“Blessings be upon this house,’ said Granny, but in a voice that suggested that if blessings needed to be taken away, she could do that, too.”

Klaus, Netflix movie 2019. Directed by Sergio Pablos at the SPA studios Art direction : Marcin Jakubowski & Szymon Biernacki Here some Backgrounds of the Tradition sequence ! It was an awesome sequence to do in Layout and in Background color and I had the chance to be in charge of it.

I finally watched Klaus (2019) on Netflix today and I really cannot recommend it enough! The character and environment design is INCREDIBLE, the story is sweet and the humor is great, and it’s a 2D film that looks 3D! They used some 3D environment elements and props, but the blending is SEAMLESS and everything else is 2D with this AMAZING keyed lighting technique. 

It’s a Christmas movie about a selfish rich kid named Jesper who gets sent out to this HORRIBLE town in the middle of nowhere to be their latest postman. The town is consumed by a violent (and hilarious) generational feud, but Jesper can only escape if he manages to get the townspeople send 6000 letters within the year. The situation seems completely hopeless until he meets a woodsman named Klaus who makes toys. 

My classmates have been OBSESSED with it and I can finally see why. The artwork is amazing. If you have ever professed a love for 2D animation and the reasons that made it great, PLEASE watch Klaus.

Letters. You don’t really write many these days, do you? But I bet there’s one you never forget. Send it off to a certain plump guy in a red suit and, provided you’ve kept your act together more or less, he’ll drop off a toy or two. And yet, no one seems to wonder how the whole thing got started in the first place.

“I did start out in witchcraft to get boys, to tell you the truth.”

“Think I don’t know that?”

“What did you start out to get, Esme?”

Granny stopped, and looked up at the frosty sky and then down at the ground.

“Dunno,” she said at last. “Even, I suppose.”

―Terry Pratchett, “The Sea and Little Fishes”

“‘TELL ME, WHY WERE YOU CONTENT TO LIVE IN THIS TINY LITTLE COUNTRY WHEN, AS YOU KNOW, YOU COULD HAVE BEEN ANYTHING AND ANYBODY IN THE WORLD?’ 'I don’t know about the world, not much; but in my part of the world I could make little miracles for ordinary people. And I never wanted the world – just a part of it, a small part that I could keep safe, away from storms. Not the ones of the sky, you understand: there are other kinds’”

“Nanny Ogg scowled and said, “Granny never said as she was better than others. She just got on with it and showed ‘em and people worked it out for themselves.”

Granny Weatherwax: Get your mind right

Me: I'M TRYING ESME

[quotes-from-the-bookery]

“Are you watchin’, Mrs. Gogol? Are you watchin’ real close?”

Her gaze traveled the room and rested for just a fraction of a second on Magrat. 

Then she reached over, carefully, and thrust her arm up to the elbow into the burning torch. 

And the doll in Erzulie Gogol’s hands burst into flame

It went on blazing even after the witch had screamed and dropped it onto the floor. It went on burning until Nanny Ogg ambled over with a jug of fruit juice from the buffet, whistling between her teeth, and put it out. 

Granny withdrew her hand. It was unscathed. 

“That’s headology,” she said. “It’s the only thing that matters. Everything else is just messin’ about.”
