One of Netflix’s best-animated movies of all time happens also to be a Christmas movie. We’re, of course, referring to Klaus and hoping to take the mantle of best Christmas animated movie on Netflix this year by That Christmas, coming from British studio Locksmith Animation based in London.
Based on Richard Curtis’s series of children’s books, Simon Otto, best known for his work on How to Train Your Dragon for DreamWorks Animation, will bring the movie to life.
Described as a heartwarming comedy by Netflix, here’s what you can expect, “That Christmas follows a series of entwined tales about family and friends, love and loneliness, and Santa Claus making a big mistake, not to mention an enormous number of turkeys!”
