The Sami are the indeginous people of Scandinavia. The clothes and the language depicted here is accurate and the movie has gotten so much love from the Nordic community with good representation

Fun fact: Sergio Pablos, the creator and director of the film, was a old disney animator that work on Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules, Tarzan and Treasure Planet. Remember Dr. Dopler from Treasure Planet and Tantor the elephant from Tarzan? He was the character animator for both characters and you can recognize some of Dr. Dopler expressions on Jesper's shocking or panic expressions.

Klaus was nominated for an Oscar but lost to Toy Story 4 that year. It's my favorite Christmas movie and an instant classic for me. I always end up crying by the end because of how beautiful it is. Thank you guys so much for watching!

This a very beautiful, underrated movie. It deserves to become a Christmas classic!

My university animation classes went wild when we saw the trailer for this movie. When it finally came out, just about all of us came back from the holidays floored. It was essentially, 'This.. this is it. This is what we've been looking for.'

This movie deserved to win the Oscar 😔💕

"Every year I get to see my friend" That line did it on the spot I cried and cried. Everytime I watch this film, even this reaction of the film had me tearing up like crazy ughhhh.. I can't seem to make it to the end without tears geeeez I'm so glad u guys liked this film it's top tier content for children and adults👍🏻👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿 (run-on sentence for the win)

This is such a wholesome movie. Not only did it make me tear up but ugly cry... It is just so beautiful and definitely has the quality to be a Christmas classic.

The little girl is Sámi. Sámi people are indigenous people from the northeast point of Europe in an area that used to be known as Lapland (the largest portion of Sámi people live within Swedish and Norwegian borders). Up here Sámi people are primarily known for reindeer-herding. She was indeed speaking one of the sámi languages :D

Something Klaus does that a lot of movies seem to be afraid to these days is let the emotional moments sit. All too often I'll be watching a movie, have something genuinely touching happen, only for it to be immediately derailed with a quip or joke or snarky remark. It's like the creators are too afraid to let their audience feel for longer than a couple seconds. As much as I loved Into the Spider-Verse, it did that multiple times and it really marred an otherwise breathtaking experience.

I think part of the reason for why this movie isn't as well known is: a) it lost to Toy Story 4 at the Oscars, and b) it had the bad luck to be released just before the pandemic hit in 2020.

Sami are the indigenous people who live in an area called Sápmi (formerly known as Lapland) that’s stretches across Norway, Sweden, Finland, and parts of Russia. “The Sámi have historically been known in English as Lapps or Laplanders, but these terms are regarded as offensive by some Sámi people, who prefer the area's name in their own languages”

AAAAH this is one of my favorite animated movie. I also love how the color tones changed throughout the movies. It was so cold and "grey" when the movie started, but it got warmer progressively. I was really sad when Klaus lost to Toy Story 4 ;A; I don't even celebrate Christmas but I still rewatch this movie the night before 25th of December lol. I expected you both to LOVE this movie too, so y'all right. This movie should be a classic.

This movie broke my heart and put it back together throughout the whole movie. Instant classic if you ask me. You guys should really watch, on your own if you want to, the behind the scenes stuff you can find about this movie on KZfaq, including the studio that created this movie’s reaction to being nominated for Best Animated Picture of 2019. P.S. It should’ve won the award for Best Animated Picture.

Some of the things I really liked about the film was they got real children to voice the children characters, and it just comes off more innocent and genuine hearing actual child actors voice kids and the other thing was the film does a good job of showing that traditions are great but some traditions can be dropped or changed given that the tradition of hatred between the two families/tribes only brought misery and once they start cooperating and living together their entire community is uplifted.

THIS MOVIE IS EVERYTHING, and don't worry I also got very teary at the end :( amazing, beautiful movie!

I'm so disappointed this did not win the Oscar that year - it's absolutely amazing in every single aspect, from the animation innovation to the soundtrack and story. Such a bummer.

You both truly have beautiful smiles. The joy you both had watching this made it even more an incredible reaction. Thank you for the happiness you bring with all your uploads.

Watched this when it first came out on Netflix. Hit me really hard. Didn't know it was so underrated

Yeah, Sami is real. I looked them up and here : The Sámi people are an indigenous Finno-Ugric-speaking people inhabiting the region of Sápmi, which today encompasses large northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and of the Murmansk Oblast, Russia, most of the Kola Peninsula in particular.

