Klaus centers on a young, Scandinavian postman named Jesper who gets the chance to make his mark when he’s tasked with bringing the postal service to a contentious village in the cold north, where he meets a mysterious, white-bearded toymaker named Klaus. The film introduces a unique animation style which blends traditional hand-drawn animation techniques with cutting edge technology.
The movie is a passion project for Despicable Me co-creator Sergio Pablos, who first came up with the idea for it in 2010. Klaus stars Jason Schwartzman (Jesper), J.K. Simmons (Klaus), Rashida Jones (Alva), Joan Cusack (Mrs. Krum), Norm Macdonald (Mogens), and Will Sasso (Mr. Ellingboe).
The movie is produced by Jinko Gotoh (The Little Prince, The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part), Gustavo Ferrada, and Marisa Román. The movie will arrive this holiday season.
