Klaus - MOVIE REACTION!! 

Raw Rider Patrons can watch the Full Length Reaction HERE: blindwavellc.com/klaus-movie-full

The whole idea that Klaus was a simple man, but his influence made him something like the magical spirit of Christmas is just amazing.

"I get to see my friend again." What a clever, fantastic, adorable movie. So glad you guys finally checked this off your list.

One of the things that hurt me when watching this movie was when Klause would see the joy in children, he'd imagen his own children the ones he could never have, and thats why he stares so sadly yet hopeful at the joy in children he does cause.

As a nordic/Finnish person it was so awesome to see the Sámi people in a movie. Made me tear up a bit :)

This movie is 100% 2D btw :) the director wanted to take 2D techniques to the next step around when 3D started to take over and this is the belated result. A timeless masterpiece, in my humble opinion.

36:49 Calvin: Damn it, it's so fucking cute. Eric: You crying? Calvin: Yeah.

The Sámi are indigenous people here in northern Scandinavia (and northwestern Russia). 🙂 Sami is one of the official languages in Norway, Sweden and Finland today.

Annelisse writing her name and wanting to learn more made me cry so hard. You might look it cynically that they only want it to write the letters but i felt it's that the kids want to learn!

Margu is the single cutest thing ever put on screen and nobody can convince me otherwise!

This was Norm's last role. That hurt as much as the ending

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)

The scene with Margu enjoying her sled makes me cry every time I see this. It's so beautifully wholesome and precious. The pure, unadulterated spirit of whimsy & fun rolled up in a single scene. It's one of the many reasons this has become one of my all time favorite holiday films.

I love how Klaus has so much equal creepy in juxtaposition to all the magical whimsy. It makes me wanna burst into tears

"Santa is a ghost that haunts the world," is the best possible way I can think of to summarize this movie's take. Fantastic.

After watching this, I'm very glad how respectful the movie was with regards to the Sámi, definitely the best representation of us in media in recent years. Certainly helps that the movie is also all in all excellent, not just in this aspect. As a Sámi myself and hearing there's going to be a christmas movie having Sámi representation, I first had very complicated feelings about it. Being an arctic people living in Lapland (northernmost parts of Finland, Sweden and Norway) the tourism business has since at least the 70's been exploiting our culture - especially the booming christmas tourism. The industry created a narrative for tourists that our people have very close ties to Santa, being "his little helpers" since our colorful traditional garb can be interpreted as christmas-y. The implication of that was that our people was also fictious (basically elfs), which in turn turned to open season for everyone to mimic and mis-interpret our culture to fit their own narratives (I'm looking at you, new-age shamanistic spiritualists making a mockery of our traditions and mythology). It kinda snowballed from there. It's better nowadays, but I've still met people (not just tourists but also Finns and Swedes) who think the Sámi are just a story like Santa. Or a dead culture lost to time, and are very surprised to learn we still have a living, breathing culture alive today.

This movie so deserves the Oscar. Really sad it lost to Toy Story 4

Klaus has become my favourite christmas movie. It's so hearthwarming, clever and a masterpiece for the style (I would see series and movies with that). I now see it every christmas as a tradition (also with Elf, Polar Express, Fred Claus and Arthur Christmas, this last a true comedy and I suggest it for the next year)

Into the Spider-Verse made the 3D with 2D detailing and texturing really popular. Klaus made the inverse of that popular. The 2D with texturing that made it look 3D was really cool. I didn't know this movie was animated in 2D until Corridor Crew's Animators React series. I thought they did the same thing as Spider-Verse before that.

50:36 About the ghost thingy, in theory, Santa has always being dead, “Santa” comes from “Saint” and you can’t be a saint if you are not dead, in Christianity people can only get officially declared saints after dying, the tradition of Santa Claus (not the Klaus from this movie, I mean the traditional Santa Claus that we know) is based on Saint Nicholas of Myra, a Christian Bishop who had an habit of secretly giving gifts, so yeah, Santa has always being a spirit if you think about it, haha I love this movie so much, it is my new favorite Christmas movie ever since the moment I first watched it, I always end up crying tho 😅

Really happy this won the poll and that you guys reacted to this! Klaus is honestly one of the best animated films of the last decade!

I love this movie so damn much. I said it with other reactions to this movie too but "I'm coming, love." & "But I do know: once, every year, I get to see my friend." Makes me cry like baby every damn time. 💕😭

This movie is completely in 2d animation, old fashioned. Very cool to finally see you guys see it

I love this film SO MUCH! It should’ve won the Oscars that year.

Finally watched this Christmas 2021 and my god it’s without question my favorite Christmas movie. Even going beyond the art style, it’s just a genuinely beautiful movie in its music and story. The sled scene with the Sami girl got me emotional, and the last scene with Klaus absolutely wrecked me.