I love Klaus, it is my #1 favorite Christmas film of all time! When I first laid eyes on the animation, I thought it was a 2D/3D animated hybrid. After doing more research and learning that the style of animation was in fact 2D animated (with lighting, shading, and texture), I was so blown away; I couldn’t fathom it all. Sergio Pablos and his team have taken 2D animation to another level with Klaus and who knows, this style of animation could maybe bring 2D back to the big screens, just maybe.

It’s 2d animation, more precisely, it’s multiple layers of simple colors that get more detailed to look 3D with each one added.Its an incredible animation technique that involves a lot of light direction, it’s extremely time consuming but it’s so worth it. There’s a detailed behind the scene of the animation I think you should check out, it’s really lovely. This movie is nominated for an Oscar by the way, correct me if I’m wrong but it’s for best animation.

Spider-Verse and Klaus push the entire animation industry forward. ❤️

What I really enjoy is that a lot of theories are that when Klaus disappeared he became one of the Guardians from Rise of the Guardians. It kind of makes sense with North's big personality and stature.

I ugly cried twice in this, once when they gave Margo her gift and how joyous and genuine the scene was, and the very last line of the film while hearing the sleigh bells hits me in the feels every time.

I love that Jasper reminded me of Kuzco from The Emperor's New Groove, even his voice almost sounded like Kuzco 🤣

I liked your discussion at the end there. Pretty interesting conversation. Let me throw in this little piece. I've seen the other side of tradition: where you create a tradition in an attempt to artificially recreate the emotions, or a moment from the first time - to recapture that lightning in a bottle. Occasionally it works, usually it falls flat. But one of the inherent problems with Traditions is that, over time, what worked so well at the start - the way "let's do it this way this time" worked at first turns into "let's do it this way because this is the way we've always done it." And you even see that in Klaus. The town is at war because "that's the way we've always done it! You don't want to disrespect that legacy of hating half your neighbors, do you?"

I cried like 4 times in this movie and sobbed violently at the end, I kept going "he wanted a big family but couldn't have it buaaaaaaa he lost the only family he had buaaaaa and then he got a best friend and a found family buaaaaaa AND NOW HIS BEST FRIEND LOST HIMMMMM"

This animation is interesting. It’s a basic 2D that’s been enhanced /manipulated to look like a 3D animated movie. Brilliant results. I enjoyed the story as well.

Yes yes yes yes yes yes!!! This movie is the best not just amongst Christmas movies, but in general. Thank you for watching this movie.

I love how emotionally involved all of us became watching klaus

By the way guys, family traditions are the best, and it seems that each generation adds their own spin on those traditions. I love how your parents explained traditions to you. What a beautiful way to think of it. It is what keeps us connected to our ancestors and past. How beautiful.

I've found out from the video 'How Netflix's 'Klaus' Made 2D Animation Look 3D | Movies Insider', the characters here are indeed 2D and are NOT CGI.

Yay! This is honestly one of the best animated movies I've seen in the past few years and I'm so happy it's getting the recognition it deserves!

Yes!!!! I agree! Klaus is the best!

I can’t remember traditional animation pushing the level of lighting like this since Who Framed Roger Rabbit. ❤️❤️

I've loved Klaus since I first saw it, and I'll probably watch it every year. It's hilarious, so pretty, incredible animation, and the story is so earnest without being cloying... Wonderful. And yeah - I've watched you guys enough to know they'd be a little tearing up at the end too!

I took a chance on this movie after seeing it for the first time last year in Netflix. Figured if it wasn't my thing I'd move on to another movie. But this just really surprised me in a good way!😁 It touched me to see the little Laplander girl in it. Being I'm by heritage part Norwegian/ Swedish, you have in the northern most part of Scandinavian countries, like Norway - Laplanders. I've seen them in various travel shows in the past on TV. Sami is their real language. 🇳🇴 Skol y'all lol. I'm glad you enjoyed it so much!

A character arc done properly! I love this gorgeous film!

This movie is, as you both put it, so beautiful. I’ve watched it plenty of times since it’s been out and I tear up every single time. The message, the emotion, the art style, and storyline are all well done and is an added movie in my Christmas repertoire. Glad to see you both enjoy it as much as my family and I did.

you guys trying to not tear up was funny. I cried watching the scene in your reaction. I cry whenever I see that scene. That ending is too beautiful.

