Review of Klaus (2019) by Ajzeg01 — 10 Jan 2020
Only Netflix would have the guts to put out a hand-drawn animated film in 2019. This Santa Claus origin movie is awesome! It’s heartwarming, original (for the most part, there were some elements that reminded me a little of The Emperor’s New Groove or Megamind), funny and the animation is amazing! If I could describe it, well, do you remember the Disney short Paperman? You know, the one where they shaded CGI animation to make it look hand-drawn? Well, Klaus is the opposite.
It’s hand-drawn animation that is shaded to look like CGI. I’ve never seen this style before and it looks great! It’s so colourful and well-designed. The voice acting and the writing is really damn good too! Honestly, there are only a couple issues I have.
Some of the music choices and what little CGI this movie does use seem out-of-place, but other than that this might be the best Christmas movie since Arthur Christmas. It’s certainly the year’s best animated movie, and the best animated movie in general since Into the Spider-verse.