Fun fact, this is not a 2D and 3D blend movie! 99% of what your seeing is purely 2D animated, they just shaded it to make it look like it was 3D.

FINALLY, ever since this came out, it should've been recognised as a modern classic, the charm, the style, the story is the Christmas film feeling I've been missing since the 2000's!!!

I think I first watched this two years ago and man it hit me right in the feels. I don’t do well during the holidays because of seasonal depression and stuff from my childhood but I still get the best feelings from Christmas cartoons and the old claymation movies, it truly is magic and this hit hard. I watch it every year and it helps chase the blues away, I’m glad you found this and I hope it brought you joy, I hope it brings everyone joy. Thanks for watching this 🎁🎄❄️☃️🎅🤶

It didn't expect it to hit so hard in the emotions the first time in saw it, its such a beautifully told and animated story 😭

This is now a must watch each christmas. Instant classic. And god DAMN IT the ending gets me every time.

I love this movie. It was such a delightful surprise. The animation, the story, the characters, the humor, the emotion. Everything. It has become my new favorite Christmas movie. It should have won more awards.

I loved this movie! It feels completely modern and absolutely classic. It’s timeless!!!

I’m not a christmasy person but this is really a movie I can get behind. Such a great story and as an animator myself I find the animations amazingly good.

Im not crying.....You are crying....

Probably my favourite christmas film. Deserved the oscar

You guys gotta do Arthur Christmas next year - made by the folks who did Wallace and Gromit, amazing British voice cast, Santa origin but again a twist on the kind of dynasty of Santa, hilarious, heartfelt. Just wonderful!

If there's one point where the movie change to high gears is right where Jesper takes down the cover that's covering Klaus' memorial to his wife. From that moment onwards the movie decides to bring on the hard emotions.

Finally saw this this past Christmas, and the single best scene was when Alva's showing Jesper around the town - just the *warmth* of the Town Square contrasted with how bleak and grim it was when he first arrived was absolutely moving.

this movie needs so much more recognition.

A fantastic movie. Definitely one of my favorite christmas movies ever since it came out.

This has to be my favorite Christmas movie of all time. Even passed Jim Carry Grinch for me. I cry every time.

I really love this movie, crying, laughing, even I don't celebrate christmas but I feel like this is gonna be one of those classic christmas movies ❤️ The sami girl is really adorable too.

YAY KLAUS!! wish everyone could’ve joined but i’ll always take my boys eric and calvin 💕

I've been meaning to watch this Movie for the past couple of years and I finally watch it with my wife and her kids and we all loved it! Itwas great!! I teared up a bit lol

This is an amazing Christmas movie and story about everlasting friendship, and I just cry so much watching it every time. I really hope it becomes a classic.

This is my favorite Christmas movie I absolutely adore it and I'm so glad they watched it

Oh god, here comes the tears again!

I always cry when I see this movie, it's just so special to me, so magical and heartwarming

If u were wondering, the Sami r one of the many real indigenous groups of Scandinavia, their culture revolves around reindeer even having multiple reindeer deities, they were most likely the first people to ever domesticate reindeer

Watched this movie when it first came out, and I loved it! An instant classic in my book.

This movie is so wholesome.

This is literally my favorite Christmas movie of all time. Great reaction as always!

This film breaks me every time... And quickly become my favorite Christmas movie of all time! It's just so beautiful💙

I introduced my mom to this movie after it had come out. It is now a family tradition to watch this movie every Christmas Eve

after i watched this i try to watch it every year

When this came out it instantly became a traditional movie for me and my girlfriend. We both love it

This came out the winter I finally got Netflix (mainly to watch the Witcher) and was the second thing I watched on the platform, I loved it so much it has replaced any other film as my go to Christmas movie! It’s so good!

I never thought I'd see this! :D I'm so glad you guys are checking it out! One of the best christmas movies and just movies in general

As a Swede it makes me so happy to see a Sami family in this movie. They are sadly often forgotten and overlooked in so many spaces. I love this movie so much and it makes me cry every time. Something about the animation, although very different, and the look of Jesper reminds me of another christmas staple: "The Christmas Eve of Karl-Bertil Jonsson" (original Swedish title "Sagan om Karl-Bertil Jonssons Julafton"). It's an animated short movie from 1975, written by the legend Tage Danielsson and I highly recommend it. It's shown every year on christmas eve and I look forward to it so much every year.

4:45 RIP Norm McDonald 🙏✝️

Klaus was the first thing I re-watched as soon as December rolled around. One of my favourite Christmas movies and would be the first if Muppets Christmas Carol didn't exist. Great fun to watch it with y'all!

this movie is a masterpiece

So glad you guys reacted to this! It remains one of the best-animated movies for me and I always get so emotional watching it. From the graphics to the story to the music, everything in this movie is just amazing!