I don't think Christmas movies (at least the filmmaking) had any charm anymore after 90s (take Home Alone and Santa Claus series example). However Polar Express was the only movie in 21st century that did managed to pull some strings in my heart. Klaus is the only exceptional movie after so many years since Polar Express that managed to make me go up on a roller coaster ride. The introduction itself is really interesting starting off with the letter and not to mention that nostalgic feeling of 2d is blissful. Jasper's introduction kinda reminded me of Milo's introduction in Atlantis but I guess we're all thankful that both these characters are polar opposites. Jasper's and the teacher's romance was not forced and still manged to be great, they gave a good origin to Klaus with minor mystical element. The scene where the kid got the frog as gift is really beautiful and Margo was a cute child. I'm ngl, the rivalry between both clans was interesting and the little happy version of Romeo and Juliet that binds the clans. All in all, I'm glad you guys enjoyed it cause this movie deserves all praises. Also for Christmas movies I would like to recommend Jingle All The Way, Home 2 & 3 and Arthur's Christmas. For normal suggestions I would like to recommend *Legend of the guardians: owls of Ga'Hoole* (the art style is on same level as Rise of the guardians, the actions are great and so is narration), *The Adventures of TinTin* (this is like a mixture of Sherlock Holmes and Pirates of the Caribbean but totally original and entertaining. Not to mention the unique style), *Brother Bear* (all I can say is not only does this introduce beautiful landscapes but great message on brotherhood, the art style is just like Atlantis and Treasure Planet), *Meet the Robinsons* (a really motivating movie is all I can say) and Hercules (I know you've seen it with Tim James but I'd like your reaction with Brush one day) and Sindhbad.

I've been trying to get more people to watch this since it first came out. I agree, it's beautiful and it makes me cry every time I watch it.

Klaus is a gem. Love this movie so much!! 💚💚💚

This and The Little Prince I loved so much. They were both so unique!

Ahh super excited for this! This film is so beautiful. I always cry when the children start helping out and being nice to everyone - it just portrays the power of kindness so well.

So glad you guys reacted to this movie ❤️ it will always be my favored Christmas movie!!!

this is the best animated holiday movie ever, possibly the best holiday movie in general too. I loved you guys enjoying it just as much.

I just made my family watch this with me last night because I remembered loving it so much last year💙

I've seen a few reactions to this film, but you two, by far, have had the best reaction to this. I love to hear you two talking about the way movies are made and discussing the ins and outs of films and scripts. And for being as young as you are, you actually understand comedy and sarcasm and things that I have noticed that many younger reactors do not seem to understand. It is a joy to see that there are still some younger people who understand, well, life. I know you two have careers planned and you will move on from this, but I am hopeful you can do this for as long as possible. I just love watching you two. Merry Christmas to you both and may the New Year bring you much success and joy.

I have bought this movie as soon as I could and it absolutely plays on Christmas in my house every year. It's just... Too beautiful. There's just an incredible amount of love behind the whole production, and it shows. It makes you feel hopeful, amazing and teary eyed at the end. It's everything I wanted from a Christmas movie as a child and more, and I can't help but smile at the wonder on the faces of whoever gets to watch it for the first time.

Love this movie so much and wow some deep conversation at the end 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thank y’all for sharing your thoughts and opinions

So glad more people are reacting to this film, it’s amazing and is greatly underrated!

This is #1 on my Christmas movie list too, the story is so clever and sweet and the style of the art and animation is so good ❤️ It was so fun to see your genuine appreciation of it

That movie rocks. So well done. Even the establishing shots are gorgeous.

When i first watched, my brain was so bugged and i spent most of the film trying to figure if it was 2D or 3D, looking at it again i can see its clearly 2D but its amazing how they did it! I watched the video about it and was fascinated about the work put into it. This movie really deserved the Oscar, if it depended on me i would give it to them.

I absolutely adore this movie! I have watched it every Christmas since it came out! It's definitely a movie that I think everyone should watch! Glad to see you both enjoyed it!🎄

Glad you watched it guys. It's already my Christmas classic, I'll watch it every year.

I really love this movie. It gets me every time. Even when I'm just watching bloody reactions when you see Klaus' pain, and the magic of the wind, I legitimately tear up. One of the things that tickles me about it so much is the fact that the evil old woman is _literally_ the villain of The Adams Family Values movie. I just learned that within the last month or two. Kind of crazy to realize that XD

I love this movie so much ! I was crying at. the end too. Awesome reaction!!

