I think the whole "a selfless act spurs on another" in context of the film is more about how you can start doing good things for selfish reasons but if you do it enough it'll become second nature to you and you'll start actually acting selflessly like how Vesper starts the whole Santa thing to get more letters but ultimately continues it because of the joy it brings to children and how it improves the town. Virtue is shown as habitual not unlike Aristotelian virtue ethics.

I wish they had committed to the ‘twist’. Imagine how much stronger the ending would have been if the kids woke up and there were no toys. No toys, and it seems like they’re going to go back to their old ways immediately, but then it cuts to them giving their toys to each other. They realise maybe Mr. Klaus is overworked, it’s unfair of them to expect him to do so much, and they can look out for each other. Maybe some have even tried their hands at making toys themselves, PROVING the heads of the feuding families wrong when they say the children are just being bribed.

Whereas my sister claims we should make a "new tradition," one that involves eating pizza on Thanksgiving instead.

Your idea about the liar reveal trope is interesting but tbh it was so hard to imagine the final outcome while we were making the movie that I think most of us were just surprised that it actually worked as a whole when we saw the final product :) I think this scene is intended more as an emotional climax rather than a believable plot point, and in that regard I think it is really effective!

I didn't mind the "spoiled city kid sent to the boonies" plot in this film, mostly because it did put a bit of a twist on it. Most of the time when a movie has this plot the town/residents are already really great (if odd), and the main character has to have it repeatedly hammered home that a simple life is better/more meaningful than their old life in the city. This movie had the town be terrible, giving Jesper a legitimate reason to want to leave, and it focused on how Jesper and Klaus changed the town for the better instead of getting him to see how great it is. I found that oddly refreshing.

You're right. For the first few minutes of the film I was thinking "Ok, this guy is just a Kuzco-like copycat" and I started to lose interest since I already figured out that at the end he would become a selfless person because the trope demanded it. As much as people praise this movie, the tropes it uses are so overdone I can't really enjoy it. For a movie that tried to bring back 2d animation, I feel like they should've worked more on making the story unique, maybe create twists on the clichés, but they didn't even try.

Ariel is actually the princess I feel like fits the best with the whole rebel and change, she literally rebels her father's wishes changes from fish person to land dweller. All the princess are somewhat rebellious one way or another because that personally type appeals to young girls. Repunzal is rebellious in that she wants to go outside and disobey Mother Gothal, which is what you describe but it's done very well. Mulan doesn't fit her family's expectations and pretends to be a man to take the place of her father in the war. Pocahontas goes against her society's/fathers expectations. Belle and her father is strange to the town's people around her and go against what is normal. Anna is quirky/goofy and wants to find love, but she's not rebellious and is just lonely. Haven't seen Moana so I can't say anything about her. Cinderella is passive, but she's still has a bit of spice compared to the next two.

Probably not though. Princess and the frog suffered from two things: 1) Disney's own self-sabotaging, by marketing 3d animation as the "new best thing", despite the fact that animation-wise, the 2D animation of the 90's and early 2000's was absolutely stunning and I would argue, visually superior to anything made in 3D, to this very day. Disney basically WANTED 2D to fail. And because Disney basically has a monopoly at this point, there is nothing that could be done about it. Kids are eager to follow the new hype and stick to their own stupidity, and parents don't give a crap so long as it keeps their brats quiet. Behold, the death of art through industry. 2) Princess and the Frog is a mediocre film in terms of story-telling. It's villain is uninteresting and is barely in the movie to begin with, the main character is basically perfect in every single way, and the only one that goes on an actual character arc is the male frog. There is barely any heart in the film, other than the music. If Disney wanted to test out 2D animation, P&TF was the worst choice. So my guess is that no, 2D animation will not make a comeback if Disney maintains their practical if not theorectical monopoly of western animation. Given how willing Disney has shown itself to simply milk a franchise into the ground with live-action remakes that lack any and all creative integrity, it would be naïve to think they would have the artistic integrity to bring back some actual creative vision. Oh well, at least there is still anime, though Japanese studios are going through a horrible phase of capitalist greed as well. Hard to find a single studio that isn't grasping for financial aid at this point. Ugly-ass CGI stiffness seems to have become the norm. We can also thank pirating for that.

I agree pretty much 100% with what you've said. From the emperor's new groove to the comparison's to the dogtor from treasure planet the cliche liar revealed trope and your idea to change that. You've also brilliantly described thing's I didn't take into account, like the town being a character. Anyone who's seen movies dating from at least the 80's to the 90's knows all to well the liar revealed trope and knew it was coming in Klaus. I was hoping that it would be such a non-issue for this movie, like the dad just shows up at Jespers office and is like "it's time to go" but instead it's the same thing as any other reveal. "How could you? You lied to us!" It's so pointless. Like, what are they gonna do? Rip all the decorations down and take back all the presents from the kids? You idea of having it so they instead thank him for selfish yet helpful motives and action's would've been brilliant. Maybe his girlfriend being mad at first for feeling betrayed would make sense but then Klaus steps in to stand up and thank Jesper. Still, cliche tropes aside, great movie and great review.

I wish western movies took inspiration from anime and had conflicts be just character conflicts instead of stuff like liar revealed. Because as I was watching the movie I was thoroughly enjoying Jespers growth but my enjoyment comes to a halt as soon as the town's leaders showed upon screen. It would've been different if for instance they tried to ruin Jesper and his efforts at every turn only to realize that it was pointless as their traditions was being buried by kindness and goodwill.

While i agree it’s highly overused and cliche, the idea of the “Liar revealed” trope i think has less to do with the reveal, but the point is more about the emotional betrayal From knowing someone you care about and or who means something to you, abused your trust, lied and or manipulated you. if you look at it in those terms i have less problems with the trope, being as the point is that the turmoil comes from knowing someone you care about didn’t respect you and or was using you which can be hurtful and make people dismissive. Now again the issue is its so cliche and often had assed and or not given proper weight that it falls flat one good example is How to Train your dragon, when Stoick learns that hiccup has been keeping toothless and he disowns him, when he leaves the hut you see him stagger and his facial features react as we see him contemplate what he’s just done, and it gives the entire thing a different feel and weight to it other than “you lied to me”

One thing that I did really enjoy about this movie was the fact that one of it's tropes, the 'sent somewhere until you can achieve something', was done slightly different. In nearly every version of this, the sufferer has had to stand up to the person who sent them there in the first place. However, this isn't really the case in Klaus? Jesper's dad has to ask him about it and is remarkably understanding and is super supportive of his desire to stay, so it's such a nice change! We're growing into the time when parents need to actually listen to their kids and be supportive of them wanting to grow, not the child having to break all contact with their parents when it does come time for them to leave the nest
