Have you ever wondered how it all began, the arrangement by which a jolly old toymaker based somewhere near the North Pole makes the rounds each Christmas to bring presents to all the good little b…

Now, you should know something crucial about “” going in: There’s only one way to see it, and that’s from Netflix, which commissioned the feature-length cartoon from former Disney talent Pablos and his Spain-based animation studio.

Klaus isn’t even the main character of “Klaus.” That would be a feckless brat named Jesper, the hard-to-like son of the Rockefeller-like titan behind the international postal service, or some such. You can — and many will — supply other rich-daddy types as possible inspirations for the character, though the point here is that the espresso-sipping, work-shirking Jesper needs to be taught a lesson.

Compared with Klaus, who becomes the unwitting patsy in his plan, Jesper is a spindly toothpick of a guy, whereas the bearded fella looks like some kind of colossus standing beside him, with a deep-bass voice to match . Klaus isn’t nearly as friendly as legend has it. He’s actually more of a hermit, a former woodsman sealed away in his cabin at the top of the mountain.

Turns out Smeerenburg is the feuding capital of the world, where the adults wage daily battles with one another and raise their kids to be spiteful, unhappy haters. Their pranks make for entertaining visual gags, at least, but Jesper has his work cut out for him: For his new mail system to work, he must first teach the youngsters to have fun, and he invents additional conditions as his gift plan gathers steam — like the whole naughty-versus-nice thing.
