And then I got the flu, which I\u2019m just now (hopefully) recovering from as I write this five days after I was supposed to see those movies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of traveling to the theater, I spent my weekend (as well as Monday and half of Tuesday) confined to bed. Then, something else happened on Monday. The Academy Awards released their nominations, which I\u2019ll get into much more detail about in two weeks\u2019 time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the Best Animated Feature Film category, two smaller films made the list, one of which was \u201cKlaus,\u201d distributed by Netflix. As the streamer is apt to do, it gave the film a very limited release back in November before making it available to its subscribers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, I am one of those subscribers, and as I was confined to my house, I spent a most enjoyable two hours watching \u201cKlaus.\u201d The heartwarming film was like a nice cup of soup for my ailing body and mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The animated film is from first-time director Sergio Pablos, who developed the story behind the hit \u201cDespicable Me\u201d franchise. He also wrote \u201cSmallfoot.\u201d Most recently, Pablos created his own animation studio in Spain, which is where the new film \u201cKlaus\u201d was born.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By MARK VIOLA So, last week I had plans to see the last two 2019 films to receive wide theatrical releases: \u201c1917\u201d and \u201cJust Mercy.\u201d I even had my tickets reserved and seats picked out.
