"Welcome to the jingle"
When Jesper distinguishes himself as the Postal Academy's worst student, he is sent to Smeerensburg, a small village located on an icy island above the Arctic Circle, where grumpy inhabitants barely exchange words, let alone letters. Jesper is about to give up and abandon his duty as a postman when he meets local teacher Alva and Klaus, a mysterious carpenter who lives alone in a cabin full of handmade toys.

Wow, very warming and refreshing Christmas movie. Ideal to watch during the Christmas season. A topper and one of the better to best animations I've seen. In addition to the beautiful drawing style with an eye for a lot of detail (The wind, the spider in the web, the fish shop, ...) also a very strong script.
The story is clever in the sense that it starts with the origin of Santa Claus in the far north, somewhere in Lapland. Everything we now know about the myth of Santa Claus and about the message he brings is nicely reconstructed in this film. Good interweaving also with the Sami people. However, the first part of the film is very gray and bitter and I didn't quite know what the intention was. A bit scary also for the little ones with the brutal people and angry dogs that can be seen in the town.
Fascinating characters too, here and there a funny note and made very atmospheric. In short, a very successful film. Recommended! Only downside maybe the typical zero-hero and vice versa cliché, although I don't understand what can be blamed on Jesper. Isn't it normal that his intention (initially) was to collect 6000 letters and leave as soon as possible?

Very nice, smoothly told and beautifully animated Christmas film. Great voice cast too. The story is on the predictable side, but the characters are so likeable and the atmosphere so irresistible that it doesn't matter. The film hits just the right note. Probably going to become a real Christmas classic and it deserves it.

Klaus is a Christmas film that mainly reminds me of beautiful animation and beautiful music. The story is not everyday and that is why it is so special. This is a very successful movie!
