Fancy reindeer must jingle
February 9, 2022
Getting into the Christmas spirit wasn’t always my thing, but this
year I decided to make some changes. This Christmas I spend more
time sipping hot chocolate and watching holiday movies by the
fireplace. Most people spend their time watching Netflix (such as me)
and since Netflix always has something seasonal going on I decided
to watch two of their movies.
Klaus:
The best way to get into the Christmas spirit is by watching Christmas
movies. A Christmas movie that is found on Netflix is Klaus. Klaus was
released in 2019, directed by Sergio Pablos. The setting takes place on an
island called Smeerensburg. The main character Jesper Johanssen (Jason
Schwartzman) is sent to this island because he takes post mailing for
granted, he thinks that he could live under his father for his whole life and
takes things for granted. His father sends him off to work alone and to raise
a certain amount by Christmas. When Jesper Johanssen first met
year I decided to make some changes. This Christmas I spend more

Klaus (J.K. Simmons) he viewed him as a scary person, but later started to
see how Klaus was a great toymaker. Sitting on the couch with hot
chocolate in your hands, the fireplace turned on, and just relaxing and the
need to feel the Christmas spirit. The movie told the history of Christmas in
a funnier and outstanding way; Sergio Pablos made sure that he showed
how children felt when they wake up early in the morning to find presents in
their homes, how Santa had flying reindeer, and also why children should
never bully or misbehave or no Christmas gift for them. Although this movie
was an animation, I felt that it still showed a lot of characterizations. They
showed how Klaus was someone who could be sad, who was able to
laugh, and someone who gets upset, instead of showing Klaus as someone
who never has any other emotions other than just laughter. While watching
it there were many heart-touching moments (such as when Jesper
Johanssen reorganized Klaus’s workshop) and funny moments ( when
Jesper Johannssen’s horse couldn’t move the carriage filled with toys and
Jesper spends his time chasing and getting killed around. While all Klaus
did was lure the reindeer in by putting food on the ground).

Jingle Jangle:
Jingle Jangle is directed by David E. Talbert. This energetic musical
Christmas movie was released on November 13, 2020. A 9-year-old girl
named Journey (Madalen Mills) is the granddaughter of the amazon
toymaker Jeronicus (Forest Whitaker). The grandfather had a book filled
with all his inventions and some future inventions; the moment his
apprentice Gustafson (Keegan-Michael Key) had stolen the book was the
moment that Jeronicus lost all belief and talent in making toys. Towards the
climax of the story Journey and Jeronicus had their first fun time together
as granddaughter and grandfather. I loved this not only because of the
cultural diversity because not in all movies do you get to see a black male
or female actors playing an important role; but also the fact that the female
lead is someone who is smart, strong-willed, and courageous. During the
snowball fight, they played one of my favorite Nigerian songs, and
what killed it all was the dance moves that went along with the beat.
