    After watching this, I'm very glad how respectful the movie was with regards to the Sámi, definitely the best representation of us in media in recent years. Certainly helps that the movie is also all in all excellent, not just in this aspect.
    As a Sámi myself and hearing there's going to be a christmas movie having Sámi representation, I first had very complicated feelings about it. Being an arctic people living in Lapland (northernmost parts of Finland, Sweden and Norway) the tourism business has since at least the 70's been exploiting our culture - especially the booming christmas tourism. The industry created a narrative for tourists that our people have very close ties to Santa, being "his little helpers" since our colorful traditional garb can be interpreted as christmas-y. The implication of that was that our people was also fictious (basically elfs), which in turn turned to open season for everyone to mimic and mis-interpret our culture to fit their own narratives (I'm looking at you, new-age shamanistic spiritualists making a mockery of our traditions and mythology). It kinda snowballed from there.
    It's better nowadays, but I've still met people (not just tourists but also Finns and Swedes) who think the Sámi are just a story like Santa. Or a dead culture lost to time, and are very surprised to learn we still have a living, breathing culture alive today.

    50:36 About the ghost thingy, in theory, Santa has always being dead, “Santa” comes from “Saint” and you can’t be a saint if you are not dead, in Christianity people can only get officially declared saints after dying, the tradition of Santa Claus (not the Klaus from this movie, I mean the traditional Santa Claus that we know) is based on Saint Nicholas of Myra, a Christian Bishop who had an habit of secretly giving gifts, so yeah, Santa has always being a spirit if you think about it, haha

    Something about the animation, although very different, and the look of Jesper reminds me of another christmas staple: "The Christmas Eve of Karl-Bertil Jonsson" (original Swedish title "Sagan om Karl-Bertil Jonssons Julafton"). It's an animated short movie from 1975, written by the legend Tage Danielsson and I highly recommend it. It's shown every year on christmas eve and I look forward to it so much every year.

    I always manage to keep it together for the entire film, but Jesper's delivery of the very last line makes me burst into tears.

    Interesting fact: this movie lost in the Acadamy Awards, to Toy Story 4. Most people believe it's because this was never a theatre movie, it just went straight to Netflix. And it was up against Disney.

    The director of Klaus was also an animator for treasure planet. You can actually see the references from jesper's appearance to margu's sled.

    I'm brazilian, and I don't remember ever writing to Santa, but in my family, we spent Christmas at my grandparents' house since the 80's (when most of the grandchildren were born) and at midnight one of my uncles or my father (mostly my father) dressed as Santa and appeared to give out all the presents to everyone (not only the kids), I'm a woman and when I was a teen, I even became Santa one year because at the time there were no kids anymore, so it was just for the laughs (my aunt was pregnant at the time and I almost made her piss her pants with laughter - which wouldn't be hard, cause, pregnant LOL). My grandparents passed away in 2020 and 2022 and now everyone spends christmas at other places, but my father still dresses as Santa to go to my cousin's house and give out presents to my cousin's children!

    This movie is definitely the new all time classic that will stand the test of time. It doesn't try to play too much into the magical aspect of Santa, and told a realistic story (for a cartoon) of the origin of the Santa mythos, of how a myth form over time and through rumors. Even the ending doesn't explicitly say "And he ascend to become actual Santa." The film respect the audience enough to let them make their own conclusion as to whether the magic is real or that it simply live on in the heart and mind of others.

    I saw this movie, I think around the time it was released and not that I forgot it was excellent or anything, but I had really forgotten how - I don't know, magical it felt. Your reaction made me really want to watch the movie again!
    I also loved how they established that larger-than-life quality to Klaus in this story; he’s someone who won’t be easy pickings for this crazy, war, blood-feuding town and I just loved how even the dogs were like - “nope not going to mess with him;” because once he warmed up - that larger-than-life quality remained, but in the more traditional Santa Claus way it has existed before.
    It was just, well-done storytelling.

    the film is majority 2d with some 3d elements like sleighs and buildings, the 3d lighting effects were achieved using an interpolation software called "Klaus Light and Shadow" created for the film.
    here's an example of the animation before and after applying the software
    the director said they wanted to mimic the style of original Disney cartoons to create a nostalgic feel

    I love this movie... every time I watch it, it makes me tear up. Even when I'm just watching a reaction... even one that I'm watching after _another_ reaction to Klaus, which _also_ made me tear up. The part that hits me the hardest is right at the end when it says, "All I know is that once every year, I get to see my friend."
    I also love that the matriarch of the Krum family was the villain from Adams Family Values XD

    If you like the art style, check out Pascal Campion. He helped Sergio Pablos with the pitch book and influenced the art direction. His drawings/paintings have the same feel as the movie.
