It's about the origins of Santa Claus. Looks fucking lovely. Will it have any effect on the animation industry? Or is this just another one of 2D traditional animation's final death throes?
Have you heard of Klaus? Netflix produced fully 2D animated movie set to release 2019

I wish I could permaban all pedos furever.

I haven't seen 2D traditional animation of this calibre for a long time. The characters' and its expressive designs, the flow of their movement, the well-delivered physical comedy, the color pallet, everything screams post-Renaissance era Disney.
I feel bad that this type of animation had to go. I missed this.
Jose Morgan
fyi, this is actually not entirely 2D.
It's entire purpose is to shake up the animation industry and achieve what Disney has been trying to do since Paperman.
seamlessly blend 2D and 3D animation techniques
though they are doing it the opposite of disney.
Disney tried to make 3D look 2D with special shaders.
these guys are using traditional 2D animation, but using digital CG shaders and what seems like 3D environments/props to make it so you can never quite tell if it's actually really detailed digital 2D, or really 2D looking 3D

this looks cool but damn it's probably gonna bankrupt netflix, it feels like they're on a slow decline.
Angel Evans
the reason the animation feels so familiar is because it's headed by the guy who designed Dr Doppler in treasure planet.
Also looking at this guy's resume, he was fairly involved IN renaissance Disney, working as character designer or animator on movies like A Goofy Movie, Hunchback, Hercules, and Tarzan.
Also, he's the creator of the Despicable Me franchise. And thinking about it, it shows. You can see a lot of his animation quirks in characters like Gru, despite the transition to 3D hiding them a bit
Anthony Hernandez
interesting but i dont get the point of making 2d look like 3d
Wyatt Torres
I still hold Despicable Me as a fantastic movie lost in the cancer that is the resultant Minions craze.
Brandon Morris
probably something about how the 2D part makes it look and feel more heartfelt and the 3D part makes it pretty
Hunter Richardson
i'm not the only one, right?
Tyler Turner
same designer
see
the guy making Klaus is the guy who designed doppler
Anthony Roberts
Because that isn't the point. The idea is to blend the 2 into something new.
Ryan Bennett
where do you think we are
Ian Evans
>it's headed by the guy who designed Dr Doppler in treasure planet.
Not that user, but I loved the design and animation of Doppler in that movie, so that's cool as fug.
Easton Roberts
are they making a Klaus movie?
Ethan Stewart
It makes 2D more palletable in a post Pixar world.
Joseph Bailey
>Netflix produced
since when?
Owen Brown
according to google, november
Mason Nguyen
not that Klaus, but still santa claus
Liam Cox
They’re already in debt in the billions we’ll just have to enjoy these over budgeted movies while it lasts
Nicholas Powell
if only they didn't ruin it with that terrible 3d mimicry
Jaxson Bennett
You really think that's a small minority of people on Sup Forums?
Adrian Anderson
Well, you are still not in prison.
Cooper Jackson
>Enjoying fiction is deserving of jail time.
Thoughtcrime anyone?
Luke Bell
>Netflix produced
Into the trash it goes
Brandon Ramirez
I don't know if it's the sound mixing, the lip animation, or an expectation for him to sound like Dr. Doppler, but something about the voice isn't quite matching up with the footage. Anyone else get what I'm saying?
Dominic Perry
nope.
Dominic Campbell
The animation looks nice, but the premise doesn't interest me.
Camden Baker
>if i call it a thoughtcrime that means it isn;t disgusting
Next you're going to tell me drugs are a victimless crime.
Joseph Long
I choose to believe that this is canon with Arthur Christmas.
Joseph Stewart
They;re not, their userbase is still massively expanding along with revenue.
It's not unusual to have debt, most of their "debt" is content obligations, as in, the money they plan to spend over 5 years producing original content. and their revenue is above expectations. Their service is expanding quickly overseas and within the US.
And this is not to mention that Netflix isn't alone in creating quality content, other streaming services are expanding their libraries of original animation with content that looks promising.
Alexander Murphy
I really want this succeed, it has been a while since i saw this level of animation a feature film, and it seems like it could be a fun movie.
Justin Harris
they are
Dominic Nguyen
Calm down, Tumblr.
Andrew White
Same.
Mason Flores
cool, but it want restart popularity of 2d in the mainstream.
Nolan Wilson
This scene is very tiring to watch. He is too spastic.
Ayden Torres
...
but kids love spastic characters! just look at modern cartoon characters!
Jayden Gonzalez
I don't particularly like how they make the eyes glossy.
Landon Carter
i wonder how they do the lighting. nice bit of subsurface scattering in the ears.
Angel Fisher
Consumtion, yes. Mass production and distribution, no
Kayden Ross
what are those numbers off to the side for?
Christian Thomas
Much better way to do it than Paperman. Adding CG to a hand-drawn base works a lot better than adding hand-drawn to a CG base.
Aaron Gutierrez
>2d with 3d lighting
I like it.
Jeremiah Parker
The resemblance is uncanny
Sebastian Robinson
I remember seeing threads about it when the teaser came out, been keeping an eye on it a little every now and then to see if any progress has been made. Glad to hear the project is still alive, it looks really promising.
Julian Brooks
Anons mentioned it already
It's weird, I've seen Klaus clips before and I somehow never noticed the resemblance. But now after people pointed it out, I can't stop seeing it.
Daniel Cooper
Netflix is also releasing this:
