Klaus

Movie • 2019 • Animation  

Report
When Jesper distinguishes himself as the Postal Academy's worst student, he is sent to Smeerensburg, a small village located on an icy island above the Arctic Circle, where grumpy inhabitants barely exchange words, let alone letters. Jesper is about to give up and abandon his duty as a postman when he meets local teacher Alva and Klaus, a mysterious carpenter who lives alone in a cabin full of handmade toys.

There aren't any dogs in the movie, aside from the Krum family's pet dogs. They don't die, though.

One child appears to be locked up in his room or house some/most of the time, but the situation is unclear. We do see him play outside, so it's sort of confusing.

A horse is old and pulls a sled too heavy for it, but it is fine and treated well otherwise (just tired). The moment is purely meant to be comical.

Jesper is picked up by Klaus several times, and his mouth is covered to quiet him down. He doesn't get hurt by this and ends up okay.

They aren't used, per say, but one front yard has spikes in the front to ward off neighbors (no one actually touches the spikes). Being an animated movie, the spikes aren't realistic. The scene with the fish shop and meeting Klaus for the first time also has some hooks present (again, not used).

Spoiler: Klaus's wife is indirectly mentioned to have died from a disease. Although the illness is never specified and it's fairly unlikely that it was from cancer, I still feel like it's important to mention.

Perhaps a hint. One character thinks another character's behaviour is crazy, but since he's afraid of him, he says, "Wow... That's... totally normal! Not a sign of any mental illness or anything" - obviously really being of the opinion that it must be.

No explicit hate speech, but the main character does ask "What's wrong with her mouth?" when he encounters someone speaking in a foreign language. It seems to be more of a misunderstanding than trying to be offensive, however. (Some languages simply change the line to "What is she saying?")

Klaus takes a very comfortable and sweet view of the Santa mythology.

Could be argued that showing Santa as a once living man might spoil certain beliefs of the Santa myth. Overall though very sweet and true to the feeling of Christmas and Santa
