Hey everyone hope you enjoyed the reaction!! Also a special Happy Birthday once again to Ashley!! See you tomorrow for another surprise movie!!

And let's not forget, this film is hand-drawn, people. Hand-drawn animation brought these visuals to life.

They weren’t trying to make Klaus seem mean, that was Jesper’s perception of him

This is one of the most beautiful Christmas movie I have watched,I cried tears of both happiness and sadness by the end I'm not ganna lie 😭

Tha animation is absolutely gorgeous, and compliments these delightful characters and amazing story perfectly!

Fun fact: Sergio Pablos, the creator and director of the movie, was an old disney animator that work in a feel films like Hunchback of Notre Dame and Hercules. He was also the character animator of Tantor the elephant from Tarzan and Dr. Dopler from Treasure Planet (you can even recognize on Jesper's shock and scared faces that remind of Dr. Dopler)

Fun fact, Klaus was actually nominated for the Best Animated Feature Oscar in 2020, unfortunately it lost against Toy Story 4. It did won several Annies though, including Best Animated Feature.

Gotta love how the end implies Christmas didn't become "magical" like people associate it with until AFTER Klaus left.

Yay! This was honestly one of the best Christmas and animated movies I've seen; a true modern classic and hidden gem. Thank you for reacting to this, Nick!

This movie was really creatived on explaining where all the christmas traditions we know off come from (in this movie I mean) and a good reminder that christmas was something created waaaaay before Santa Claus

While it's not the most accurate backstory of Santa Claus, I love this one to bits. As well as what the ending doesn't really fully explain. The name Santa Claus can roughly translate to "Saint Klaus". And in Catholicism, you don't earn the title of "Saint" until death. Which it implies is indeed what happened to Klaus at the end. But that also means that he got to reunite with his wife, seemingly became "immortal", and is still carrying out his good work to this day. 💖 Awesome.

Oh man, I love Klaus! At first I thought it was another 3D animation, but I was so elated to discover that in was 2D animated, just with digital lighting and shading FX’s! I love this original concept of the legend of Santa Claus. The story is fresh, mostly unpredictable and it’s got a lot of heart and soul put into it. The characters are lot of fun (my favorites being Klaus and Margū) and the emotion of the film is beautiful, enough to get me in the feels. This film became one of my top favorite Christmas stories on day one and I still come back to it every Christmas season! Thanks SO much for covering this film, Nick!

Don’t you think Jesper looks a lot like Kuzco from the Emperor’s New Groove ? I think he does, especially with his sassy attitude and his arc about learning how not to be self centred and more respectful towards others. Even his friendship with Klaus got some Kuzco and Pacha vibes.

This movie hit me in so many ways. It's beautiful. I was surprised by the story, the characters, the humor, the emotion, the animation and I cry every time. It has become one of my favorite Christmas movies.

Sometimes the ones that stick the most with you are the slow burn plotlines. Definitely love it when I go from despising to adoring a character because of the arc they go through. It speaks to the power of the story that you thought it was a touch underwhelming at first and then you got drawn in later on. Thanks for letting us track the progress of your impression of the film!

Klaus is one of my favorite Christmas movies 😭 the animation is amazing and has originality and the story is pretttyyyy original 💜💜💜

I SCREAMED WHEN I SAW THIS! Klaus and Olive the Other Reindeer are my favorite Christmas movies (and movies in general). I watch this movie at least 70 times- I’m not exaggerating I watched it an hour ago and now I’m watching this and will prolly watch it again in another 2 hours when I wrap presents- and everytime I do, my reaction stays the same like the first time I’ve ever watched it. Screaming “SAPURREE!” And “INVISIBILLLLLL” has become an inside joke in the family. I’m so glad Nick has watched it. I’m still pissed it lost to the abomination known as Toy Story 4, because this movie is a masterpiece and truly deserves more acknowledgement, enjoyment, appreciation, and love ❤️

The movie is animated in 2D with 3D graffics and is super well done and amazing

This was one of the best Christmas movies I have ever seen and it is on NETFLIX! I don’t know how that is possible but congratulations Netflix.

This film is a must watch for my family around Christmas. I love J.K. Simons' Santa being kind but don't dare mess with him. I like Jesper getting closer and closer with Klaus.

