This is all in part by the youth, what really ties the plot together.Īs I mentioned before (again), life in Smeerensburg is noticeably miserable but thanks to Klaus, by extension Jesper, the kids are enticed to do what it takes to get some genuine joy in their lives through the toys they’re able to get. They don’t take shortcuts with how he gets the ball rolling, both accidentally and purposefully, he boots up to get things done, pushes himself to go to Klaus to make things happen. The joy in hate is only for hatred’s sake, and they make it very clear how miserable it all feels. I mention before how it’s practically thin at first due to a long going feud that isn’t even aware of why it’s still going. That is another thing about this film: communication. He didn’t just want to do it for the children of the island, but for himself. It is no wonder he sees his wife in Jesper, it’s thanks to him that he could refurbish his dashed dream into a new one. You’re with him and Jesper as he, after familiar winds provide him a letter, a small spark to do something good, soon opens up and gets reminded of what’s kept him going all these years. Klaus feels like a real person, not just another take on the mythical man.
A well established woodsman, a crafter both of living, for him and the birds that reside in his woods, and recreation with the toys he made himself not just for kids, but specifically the kids he and his wife wanted but couldn’t have. This is genuinely the most clever interpretation of Santa I know, hands down. So it’s probably responsible of me to warn you that the humor may have lasting side effects. Right there, in front of the printer in front of all my coworkers. Sometimes, during my work day, I’ll be minding my own business when my brain will randomly conjure up a segment from this show and I’ll start snickering. And even better if you have an understanding of certain aspects of Chinese culture: some of these gags are sure to hit you like a truck and send you flying. None of the jokes are cheap or low-effort, and their deliveries are also spot-on. One without any class or consideration of reason, but sufficiently imaginative and cringeworthy to generate a real impact on you. It’s a story written by a twelve-year-old.
Yet, it somehow manages to be even funnier than you’d expect because it’s not just any story come to life. It’s somewhat of a cross between Enchanted and The Romance of Tiger and Rose, in which the clash between a cliche storybook world and mundane reality produces a humorous culture shock effect. Build abs with your laughter – there’s not really a way for a show with such a setup to be boring.
