Critics Consensus

Beautiful hand-drawn animation and a humorous, heartwarming narrative make Klaus an instant candidate for holiday classic status.

Richard Roeper

Chicago Sun-Times

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.

Rated: 3/4

New York Magazine/Vulture

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.

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.

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

The acts of kindness that [Klaus] talks about are just as important as everything else. I’ll surely make it a tradition to watch this film on Christmas Day.

Rated: 10/10

It has a splendid animation that serves as a background to rewrite the myth of Santa Claus with some nice characters that reach their most emotional point in their Christmas portrait of kindness and the value of selfless acts. [Full review in Spanish]
