3/4
The wonderful Rashida Jones voices a teacher who could become a love interest for Jesper. And any movie that casts Norm Macdonald as a cynical boat captain who sounds exactly like Norm MacDdnald is all right by me. Go to Full Review

It's awkward and weird, and yet all that awkwardness and weirdness give it personality and charm and a freewheeling, nonsensical quality that feels refreshing. Go to Full Review

Though there are some narrative blips in Klaus born out of a premise that is maybe just a little too complex for a 97-minute film, the movie is absolutely beautiful. Go to Full Review

Kris S 12/19/2024 Phenomenal movie - This should be considered one of the true Christmas classics. I am extremely appreciative that Netflix granted the theater permission to play it. I also pray that this movie is made available on disc someday - it truly deserves to be seen everywhere Christmas is celebrated. See more Mason J @MovieWatcher2000 1d Klaus is THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIE EVER!!! Not only is the animation gorgeous, but the charecters are wonderfully made with personalities that all change jurastically. Other than the clan leaders, there isn't a single static charecter. The twists and turns throughout the movie add to its charm and Jesper does a full 180 on his personality and it is a delite to see. Please do yourself a favor and watch this master piece. If you already have, fut it on an annual watch list because youre never gonna wanna forget this movie! See more @KtanBrik 3d Surprisingly interesting. See more John S. @JohnnyNature 4d 5 Christmases in a row have I watched this movie and it’s never failed to deliver that hot coco holiday spirit. It’s beautiful, hilarious, and emotional. Can’t wait to share this with my children and be reminded by the main message: one acts of kindness sparks another. This deserves all the awards and is in my all time top Christmas movies. If you haven’t seen it yet, do yourself a favor and watch it this holiday season. See more Neil M @Egmawesome 4d Never-seen-before original idea Beautiful animation in a fun, exaggerated style incredible execution Heartwarming story Should be a Christmas classic, See more @MacSlaw Dec 16 Excellent animation, likable and wacky characters, decent character building and a beautifully crafted story makes Klaus one of the best modern Christmas movies i've watched.