I was drawn in because I found out that the director was one of the animators for treasure planet and I could see so many references to the movie in this. From jespers appearance to Margus sled which looks like Jim's solar surfer! This movie also introduced me to the Sámi people and their beautiful culture.

Klaus is such an amazing, magnificent movie that I’ve began watching every Christmas!

This movie is such an instant classic. Usually, the more I watch an emotional movie, I can resist it because I watch the reactors try not to cry, but this one still gets me every time. Love precious little Margu.

This is my favorite newer Christmas movie. Definitely rewatchable !

The build up in this film is very well done really helps emphasise the changes that jasper and klaus help encourage and the difference from the depessing gray beginning to the bright colourful ending is wonderful

So glad that the movie grew on you as it went along. This is one of my favorite modern versions of the origin of Santa. It's one that, since it came out, I've put on my watchlist every Christmas.

Fun fact, Jesper is voiced by Jason Schwartzman AKA Gideon from Scott Pilgrim VS the World.

This is something that I believe will become the kind of Christmas classic that we show our kids and then they show their kids someday. Something of interest regarding Margu - the filmmakers wanted to show the actual Saami people, so they actually found a Saami girl to voice the character and speak her lines in Saami.

In this movie, it seems that Christmas and the decorations with it have been a thing for a while before Santa and the legend Klaus and Jesper inspired. That's why they decorated that way: because Christmas was already a holiday before then. It was already a religious celebration and Jesper's plan to deliver one night a year on Christmas added Santa. Presents, in the movie, may have been a thing before Klaus anyway in reference to the gifts given by the three wise men/ the three kings on the night of the first Christmas. Idk I just really love this movie and have watched it every year since it came out. I've had alot of time to think about it.

I cried so hard when I saw this movie. Never had a movie made me act like that in my entire life, never saw it in full again. It's those films you have to watch at least once to remember it for how beautiful it was.

I've waited so long for your reaction to this film!! Can't wait to watch it!

Next to Krampus, this is one of Christmas movies I very much enjoy. It's a much more different take on the Santa lore, but very well done.

This really was an amazing movie. I was so happy with how it took the basic concept of it all and really just grew it all out in such an unexpected way. It really was just... amazing.

i personally loved how disappointed you were at the beginning. i was here evil laughing because i knew the moment it got to Klaus you were gonna feel like a 5 year old again muahahah.

I love how, like you said, the atmosphere for how dreary and menacing the place is and all the people. Even Klaus! But then the color starts to come in and life steadily returns to the world. It's just beautiful ❤️ Also it's subtle, but if you've ever seen the claymation classic Santa Clause is Coming to Town, there are so many references to it. Like it's another Santa origin story but it's a silly upbeat magical take you would expect from a kid's movie. As told by the Postman as the narrator, so it feels like that one is what Jesper would tell people and this is the "what really happened" take on it 😂

I love the animation in this movie, it's funny, and when me and my family and I first watched it I think I nearly cried. It's so good

Also such beautiful animation, i really miss 2D animations. They did a fantastic job!

First time i saw this movie it was a few weeks after my grandfather died. He was also a builder. He made my brother snd i a go-cart when we were kids (well, he made us help) and he made lots of little wooden cars and tinker toys and stuff. When i say i absolutely lost it the first time i saw this movie.... It still makes me cry. And miss my grandfather

I absolutely love the technical side of this animation as well! The studio's put out a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff on things like how the director went to visit the sami people and find a voice actress for Margu, or how the technical side of the animation was done (it's essentially 2D using 3D shading techniques that let it get away with this gorgeaous concept art level of detail) or various parts of the character design process. I really recommend checking them out.

YESSS!!! Such a beautiful movie im so glad you watched it! Hopefully more people do, everyone needs to see it

for anyone wondering what margu is saying: Can I get a toy? Could I also get one, please? hello post man Can you speak with me now, then? I have waited for (so) long Are you going to help me? Finally! I don't think you understand me you are a dummy I would really like a toy I like her, she's kind I would like a sleigh, a biiig sleigh He's a little bit of a dummy, right? (Margu) - Mom, dad! He came, he came! (Father) - Oh, what a nice sleigh! (Mother): It's cold, you should put on your hat. And don't sleigh too fast This is how you sleigh It was he who helped me (Father) - We heard that you might need help (Mother) - Thank you! You made her so happy (Father) - On three! One, two, three! Oh gosh, it barely fits (something) he is a big man What is happening? Jesper! Don't go, Jesper! Jesper, (I don't understand) You know that I can't understand you yet, right? (Man) - Good! That was the last present... be careful, be careful! Take it very slowly (Woman) - Why are they here?

