OF KLAUS AND PYGGS

In the mid-1500s when metal was scarce, pots and jars used to collect coins were often made of clay. One commonly used orange clay was called "pygg." Over time, families would fill these pygg jars with monies to be put aside for special purposes. Birthdays. Holidays. Christmas.

As the industrial revolution made durable iron more readily available, these pygg jars began to take on considerable weight, and, because of the name of the material from which they were originally made, the shape of pigs.

So what does a "piggy bank" have to do with an eighth-century Viking, his tales of adventure, and the attempt to make his story into a major motion picture? You, too, can play a part in the continuing story of Klaus the Red. If you have not yet received your piggy bank, contact us by snail mail to

Or, if you would prefer to virtually feed the piggy and help the writers of Klaus The Red raise the funds necessary to produce the movie on their own, click on the "donate" button below.

Sorry, we're not a non-profit; you therefore cannot take your donation as a tax deduction. But, you will have something greater. A sensation that is equal parts selfish and selfless: a chance to help launch a dream.

Believe.
