	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Debruge Variety	"A serviceable Christmas-themed distraction (...) Frankly, it all seems much too complicated for what it is."
		John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"An unexpected charmer (...) I contains echoes of other seasonal favorites (...) while standing completely on its own (...) [Its story] is perfectly complimented by its visual style"
		Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"[It] has storybook charm, and the wonder lands even if the jokes don’t (...) 'Klaus' gets the sentimentality just right"
		Steven Scaife Slant	"'Klaus' essentially becomes a metaphor for its unique and refreshing mode of expression (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Nick Harley Den of Geek	"[It offers a] visually distinctive animated entertainment that could prove enticing to kids and their parents alike (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Robert Abele Los Angeles Times	"The big hitch is that 'Klaus' is rarely laugh-out-loud funny with its paper-thin characters (...) What does work is the snowy, hilly luster of this bygone-era fairy tale environment"
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"Despite the nourishing consistency of the film’s design (...) the rest of 'Klaus' is all over the map (...) None of the characters in 'Klaus' are as delightful as they are well-drawn"
		Edward Porter The Times	"'Klaus' is reasonably well delivered. The highly cartoony visual style is nicely retro and the story’s ending is quite sweet (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Mike McCahill The Guardian	"Solid first and third acts can’t disguise a so-so middle section stuffed with conventional story beats (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
