Klaus

Klaus is a 2019 animated film written and directed by Sergio Pablos. It released in Netflix on November 8th, 2019.

Plot
A lazy son of a wealthy family named Jesper is sent to an island above the Arctic Circle by his father after he showed to be the worst postman at a royal academy. Under a circumstance for Jesper to return, he must post 6,000 letters within a year, or else he'll be cut off from his family. When he does arrive at the island, he encounters the residents there, who are very horrible and mean-spirited, as well as a family who has been in a feud that has been going on for generations. He later meets and befriends a reclusive woodsman named Klaus who lives in a secluded cabin far away from the village.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The hand-drawn animation is absolutely gorgeous. When you pause a scene from the movie, it looks like concept art from an art book.
 * 2) * James Baxter, an animator who is well known for how surprisingly smooth his animations are, worked on a scene in this movie!
 * 3) Proper character development: Jesper goes from being very selfish and lazy to being kind-hearted.
 * 4) The character designs are also good as well.
 * 5) The story is heartwarming and engaging.
 * 6) The voice acting is well done, which big names such as J.K. Simmons as Klaus.
 * 7) The ending of the story wasn't that bad. In fact, it's very emotionally charged.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Some voice acting needs more work, like how Joan Cusack doesn't exactly sound like an old woman when voice acting Mrs. Krum.
