Klaus - Group Reaction

[@femoman]

Fun trivia fact: the girl who played the Sami girl, Margu, is actually Sami, and didn't speak English, so apparently a lot of Jesper and Margu's conversations are based on ones between the actress and the director, where they'd chat happily despite neither really understanding what the other was saying :D

Yeah the emmys are such a joke. Klaus took a huge risk trying to get 2d animation back on the road, which is dying since the 2000s. By using new techniques and a software they developed themselves, they proved that 2d animation could still hold in the western entertainment industry.

Fun facts; Klaus is a 2019 English-language Spanish (Spain) animated Christmas film written and directed by Sergio Pablos in his directorial debut, produced by his company.

[@simonbright8784]

Klaus is a marvel of animation and a breath of fresh air with its style and energy. A new favourite Christmas film for our family. While not in any way christmas like, I'd love to see you all watch any or all of the Cartoon Saloon animated movies. As an Irishman it brings me such glee at having every movie nominated, only to lose out to a Disney, Pixar or Dreamworks movie, especially from such an independent studio.

[@sammundi8235]

This is my favorite Christmas movie of all time. Makes me cry all the time, especially that little Sami girl scene. This movie is very heartfelt and brings me back to such joyous feelings. It reminds you that giving, love, and care for your fellow man can mean so much. Plus the payoff of stabbing carrot girl is so worth it.

[@phousefilms]

You were wise to watch this. I saw the movie in passing on Netflix and I thought "Eh, it looks like it could be fun.." Now it's one of my favourite Christmas movies. I love the message of the story and the two factions starting to show friendship to the others. RIP Norm Macdonald(the Ferryman).

The Sámi people are an indigenous Finno-Ugric-speaking people inhabiting the region of Sápmi (formerly known as Lapland), which today encompasses large northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and of the Murmansk Oblast, Russia, most of the Kola Peninsula in particular. Their traditional languages are the Sámi languages, which are classified as a branch of the Uralic language family. Traditionally, the Sámi have pursued a variety of livelihoods, including coastal fishing, fur trapping, and sheep herding. Their best-known means of livelihood is semi-nomadic reindeer herding.

[@ManSeekingMeaning]

This was a dope reaction and surprisingly good Christmas movie! The voice acting and animation style were fantastic and the unique twist on Christmas was fun. For anyone else who voted for Die Hard, in case you’re wondering, they explain in the beginning that Die Hard clearly won the poll, but they’ve all seen it and none of them have seen Klaus (which their internal team recommended), hence this reaction instead. I can appreciate that reasoning, though one then considers that they’ve all seen Home Alone and HA2 and still reacted? Eh. Seems a bit inconsistent, but who cares! This gives us reason to finally watch and enjoy this flick. It’s been on the radar for a while but I never got around to it.

[@semperferusartist]

I think I've watched this film at least five times (every year at christmas since it came out and maybe once or twice other times). I still can't go through the whole film without crying at one part or another. It's well written, well cast, and the art style of the animation is so good. Was really hoping it would pull off an Oscar, but of course it was against Toy Story 4 and hard to beat something Disney/Pixar puts out, but on a creativity level I think Klaus knocked it out.

[@TheFrugalVideoGamer]

That ending may be as near to perfect as I've seen out of a Christmas movie. Also, it's one of the few movies where the moral of treating your enemies well never gets even *partially* broken by the leads - even when Jesper thinks that the toys have been demolished by Mrs. Krum, he keeps his cool and simply points out that things are improving, and there's no stopping it no matter how hard they might try.

When I first saw this movie and saw this scene (29:17 - 31:00), I immediately called it the *'Your Name'* scene, because the music is so similar to the song Sparkle. Also, Klaus's animation studio SPA Studios needs to work on a future Makoto Shinkai film. Combining their individual strengths (implementing SPA's 3D lighting and texturing on Shinkai's character designs and lush backgrounds) would create the most beautiful-looking animated film ever made.

26:24 okay so fun fact, I remember hearing that the idea of santa clause was inspired by some sort of Bishop known for his generosity and secret gift giving and eventually was made into a sort of saint hence Saint Nick being one of the names Santa Clause was known for. In any case Christmas has been a thing long before Santa Clause was, it has origins in Norse and Greek festivals but Christians eventually adopted the rituals as a way to celebrate the birth of Jesus. I believe that generally speaking during the time the film portrays it was still used to celebrate Jesus hence why you can see some people singing Silent Night when the town gets together for the festival later on. I do have to wonder if they'd still celebrate separately with their own clans or not at all being too focused on their feuds had Jesper not came along and came up with his scheme
