Movies: Klaus (2019)

A simple act of kindness always sparks another, even in a frozen, faraway place. When Smeerensburg’s new postman, Jesper, befriends toymaker Klaus, their gifts melt an age-old feud and deliver a sleigh full of holiday traditions. I have no idea how this movie flew under the radar for me, but wanting to tick a few more movies from the Top 250 IMDb list, I encounter this, and whoa! Lovely mix of hand-drawn and 3D techniques, a story about friendship, overcoming differences and inclusion without getting too political (it’s a kids’ movie, after all). With great voices from Jason Schwartzman, J.K. Simmons, Rashida Jones, Joan Cusack and Norm MacDonald, it delivers an hour and a half of thought-provoking, emotional story, wrapped in a visually mesmerizing experience. Six popcorns for this masterpiece that goes into the Movie Vault. See, Disney? Good movies for kids can still be made in 2025. To see all 30 photos, visit the article page.
