3/4

The wonderful Rashida Jones voices a teacher who could become a love interest for Jesper. And any movie that casts Norm Macdonald as a cynical boat captain who sounds exactly like Norm MacDdnald is all right by me.

It's awkward and weird, and yet all that awkwardness and weirdness give it personality and charm and a freewheeling, nonsensical quality that feels refreshing.

Though there are some narrative blips in Klaus born out of a premise that is maybe just a little too complex for a 97-minute film, the movie is absolutely beautiful.

This year, skip the same old routine. Treat yourself to a film that is artistically stunning, genuinely hilarious, and boasts more heart and beautiful music than any other Christmas offering.

Greatly enjoyed watching this with my kids. It was a bit darker than I was expecting but nonetheless it's a feel good film that's surprisingly funny.
