Aesop Animation - Klaus (Patreon)

Hey guys! Sorry for the lack of updates, but we're back with some brand new Aesop Animation characters! Starting with Klaus - the funny sidekick dwarf who aided Snow White and Rose Red in their adventure to break the curse of the bear princes'.

As much as Aesop Animation is known for their wonderful protagonists and diabolical villains, they're often times more remembered for their quirky side characters. Such is the case of Klaus, the breakout star of Aesop's rendition of Snow White and Rose Red. Known for his clumsy goofiness but good nature, Klaus helped the girls in their adventures in finding a magical jewel to break the spell of the bear brothers, and so popular was Klaus in the series that Aesop Animation was able to create their own spin-off animated series and prequel movie focusing on Klaus of all. Despite Klaus becoming his own iconic amongst humans, he still considered the girls and princes his family, and over the years has tried his best to act as mediator and peacekeeper in their ever growing dramatic outburst. Which, naturally, carried over to when Rose Red and Snow White got their own reality show. Still, even Klaus has his limits, and it won't belong before the straw breaks the camels back and Klaus decides his family's drama isn't worth it anymore, especially if it's going to be for the entertainment of humans. Seems like the kinda thing Simon Says would take advantage of...

So yeah, with Aesop Animation being the NRGVerse stand in for Disney and a lot of animation studios, one thing I wanted to do was highlight the trope of quirky sidekicks who break out into their own stardom. It's ultimately going to range from character to character, but with Klaus I wanted him to be the sidekick who holds his whole cast-family together and how it becomes a challenge over the years. The last bit with Simon I mention in his entry was a last minute idea, as I figured if his family were going to have their problems televised for human entertainment, it seemed like the kinda thing that Simon would likely use to gain another ally in Klaus.

Hope you guys love this new NRG Cartoon! Let us know with a comment below!
