Director Sergio Pablos thinks the prefect way to watch Netflix's 'Klaus' is huddled together with your family.
Santa gets an origin story in “Klaus,” an animated tale about an everyman postal worker assigned to bring mail service to a remote northern village.
Previously announced Netflix original animated features on the horizon include the dark comedy “The Willoughbys”; Guillermo del Toro’s stop-motion “Pinocchio”; “Jacob and the Sea Beast” from “Moana” and “Big Hero 6” co-director Chris Williams; and “Wendell and Wild” from “Coraline” writer-director Henry Selick.
Pablos eventually considered a story in which Santa wasn’t even the main character, which led him to wonder: “What if Santa is a symbol for altruism and generosity, and [there is] a character who needs to learn that lesson?”Part of the charm of “Klaus” is an artistic style that resembles a hand-drawn storybook in motion. This was a feat made possible by Pablos and his team, who worked to develop tools that resolved some of traditional animation’s technical problems.
When 3D CGI films came on the scene, Pablos “never really thought that it would just replace traditional [animation]. Pablos is similarly pragmatic on his thoughts regarding streaming vs. theater when it comes to his films. As a person who “fell in love with cinema at the cinema,” he said it took him a bit of time to get used to the idea that “Klaus” would be a film mostly viewed by people at their homes.
