On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are discovering the true meaning of the holiday season. We watched the 2019 film from Sergio Pablos, Klaus.
If there\u2019s a better Santa Claus origin story, then one, I don\u2019t know what it could be, and two, I don\u2019t want to hear about it. This film has given me everything I could possibly need, thank you very much.
The real question is why didn\u2019t this film win the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film? We loved Toy Story 4\u2014heck, we even talked about it in our inaugural episode\u2014but was that one better than this masterpiece? Survey says, NO.
Regardless, Klaus is a film with the canny ability to warm just about anybody\u2019s heart. Even a Grinch\u2019s cold insides and that\u2019s a damn hard thing to do. That\u2019s not even to mention the gorgeous animation.
This film is a feat for the eyes and a warming salve for the heart. It\u2019s clearly destined to become a holiday classic, and it couldn\u2019t have happened to a better film. Happy holidays!
