acts. [Full review in Spanish]

We've seen these stories a million times, but there's something about Klaus' animation that makes it very special and unique, add it to its genre-bending story and you get a precious Christmas film. [Full review in Spanish]