Probably the best christmas movie ever made. In all senses. Good story, great message, jaw dropping animation and amazing new technique. Great cast and performances. This movie should be a tradition to watch for every family that observes christmas in their culture.

this is easily one of my favorite new christmas films and has been added to my list of holiday films to watch every year.

I'm so happy you finally watched it! It's my favorite Christmas movie, I cry every single time I watch it, not kidding. I actually cried watching the reaction.

I was waiting for you guys to watch this! Interesting fact: this movie lost in the Acadamy Awards, to Toy Story 4. Most people believe it's because this was never a theatre movie, it just went straight to Netflix. And it was up against Disney.

This is my favorite Christmas movie!!!!! So glad you decided to react to it 😆

thank you for reacting to this this is one of my favorite christmas movies ever, very underrated for me I hope more people would watch it and the animation is just amazing

As a kid I got to visit Santa's Main Post Office in Rovaniemi, Finland. The magic of Christmas was real for me that year.

The Sami is a real people, they are natives of Norway, Finland and other northern countries.

I always manage to keep it together for the entire film, but Jesper's delivery of the very last line makes me burst into tears.

It´s a hidden gem, loved it

I first watched this movie a few years ago, and I already consider it a classic. It's quickly becoming my favourite Christmas movie each time I watch it every year.

I am so glad you reacted to this. One of my favourite animated movies and definitely my favourite holiday movie.

I'm always on the watch for more reactors giving this a chance. It deserves so much more attention.

i’ve watched this movie SO many tomes and i still cry my eyes out,, so happy you guys got to experience it!

Fun fact: Pumpkin is voiced by the movie director!

Hope will get around to watching Violent Night at some point. Either around this time even though it’s past Christmas or by next Christmas

Guillermo del toro's Pinocchio should be their next Netflix movie reaction

This movie is so good, I am glad you reacted to it. One of my favorite Christmas movies.

I'm brazilian, and I don't remember ever writing to Santa, but in my family, we spent Christmas at my grandparents' house since the 80's (when most of the grandchildren were born) and at midnight one of my uncles or my father (mostly my father) dressed as Santa and appeared to give out all the presents to everyone (not only the kids), I'm a woman and when I was a teen, I even became Santa one year because at the time there were no kids anymore, so it was just for the laughs (my aunt was pregnant at the time and I almost made her piss her pants with laughter - which wouldn't be hard, cause, pregnant LOL). My grandparents passed away in 2020 and 2022 and now everyone spends christmas at other places, but my father still dresses as Santa to go to my cousin's house and give out presents to my cousin's children!

You handled the ending much better than I did. It totally wrecked me.

Actually j.k Simmons is klause

God I love this movie. An easy annual rewatch for me. 🥰

Another amazing video

I'm so happy you guys reacted to this. its a hidden gem that I always recomend to everyone I can, I love it so much.

I saw this movie, I think around the time it was released and not that I forgot it was excellent or anything, but I had really forgotten how - I don't know, magical it felt. Your reaction made me really want to watch the movie again! I also loved how they established that larger-than-life quality to Klaus in this story; he’s someone who won’t be easy pickings for this crazy, war, blood-feuding town and I just loved how even the dogs were like - “nope not going to mess with him;” because once he warmed up - that larger-than-life quality remained, but in the more traditional Santa Claus way it has existed before. It was just, well-done storytelling.

I barely remember seeing this on netflix advertised when it came out and never got to it but man i am SO GLAD you guys checked it out bc i LOVED this movie so much! Teared up multiple times lol Deff one of my new favorite xmas movies! I was so surprised.

The director of Klaus was also an animator for treasure planet. You can actually see the references from jesper's appearance to margu's sled.

This movie is sooo beautiful and i cry everytime i watch it. Everyone needs to watch it.

I was just hanging out at a friend's place, when they turned this show on. I had no idea what it was, but fell in love with it! It's definitely become one of my favorite Christmas movies ever!! ❤️ It always gets me when they fill in the tree with all the figures, becoming his family 🥲

Thank you for watching this, easily one of my favorite movies of all time. I cry EVERY time I watch it.

This movie is definitely the new all time classic that will stand the test of time. It doesn't try to play too much into the magical aspect of Santa, and told a realistic story (for a cartoon) of the origin of the Santa mythos, of how a myth form over time and through rumors. Even the ending doesn't explicitly say "And he ascend to become actual Santa." The film respect the audience enough to let them make their own conclusion as to whether the magic is real or that it simply live on in the heart and mind of others.

Great reaction! One of my favorite Christmas movies!

omggggg yesss so excited literally my favourite christams movie hope u guys love it

I'm kind of glad that this was the last movie Norm Mcdonald did. While I'm sad he's gone, it feels like being a sassy ferryman in the best christmas movie ever made is a wonderful send off.

Such a great movie! The video of the team reacting to the Oscar nomination is so wholesome too!

Perfect choice!

This is my absolute favorite Christmas movie. I'm so glad you watched and enjoyed it!
