So as I mentioned this is one of my favorite animations of all time...
The movie tells the story of a rich and ungrateful kid who's sent as a postman to a foreign land. There he meets... klaus; aka, santa claus.
So basically the movie is the story of the origin of santa. When you hear that you think of all the movies and cartoons you've seen over the years with a christmas theme! Well... throw them out the window.
Perhaps like prophets who come in the worst time and to the worst people... this movie also followed that idea.
The movie is brief; but even in that short time it shows you how change occurs in a community... How societies evolve and change for the better... You always hear that children are the future... but this movie shows you what these words actually mean.
It talks about the importance of traditions and ancestors and pride for people and how these same traditions can become obsessions and rot the minds of young generations.
These are all complicated subjects but the movie shows all these concepts in the simplest way imaginable.
The whole movie is an embodiment of the word kindness...
"A true act of kindness"
It shows how even when your kindness isn't truthful... kindness itself makes your actions true overtime... it changes you... Kindness towards your family, your neighbors, your friends, your students, your teacher, even people who are different. Even when the world dictates you otherwise.
Kindness... You undrestand what it means... slowly... and it warms your heart. So in the end you are left with a fabulous sensation. A sense of hope... Its a blissful movie.
BUT its not the kind you can just talk about... You have to watch it.
So lets just watch.
Rate: 10/10
