Must See Animation - 4 Reasons to Check Out "Klaus"




Now that we are in the holiday season, this is the perfect time to check out "Klaus" on Netflix.

Why, you ask? Here are the four reasons you should check it out.

1.  The Story is Solid!


                   

The story pulls you into this very interesting world where a somewhat lazy son and postmaster, Jesper, is given an almost impossible task of bringing much-needed happiness to a town to keep his inheritance. This task has him running into "the man in red". The movie has both laughs and touching moments, which have you rooting for Jesper, who has to inspire "a certain someone to get back into the saddle".


2. The Design and the Animation are top-notch.


                            

Before the look of shows like Arcane, Klaus was a first. Sergio Pablos, a former Disney animator who also worked for Universal Pictures and Illumination Studios, tried a different approach in his directorial debut with this movie. He wanted to keep Klaus traditionally animated with a 3D look. 

Using specialized proprietary tools from the French company- Les Films Du Poisson  Rouge, the team created a unique visual look to get away with flat coloring on the animation. Check out a behind the scenes clip on the process here.

The movie won seven awards at the 47th Annie Awards, including Best Animated Feature.


3. All-Star voice acting.


J.K. Simmons, Rashida Jones, Norm Macdonald, Joan Cusak and Jason Schwartzman round out the cast.





4. It's a Cool holiday Flick.
Nuff said.

Check it out before the holidays are over. A definite must-see!