This movie has such good animation, character and storiy that it kinda overshadows the spot on humor its a beautiful, sweet movie... and its also HYLARIOUS

i love how james is just so excited about everything in this movie, like hipping the characters and stuff, yelling at the characters to move ahahah it's just so funny

Yes! This movie is indeed beautiful! And a very different Santa Clause origin story. 😁

I love this hidden gem of a movie. I watched it on a whim when it first appeared on Netflix. I did not think I was going to love it sooo much. I don't know why more people don't know about it. It's so amazingly well done.

It was so satisfying to see how they made it look like red glow when theres light coming behind the ear. The attention to detail!

Even though I know how this movie went, every time I watch a reaction I just bust put crying multiple times throughout the video😂 The storytelling is just so well done and it keeps your attention every second of the way. I really love this one.

what james said about doing a thing to receive something and it becoming a habit is actually very true! I have adhd and it was impossible for me to find the motivation to work out until I started "rewarding" myself with a tv show. Basically I would only watch said show while working out and it became a habit for me to work out! I actually started looking forward to working out bc of the show lol! That stuff really works and it's usually recommended by therapists!

This movie is so moving and beautiful. By the end when he says "once a year.... I get to see my friend" i always ugly cry mixed with the biggest smile I can possibly do.

Klaus is an amazing movie.. so beautiful

This film should be more known to more people

My brother recommended this movie to me and I absolutely loved it

This is now also my favorite Christmas movie. Oh, my goodness this movie had me sobbing! It is so beautiful!

18:38 PLAING EPIC!!

My ONE complaint about this movie is the obligatory Liar Revealed scene. The way it goes down doesn’t make sense to me with all the individual effort he put in and the starting place of the other two- one a silent hermit and one bitterly saving to leave and y’all are like how dare you put in work to leave this place that also made it better than you found it? It doesn’t grok and it goes on too long. But aside from that beautiful wonderfully written movie that more people should see.

I love this movie ♡ I would love to see you react to the charm of the new Disney animation, this animation was wonderful. kisses here from Brazil.

I was waiting so long for this omg i clicked so fast when i saw this I knew you guys would really appreciate the animation on this one

I've seen this movie at least a dozen times within the past week with no regrets. It was something orgasmic to hear these two gushing over the beautiful animation. This movie is criminally underrated.

Omg I’m so happy you guys did it!!!! This whole movie is just so magical 😭💕

the fact that it came out yesterday and i'm already watching it for the 3rd time. i love y'all guys reactions, and i enjoy watching them every single time!!!

The characters were ALL HAND DRAWN!!!

The coolest thing about this is while I was in college studying Animation we heard about this project while it was still in production and one of my professors got access to see some of the behind the scenes work that the animators did for this film. We were learning about Sergio Pablos at the time and it was so cool to see the amazing things they were doing for this film before it was even released! After I graduated I was ecstatic to finally see it on Netflix!

That ending was about as perfect as one could hope for.

I love this movie so much ^^

42:20 James, after explaining the psychology behind human goodness, repetition, and positive reinforcement: …but I don’t know

Omg i love this movie so much!! And i agree that its highly underrated. Loved seeing your reactions, it was very pure and even cute hahaha.

this is such an amazing movie, it deserves waaaaaay more love than it gets

Klaus is a beautiful blend of 2D and 3D. It's hard to tell, eh? Just hearing you two trying to figure it out made me smile! One of the best animated movies on Christmas, my friend and I waited for that movie for SO LONG, cried tears, loved all the characters and voice acting!

I watched this once and it instantly became a movie I have to watch every year.

CRIMINALLY underrated indeed 😤

New reaction!😍 i haven't watched it yet, but i already know it's gonna be amazing🔥 thank you guys👍

I was so looking forward to you guy's reaction to this.

Im so happy you got to watch this film.

I've been trying to get my sister in law to watch this for a while, and she started but said she couldn't grasp it, I said you need to get to the second half. It's a beautiful movie with a lovely story.

Yeeess!!! I NEED more people to watch this movie!!!!

The last line always gets to me!! 😭

didnt watch the movie before starting the video... at like 15min i just paused this video and watched the movie myself... damn man loved it

This movie is another level.

im surprised i dont see people compare Klaus' VA to Ford from Gravity Falls, or the mayor in Zootopia lol Beautiful movie though! Glad to see more people watching it :>

Greatest xmas movie. Its just perfect. I end up watching it mid year just because its such a good film.

this is my new favourite new / modern Christmas movie
