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’s a better Santa Claus origin story, then one, I don’t know what it could be, and two, I don’t 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’t this film win the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film? We loved Toy Story 4—heck, we even talked about it in our inaugural episode—but was that one better than this masterpiece? Survey says, NO.

Regardless, Klaus is a film with the canny ability to warm just about anybody’s heart. Even a Grinch’s cold insides and that’s a damn hard thing to do. That’s not even to mention the gorgeous animation.

This film is a feat for the eyes and a warming salve for the heart. It’s clearly destined to become a holiday classic, and it couldn’t have happened to a better film. Happy holidays!
