I adore Klaus very much. It's such a beautiful Christmas movie telling how it all started with a simple letter that changed everything and everyone. When I saw it for the first time, I was amazed by the gorgeous art style and visuals and the story about a pampered man who has to deliver 6000 letters in a year on an island that is dangerous and met a toy maker named Klaus was a very well thought out and interesting story. So please, I highly recommend this movie when you have the chance. You will be smiling and crying for how magical and thoughtful that movie is.

It’s equal parts “Die Hard” meets “Home Alone” with the right amount of gory action and Christmas spirit.

Home Alone helps teach us that while family members can drive each other nuts sometimes, they are still family and will go to great lengths to keep each other safe. If the whole McAllister family went to Paris as intended, they would have come home to a completely destroyed house with broken windows caused by the Wet Bandits, but that's unrelated. In the first act of the film, Kevin says he hates his family because he is seen as the scapegoat by or the "problem child" to the rest of the family, and wishes that he didn't have a family. He gets his wish the next afternoon when Mitch Murphy from across the street is mistakenly counted as Kevin, and initially enjoys living with no family. But on Christmas Eve, he walks down the street and sees other families getting together with extended relatives for dinner, making him miss his family and wants nothing more than to be with them again, even if they do get on his nerves from time to time. We also see the other side and how much of a pain Kevin can be to other members of the family, but at the end of the day they still see him as part of their family and do what they can to return back home to him.
