Animation films are moving very fast year after year in the use of the best techniques to inspire viewers that what they see on the screen is real, precisely what Disney has done in recent years through the use of computer graphics industry techniques, completely dispense with manuals, and then recently switch to Special effects in making animated tales in the form of realistic films, which we saw this year in the films "Aladdin" and "The Lion King" (The Lion King).
On the other hand, Netflix surprised everyone with its first animated film, a film based entirely on 2D animation technology, reminiscent of Disney films in the 1990s, as well as children's books of the 19th and 20th centuries.
"Klaus" is a story full of Nostalgia and comedy, as well as many warm moments revolving around the value of friendship, the ability to altruism and sacrifice to change the entire world, all in a perfect atmosphere for birthdays and the end of the year, where the film mainly revolves around Modified for the original story behind Santa Claus.
about friendship
The film begins with the story of a spoiled boy who fails miserably in the post school, but depends mainly on the fact that his father is the head of the postal service in a European country does not tell us the name of the film, as we do not know exactly at what time the story revolves, but we through the fashion characters, and the atmosphere that depends mainly On horse-drawn carts we conclude that we are in the Middle Ages, specifically between the 13th and 15th centuries.
The father entrusts his son with the difficult task of going to a remote and impoverished city to work in mail transport for a year, only to return to a life of luxury after he succeeds in delivering thousands of messages to and from the city.
This first chapter leads us to the boy's journey in a horrifying and brutal city that looks like a ghost town, but everything changes when he recognizes an old man with a very clear white hair and a long beard that looks like the color of snow. The old boy finds a friend and a spiritual father. The old boy in a way to find a new purpose for his life after losing his wife, who left him without sons.
The film brings us to a warm tale of friendship.
The story of Santa Claus
At the heart of this story about friendship lies the film's most important strength, which is that it offers a very fun version of the true story behind the character of "Santa Claus" or "Santa Claus", known by children around the world as the character of a good man with a white beard who brings gifts to them at the end Every year on condition that they behave better towards their friends and family members.
The true story that may be influenced by the story of St. Nicholas, the Greek religious man who used to bring gifts to children during the fourth century AD has conveyed the film to a wider world, where we see the character of Klaus, a man unconnected to a single religious heritage, and bored his personal story of isolation In a house in the middle of the forest after the death of his wife.
The film also gives a great impetus to this man to care for children since he personally has been deprived of the blessing of paternity, so it becomes in his new passion for making gifts for children a real justification for changing his life is personally before he changes their lives.
This is how the film blends Nostalgia with the reconstitution of the myth, eventually giving us a very popular and suitable version for viewers of all ethnicities and ages about the story of Santa Claus.
Fees are full of nostalgia
Finally, we conclude with the film's most important strength, perhaps the main reason why it has so far received 98% of viewers and 91% of critics on Rotten tomatoes, as well as high ratings at other rating sites such as AMD. IMDB).
The most striking strength here is the 2D cartoons, which, although made in a digital way, you can feel nostalgic for childhood movies. Here, the effect of the film's director, Sergio Pablos, is very clear. The man worked with Disney in the 1990s through popular films, such as " Tarazan, "and" Heracles ", films that today's youth have associated with many memories during their childhood.
These Nostalgia-filled cartoons do not ask the viewer to believe that what he sees is true at all. Thus, through this Klaus, Netflix moves away from Disney's new approach to bringing reality to the world of animation. With the success of this film, Netflix proves that the audience may prefer the animation world. In its old form, with drawings that resemble children's books, fairy tales filled with emotions and nostalgia.