You have no idea how happy I am you're watching this my long distant boyfriend moved to my country in 2019 and our first Christmas we watched this together and now we watch I every Christmas eve !!!

Recently I’ve made it a point to watch this and Arthur Christmas every year. Both are absolutely fantastic and instant classics in my opinion

Finally! I knew you'd react to this movie eventually! I'm so excited to see your reaction to this movie! :D

no matter how many times i see it, im always blown away by the visuals in this movie. great video!

I haven't watched it yet because I'm saving it for Christmas day but I already dropped a like. I KNOW I'm going to LOVE it. That is how much faith I have in Nick to bring genuine joy with a video. I can't wait to see this gem Christmas day! Sending you peace, love and season greetings ✌️💗🎊

What a nice surprise! I was like you when I first watched this movie, I wasn't so impressed at the beginning, but then it got better and better, and by the end, I loved it! I loved watching your shift in reaction from the start to the end, what fun! Thanks for reacting to this creative, heartwarming film. It's absolutely worth watching every Christmas season!

FINALLY! I've been waiting for you to react to this movie for a long time. Is one of my favorites

Yes!! Been waiting all year in hopes to see your react to this! Keep up the amazing work

This is one of my favorite Christmas movies, the animation is beautiful and the story is top-notch!

I heard this movie was like the top 10 movie and when I heard about it last year, I miss my chance to watching it. I have to wait another year finally this year. and it was worth it😁😁

This movie is, without any doubt or exaggeration, my favorite Christmas movie- I’m so excited that you watched it

i discovered this movie the Christmas it came out. i was drawn in at first by the animation style, and then BAM- right in the feels. It has replaced all other Christmas movies for me, its a beautiful origin story, that shows the ills of capitalism and consumerism, and brings Christmas back to a more humanistic, kind and community minded observance. It has really nice indigenous representation of the Sami people too, I cried a lot watching this the first time, and when i saw ur video come up in my feed i KNEW you would have a similar experience to me, went in blind, was interested then 100% sold:) Thanks again for sharing your reaction, i feel like I'm watching with a friend. Meri Kirihimete, e hoa! Arohanui from Aotearoa (Merry christmas and much love from New Zealand, friend)

I like to think, they had twelve years of Christmas with Klaus before he died, and that’s why we do the 12 days of Christmas now, to celebrate each year they had with him

This film is incredible. I love that for the first half of the movie you can't figure out what's going on. That's quite an accomplishment when so many stories are so predictable these days. The twist that keeps going throughout the film is that there is no magic and no Santa. It's the beginning of the legend and it's brilliant.

Klaus quickly became my favourite animated christmas film. The unique and amazing animation style, the characters, the writing, it's all so good.

I watched this movie 2 weeks ago for the first time and it got to me too. This is a really good movie showing the spirit of Christmas.

The end of this movie made me cry so much!! TTuTT

I love Christmas as well man, especially since where I am it snows. It's like enchanting in a way.

My favourite part of the movie is that they included Sami people (my people). Before recent years, being Sami was seen as shameful in Norway because of how the Norwegian government treated us. They basically tried to get rid of both the language and culture. Because of this we almost lost our Sami identity, only about 25 000 people speak the language today, but thankfully it’s gotten better and better in recent years. That’s exactly why this movie is so important Also, she’s colourful because she’s wearing our traditional clothing called “gákti”, it comes in different colours and styles depending on where you/your family are from!

I love your reaction so much! So joyful❤

My absolute favorite Christmas movie 😭💞 so excited! Happy holidays!

Yes! I was waiting for this! Happy to see you react to this

I've just started the video, but before it even kicks off, I am already so glad you're reacting to this, and this film is getting more attention. I watched it for the first time a couple of years ago, and absolutely fell in love with it, my favourite Christmas movie now.

This is one of my favourite Christmas movies, ever. I didn't even watch it in December the first time; it was last year during a terrible time in my life (oh if only I knew what 2022 would bring to me...), and it became my emotional support. I'll be making some Christmas cookies next week to watch it with some cola de mono (a traditional drink we have over here). I love your honest reactions, and how much you appreciate every detail. I cried so much at the end and I'm sure I will cry again because of it very soon.

