A stunning book exploring the art of Sergio Pablos' animated Christmas
original, Klaus.
When Jesper (Jason Schwartzman) distinguishes himself as the postal
academy's worst student, he is stationed on a frozen island above the
Arctic Circle, where the feuding locals hardly exchange words let alone
letters. Jesper is about to give up when he finds an ally in local
teacher Alva (Rashida Jones), and discovers Klaus (Oscar(R) winner J.K.
Simmons), a mysterious carpenter who lives alone in a cabin full of
handmade toys. These unlikely friendships return laughter to
Smeerensburg, forging a new legacy of generous neighbors, magical lore
and stockings hung by the chimney with care. An animated holiday comedy
directed by Despicable Me co-creator Sergio Pablos, KLAUS co-stars
Joan Cusack, Will Sasso and Norm Macdonald.
