History Heartwarming / Klaus2019

** It should be noted that Jesper speaks up to apologize for his actions, Klaus merely signals for him to focus on making toys, no doubt [[{{Forgiveness}} having accepted whatever apology he had in store beforehand]].

** Jesper initially tries to make the sled himself, even though it's late in the night and he obviously has no idea how to even make one. Nonetheless, Klaus sees the effort that Jesper's put in, and helps him finish it.

* Although it entails a [[DownerEnding tragic ending]], Klaus's backstory on why he made so many toys in his youth is teeming with loving intentions. He made each toy to give the children he and Lydia wanted to have. Despite his backstory ending [[ForegoneConclusion with those children never being born]], it's too sweet to imagine how readily Klaus would've gifted all those toys to the child that would've been born to him and his wife. If that's an indication of how much they wanted children, one gets the feeling the two would've made [[GoodParents fantastic parents]].

** Klaus surprising Jesper with the newly made reindeer sleigh, which now has both their names carves on the seats, giving the sense that Jesper is his helper.

* The Saami people gifting Klaus with a custom-made Saami outfit, colored the trademark [[RedIsHeroic jolly red]] we are all familiar with. It's perfectly brings full circle to every Santa Claus lore being brought to life in this movie.

** While it’s mostly silly, after Pumpkin and Olaf crash into each other, Mr. Ellingboe shouts, “I’m still proud of you!”

** The implication Klaus was such a good, selfless, humble person that he transcended death and become [[DeityOfHumanOrigin something so much more]], with the same having happened to his wife.

** The little boy's father (from the Krum side) seemingly sets off to fix the hole in his fence. ...[[BaitAndSwitch only to build a playfort and tear down the fence so his son can play with his Ellingboe friends]]. You can tell their good deed to nurse him back to health after breaking his foot [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe were not in vain]]. He and the Ellingboe mother are later seen walking side-by-side with their gathered children during the festival, hinting that they may have become an OfficialCouple while the audience wasn't looking.

** One Ellingboe boy polishing his dad's old clarinet. The father is rather surprised to see his clarinet in good condition. The next time he joins the other Ellingboes in trying to be noisy to the Krums, he plays it more passionately. Later on, this leads to both sides playing their instruments, not to be noisy and rude, but to play together as a band.

* After blowing up at Jesper over him accidentally revealing the shelf he'd made with his late wife, Klaus goes to find Jesper, [[WasTooHardOnHim presumably to apologise]], and ultimately comes across him sleeping after a long night of making toys himself. He immediately takes over, and gestures for him to join in when he wakes up.

--> '''Mogens:''' Well that's a first. Never saw a postman looking more miserable leaving than on the day they came in. Oh well. Best leave it alone, I say. [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial I'm sure it's nothing that can fester and eventually become a source of resentment and regret.]]

--> '''Jesper:''' ''(in awe)'' A true act of good will...
--> '''Klaus:''' ...always sparks another. Never fails!

--> '''Jesper:''' (with bemused warmth) What am I supposed to do, huh? Stay in this little town forever. Hanging out with an [[NiceGuy old woodsman]], surrounded by [[TrueCompanions crazy people]], and [[CharacterDevelopment never wanting more]].

* Seeing the children clean up Smeerensberg and doing good deeds with their families following suit. Although Jesper believes they're just doing it for the presents, there's a sense that [[ChildrenAreInnocent the children]] are doing the good deeds [[SincerityMode earnestly]].

** Take a look at the drawings she hangs around the classroom: a few of them show the kids giving Jesper their letters.

** It's sweet to know Jesper's children were raised in a peaceful generation long after the Krum-Ellingboe feud ended. Part of their bedtime ritual his Jesper proudly saying he must "stamp the letter!" before kissing them on the forehead.

** It's sweet to know Jesper's children were raised in a peaceful generation long after the Krum-Ellingboe feud ended.

** The poignant yet kind look in Klaus's eyes when he watches the boy play with his toy. Becomes even more heartwarming (and [[TearJerker sadder]]) when one realizes the context: this is his second-hand way of experiencing the [[GoodFeelsGood joy]] of bestowing his toys to the children he never had.

** Just the way the children find genuine joy in learning to write their own names. It may seem like such a small thing, but to them, they earnestly want to know what their names look like in writing. The look in her eyes when she sees her new-found students eager for this knowledge subtly hints [[RestoredMyFaithInHumanity what she's thinking]].

* Alva giving a tour of the newly reformed Smeerensburg, and how it's become a town full of caring neighbors and happy children and warmth. It also doubles as a bonding moment for Alva and Jesper.