Please react to Love Actually! It’s a Christmas film and it’s honestly the biggest cast and biggest Christmas film ever in my opinion. So well made!

I remember seeing a very rough pencil test advertising this project back in like 2011. So proud of Sergio and his team!!! 🎉💖

Loved to see the transformation of your reaction throughout the film. Great movie

This movie is a classic in the making. 20 years from now I will still be watching it. The kid playing with the frog scene reminded me so much of Rise of the Guardian scene where North is telling Jack how his center is wonder and bringing that wonder into the world. Oh fun fact the actress for Mrs. Krum is Debbie, Joan Cusack, from Addams Family Values! And this movie was the origin for Santa Claus/Saint Nick/North/Klaus not Christmas/Yuletide those two holidays have been around longer. Jesper even mentions Christmas time indicating Christmas was going to happen regardless of Klaus delivering gifts.

This movie is special truly something... magical honestly. I am so happy you loved this in the end. Thank you again for all the wonderful content i absolutely love it and happy holidays everyones

Oh I love that you watched this movie! This has become one of my top favorite Christmas movies and I watch it every year, even if its not Christmas time! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :D

And why does the letter get blown to him some people say the wind that he blows it to him is actually his dead wife and that that the reason why the wind wants him to help the postman is his wife trying to help him move on from her death that's why in this movie Santa Claus become Santa Claus it's like some weird destiny thing and it smells likely he became an outcast in the society cuz he was different than everyone else since marriage also it's interesting in real life he was a Christian pope of Turkey

I love the animation style. Sometimes you cant tell its 2d. I also like the Saami representation.

Nick, I remember when I first suggested that you react to this film, and I'm so freaking ecstatic to see that you've finally seen it! This film is so underrated, and I want it to get more exposure. Thank you for watching Klaus.

After watched this movie when it came out. It became my favourite Christmas movie

Since you did make a comment about how, "Since this was a Netflix Movie, I didn't expect the animation to rival Disney or Pixar," a few things should probably be mentioned: 1) When this was made, Netflix didn't have an animation department to their company. Any animated production was only made in partnership with Netflix (who tends to act as producers for projects half of the time) as Netflix would end up becoming a platform creators and companies could use to showcase their work (and this is still a thing even though Netflix is making its own animated works). This is the case for "Klaus" as SPA Studios (not Netflix) are the ones responsible for this movie. 2) SPA Studios is based in Madrid, Spain, and was founded by Sergio Pablos, a Spanish writer, director, producer, and animator (SPA itself stands for Sergio Pablos Animation). Sergio actually did work for Disney as he was an animator in films like Hunchback, Hercules, Tarzan, and was the character artist for Dr. Doppler in Treasure Planet. The Head of SPA Studios, Marisa Román, was also once a Disney animator and dedicated her talents to films like Mulan, A Bug's Life, and Tarzan as well. 3) Along with Klaus, SPA Studios is also responsible for other films such as Rio (for Blue Sky), Smallfoot (for Warner Brothers), and a little film you might know called Despicable Me (for Illumination).

YOU WILL LOVE IT. IM WATCHING AND COOKING SO THANKS FOR POSTING

This one was an instant standard for me. It’s outstanding. The only problem I have with it is that Jesper and his dad pronounce his name differently. Pretty sure his dad is the only one who says it right, honestly.

The families feuding in this movie are based off two real life families, the Hatfields and the McCoys.

This actually hits home a bit. I'm not a mail deliverer, but a mail sorter in the Postcentre. It's hectic around Christmas. A lot of Christmas cards are being sent as well as packages, and of course letters for Santa in Lapland, Rovaniemi, Finland. There goes letters from kids all over the world. We actually have a Christmas Village there. X3 It's nowadays the only time we are being asked to do overtime and earn a bit more money. The Finnish word for Christmas has nothing to do with religion really. We call it Joulu (Yolooh), kinda like the word Yule, which is an old Germanic celebration, before the religion took over. Yule was and stll is, a celebration of midwinter for wiccas and heathen people. X3

Yes!!! I am so glad you love this movie and the best Christmas movie ever 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎅🎁🧸🪀

