Before we begin, check out my post on Klaus on my other blog, Before I Go See It.
Now, on with the show.
If you haven't checked out this brand new Christmas gem on Netflix, check it out now.
I said it before, and I'll say it again. This is the remake to the Ranken & Bass story we deserve. It is filled with outstanding humor, gut-punching moments, and heart-warming moments that will make you tear up inside.
The animation is absolutely beautiful. It almost had a magical feel it despite being almost devoid of magic.
It is really nice that it didn't rely on much narration and exposition dumps. There was enough narration to set up the story and rest unfolded on its own. The little tidbits that Santa Claus is known for were placed where they weren't forced. They just happened on accident, and it stuck. That was a nice touch not really seen in other films.
It was a touching story that kept the spirit of Christmas high while delivering what I hope to become a new Christmas classic. Plus it teaches young children how one selfless act of kindness can always spark another.
