2019 Directed by Sergio Pablos
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.

Breathtaking animation and character design. Really enjoyed this despite some bizarre music choices and a pretty familiar story. Lots of treasure planet in this movie too if that means anything to you. Shame the only way to get films like this is to make them Christmas themed and aimed for children.
A beautifully animated, heartwarming, funny, thoroughly delightful film. Even though the main character is literally just Kuzco
“What happened to him after that, how, why, I can't even begin to comprehend. I stopped trying to make sense of it a long time ago. But I do know: once, every year, I get to see my friend.”
just a truly incredible animation style. perfect for a story this sweet. loved every moment with the kids and every moment where you go “ohhh that’s how that part of the santa myth happened.” yea i cried again this time, but not as much! docked half a star because the one song is just... not good. mood ruining, even! not all gifts are good. klaus
I am the farthest thing from an easy movie crier, and this movie made me cry like ten times. Easily more than any movie I have ever seen. When the kids started being good to each other and the little girl writes her name for the first time and you meet Margú and see her all grown up and every time they do something that makes you go “oh so that’s how Santa got that thing” a tear would well up in my eye. And then at the end I started thinking about how lovely it is to have a teacher that you really care for and love, who makes you feel so excited to learn and gives you that…
a twink delivered my christmas presents?? through a chimney???? (NOT clickbait) (also i got emotional in the end)
Good lord, I think this is my favorite Christmas movie. It doesn’t have much competition, I’m not much of a “Christmas movie” guy, but damn if I don’t get emotional every time the kids want to learn how to write their names.
You either loved this or you're a monster. These are the only options, i'm sorry. I do not make the rules.
Es ist schon bezeichnend, dass der beste Animationsfilm des Jahres ausgerechnet von einem kleinen Studio in Spanien in traditioneller Zeichentrickkunst gefertigt wurde, dessen Oberhaupt einst Disney verlassen hatte, um Filme wie „Klaus“ zu machen. Die verquere Message (Geschenke/Konsum machen glücklich) mal außen vor ist das ein wundervoller Trip in eine längst vergangene Kinoära voller Herzenswärme, tollem Timing und ganz ohne Tiersidekicks und unsinniges Gesinge.