Yay! 😃 I'm glad you were able to watch klaus, it's so beautiful and I love it. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays to you Nick and everyone. 😃🎄 A True Act of Goodwill, Always Sparks Another. ~ Klaus

I love this movie so much. Although the basic idea of plot isn't itself original, the movie adds so much personality and heart that it really makes itself stand out. It's so beautiful, i love this film so so so so much. top 10 christmas movie favorites for sure. Also, i'm so glad that you've been in a good movie these last few weeks!! Never be afraid to take some time for yourself, it's ight if the video schedule isn't perfect. Take care of yourself bro🫶🏼

This is one of the most visually impressive movies I've ever watched! Glad you get to check it out!

Klaus is such a good movie I'm glad you watched it ❤️

His dad's not being harsh. Gently stern. Hell, he didn't even get a brick to the head.

I love this movie so, so much! If I ever get Netflix it will be because I can't live without this movie! 😄❤️ Merry Christmas!

You should totally check out Jingle All The Way.

One of, if not, the best Christmas or Santa movie. I first saw it when it came out cause of my brother. I was reluctant. I laughed, I got annoyed, I cried, I LOVED it. Loved this reaction as well!! ❤️

Eeeek! You did another movie from my list!

Klaus is a great Christmas movie, and awesome reaction Nick.

Merry Christmas Nick so happy you found this movie its a great Netflix original a boy called Christmas is one you would love

The person behind the heart and everything used to work for Disney And use this movie to go back to the old traditional style of Is how classical movies and everything was made

I love this movie when, I was 22 years old.

That's crazy, I was just thinking how it'd be great for you to see this movie.

One of my favorite Christmas movies.

There are a lot of similarities between this and Santa Claus is Comin' Town. Both are origin stories. Jesper and Klaus become very close friends. Kluger has an encyclopedic knowledge of Santa and implies a relationship exists between Santa and postmen like him. Both take place sometime in the 19th or early 20th century. Smeerensburg is based on Sweden and Sombertoen is based on the German Empire. Both Smeerensburg and Sombertown are miserable towns ran by assholes and have a distinctive grayness to them. Both towns gradually improve due to Santa's influence. In both movies the main protagonist's love interest is a teacher who at first is not receptive of him.

the start of this movie is okay, but once we get to Klaus it becomes amazing, such a beautiful story, a beautiful movie, didnt expect it to be so great honestly when I first went into it :)

The little girl speaking saami is from the native folk of Scandinavia. Sápmi is the only native people in Europe that survived the ages and they were already living during ice age. They live now in the north of Norway, Sweden, Finland and a little part of Russia and there is something like ten different languages with Nordsamiska being the main one. I think the little girl speaks nordsamiska from what i can understand but I can’t be sure. It’s important to know that Sápmi were brutalized and discriminated during the last centuries, like very badly, for exemple the government of Norway during the 20e century sterilized sápmi women so they couldn’t « reproduce », while children were taken from their families and send in Norwegian home where they were forbidden to use their languages. When this came to an end, they were reunited with their families but then they had no way to interact with them because they had forgotten their native languages, or even if they didn’t they were raised far from their cultures and couldn’t really be part of it again because it’s very difficult to reintroduce themselves into their old lives (when they could remember it since some of them were taken at birth). For a long time it was very difficult to be sápmi and now, even if things tend to get better, it’s still not perfect. I guess we can compare what sápmi experienced to what Native American went through. I think this movie (as Frozen II who broach the subject but as a metaphor, when here it’s literal) did a great job. It’s subtle but the little girl is very put aside for half of the movie, the children can’t speak with her and don’t try, no one is playing with her or paying attention, even if she’s the cutest. And I love that she’s getting that attention in the end. The robe she’s wearing is called a gákti and is the traditional clothing for most of sápmi people. And as I said, she’s definitely speaking sápmi because I could understand half of what she was saying, and I think her accent was great (I can’t really tell for this part but her accent look like my teacher’s so I guess it’s a proper one). I didn’t check but I hope they had take a native sápmi speaker for her. I’m just so happy they bring sápmi culture in this movie, I think it was very nice and well done. PS : I’m not sápmi myself but I really love their culture and I’m glad for them that they began to have the recognition they deserve. If any sápmi want to had something or correct something I said, feel free !

I like seeing Saami representation in this movie with Margu.
