About Klaus (film) in brief
Klaus is a 2019 English-language Spanish 2D-animated Christmas comedy film written and directed by Sergio Pablos in his directorial debut. Co-written by Zach Lewis and Jim Mahoney, the film stars the voices of Jason Schwartzman, J. K. Simmons, Rashida Jones, Will Sasso, Neda Margrethe Labba and Joan Cusack. The plot revolves around a postman stationed in an island town to the Far North who befriends a reclusive toymaker. Klaus was released on 8 November 2019 and received positive reviews for its animation, story, and vocal performances. It won seven awards at the 47th Annie Awards, including Best Animated Feature, and also won Best Animated Film at the 73rd British Academy Film Awards. The film was also nominated at the 92nd Academy Awards for Best animated Feature, making it the first animated film from Netflix to be nominated for an Academy Award, alongside Missing Link and I Lost My Body, but lost to Toy Story 4. The movie was released by Netflix on November 8, 2019 and is available on Blu-ray, DVD, and Blu-Ray Combo packs, as well as on iTunes, Google Play, Amazon, and Vudu.
It is the first Netflix animated film to be released in the UK, and the first in the U.S. to have been released in both English and Spanish. The story is based on an alternate origin story of Santa Claus independent from the historical take of Saint Nicholas of Myra and using a fictional 19th-century setting. Jesper Johansson, the lazy, spoiled son of the Royal Postmaster General, has been trying to flunk out of the postman academy, but his father sends him to the distant town of Smeerensburg. Desperate for letters, Jesper attempts to mail a young Krum boy’s drawing. He later visits the reclusive woodsman Klaus and discovers his house is filled with handmade toys, but flees from the imposing woodsman, leaving behind the sad drawing. The myth of Klaus grows among the town’s children as Jesper delivers toys through their chimneys at night.
