Because you mentioned it: Santa Claus is based on a saint that lived hundreds of years ago in what is now Turkey ! St. Nikolaus (or Nicholas/ Niklas) was a bishop in a region where in his time there were many people that lived in poverty. So because as a bishop he had the means he gave food to the poor - the legend goes that at night he personally went to every home in the poor part of his city and left fruits and nuts and money for them on the window sills and in the shoes standing outside their doors - and he was made a saint for helping the poor like this. This is why on December 5th children in countries where that tradition still exists will put their boots in front of their doors and come morning - December 6th, Saint Nikolaus‘ Day - they’ll find their boots filled with fruits and nuts and sometimes small gifts . (Traditionally people put clementines, figs and various nuts (mostly peanuts for some reason) in the boots, as well as chocolate. But some people also put gifts or money in there) . The story of Santa Claus like he exists today in the US and Britain ,though, was stitched together from Saint Nikolaus‘ story and legends of other ‚Christmas People‘ (like the Christmas witch Bofana, the Christ child, Knecht Ruprecht or Saint Lucia) to serve as a Christmas mascot for a marketing strategy by Coca Cola - the invention of the Santa Claus mascot worked wonders for their sales which is why Coca Cola still is especially fond of using the whole Santa aesthetic during Christmas even now. Not quite as magical, unfortunately, but still interesting imo.

[@nkbujvytcygvujno6006]

Yes, thank you for the little history lesson. I actually really appreciate this.

[@Fleedermauws]

St.Nicholas is also very different from the one everyone knows thanks to the Coca-Cola marketing. He was very slim and had green clothes. He was quite old and not really joyuous either. You could see different and very variating depictions of St. Nicholas before Coca-Cola started to make one universal design, which is the warm, round shaped, full beard, smiling santa we all know! (They made him smile like that so he would look fa rmore friendly to sell more drinks). thought it would be interesting to add this to the info you gave ^^

[@tfly999]

He's also the patron saint of prostitutes! No, really. The story goes that a poor man couldn't afford dowry for his three daughters, so they wouldn't be able to marry and the typical fate for such disposed women was prostitution. St. Nicholas left three bags of gold on the window-still to pay for their dowry, though later that changed to him 'tossing it down the chimney', which led to yet another popular aspect of the Santa Klaus legend.

[@Pollicina_db]

Don’t forget about the pickle boys!!!! French even have a christmas song about them😂

[@heartdahyun]

Fun Fact: This movie was *hand-drawn* (Except for a few times where CGI was necessary)

[@alexkramerblogs]

They used a whole process where they did build out 3D renders for how to block out the scene and lighting, but then the animators used those as references for their 2D version of the stills.

[@alexkramerblogs]

As a reversal: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was a 3D rendered movie that took great lengths to look like 2D.

[@leonamintstar6017]

@Kenneth Quinn ...Huh?

[@mikey_m114]

this movie immediately became a holiday movie that I’m gonna watch every year - I can’t wait to watch the movie again and bawl my eyes out

[@unknown_limes]

The scene with the sled for the little girl, that's what animation does better than live-action. That's what sets the two apart. It's simply gorgeous. And fun fact about her entire tribe, their clothing is based on actual traditional eastern European clothing, I think specifically Romanian but don't quote me on that.

[@Fleurig-xr5mm]

Aren't the people sami people? a tribe in scandinavia (northern Europe)

[@VoidDreamkiller]

it's the sami people, a lot of them live far north in Norway and other parts of Scandinavia.

[@jorgegruber728]

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.🎄🎄🎄😊😊😊

[@likatik8145]

Merry Christmas to you to 🎅 🤶

[@FreggFaerie]

This movie made me cry so much, and as a lover of art, the animation style had my eyes locked on the screen for every moment. 10/10, possibly my favorite Xmas movie 🙌

[@mckenzie.latham91]

What i always loved about this film was that they got actual child actors for the children’s voices, so they all sound so more authentic and cute.

[@finland4ever55]

And the Sami girl is actually speaking her language. In fact the voice actress couldn't speak English at all but they somehow still managed to understand her.

[@lizaharris5930]

when you asked what is their beef with the postman: I think the kids are just mean to him to be mean. I don't think they are targeting him for any particular reason.

[@em01455]

For anyone curious the little girl who lived far from the town and her family and tribe are meant to be the Sami people. They are an indigenous group in Scandinavia.

[@lettylunasical4766]

The original 'santa' is a mix of Saint Nicholas (a Greek bishop in Asia during the Roman era). Apparently he annonymously gave gifts to the poor and vulnerable for years (before being outed, to his annoyance). He also is tied into a medieval pagan/christianised figure associated with yule and merry making during the winter celebrations. He was turned into father christmas around about the victorian period and then became red and white due to coca cola.

[@chokichocat3083]

You’re telling me Santa Claus is a pagan figure that represents the Devil? God shall deliver us from evil. That’s why I never let my kids celebrate that pagan holiday. I wonder why they never visit me though…….😂🎉🎉🎉😂🎉😂🎉

[@hotdogwater9060]

the first time watching it i was 14 and i thought it was just a cute lil movie. now I'm 17 and I've seen it again and i had to battle tears. so much bs has happened to me since, that even the smallest piece of genuine kindness makes me tear up. and the childish wholesomeness, the superb voice acting and stellar screenplay and animation just takes it to another level. I'll def be watching the movie with my kids, and when they ask me why I'm crying, I'll just say it's too beautiful not to.

[@DI-QueenmoEMino]

Klaus is one of my most recent favorite animated Christmas Movie ever. What I love so much about this film is that you can feel all of the love and hard work SPA Studios along with Sergio Pablos and his team put into this movie with every single amazing beautiful details they did, Also with the research they put into the movie with its northern Nordic European backstory within it. Which makes sense since the mythos /legend of Santa did first start within Scandinavian culture, But really this movie is such a great animated treat like I'm glad it won at the 2020 Annie Awards because it truly deserve it. :D

The colorfully clothed folks are Sami, indigenous people of northern Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. Historically they've had a pretty horrible time so it's nice they get some positive representation here. They are speaking the real language in the movie as well.

Okay, I'll say it: The filmmakers are well aware of the ship Klausper, and actually widely support it, even going as far as to share fan art for it among each other. I believe their words were that wasn’t the original intention, but they were flattered that fans saw it that way. Also that the fans made clear that it's meant to be taken as bi positivity.

Idk why exactly it just has that certain nice but slightly sad Christmas vibe to it? (I‘ve also seen people recommend ‚it’s a wonderful life‘ , which is definitely on the sad side of Christmas movies , and probably was the inspiration for ‚Family Man‘ , which is also a kind of sad/bittersweet one .)
