Tonight on Netflix: Rated 4.2 out of 5 This is one of the most beautiful Christmas stories ever

Jesper is lazy, spoiled and self-centered. His father, a Royal Postmaster General, then enrolled him in a postman’s training academy, hoping that would change him. However, the worst student in the school, he is sent to Smerensburg, a snowy island town in the Arctic Circle, where the inhabitants neither exchange words nor letters.

His mission is to publish six thousand letters in one year: if Jasper fails, he will forfeit the family fortune. On the verge of giving up everything, he still befriends Alva, the village teacher, and meets the mysterious and impressive Klaus, a lonely carpenter whose straw is filled with handmade toys…

Christmas movies, where the spirit of sharing and the values ​​of the period reign, are not exactly what platforms, including Netflix, lack. There are many choices. But as is often the case, the best shrugs off far less good, so you need to know how to sort…

Netflix’s first original animated feature to hit the platform in 2020, Klaus hit hard. A brilliant reimagining of the story of Santa Claus, Sergio Pablos’ Oscar-nominated film for Best Animated Feature (and to which we owe Despicable Me) is a small wonder in traditional 2D animation and dressed up in 3D (by computer, thanks mainly to an unprecedented use of lighting).

It took more than two years of work and 300 animators to complete this work, which combines humor, poetry and emotion that will amaze young and old alike. A real cozy movie to watch under the covers with a cup of hot chocolate. And at the same time, it’s good for body and soul!
