Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey is now streaming on Netflix, and it is the holiday movie you won’t want to miss. Five minutes in, I was hooked. The first musical number had me feeling The Greatest Showman vibes. I wanted the soundtrack immediately. Magic, wonder, merriment, incredible acting, fantastic music. It’s spectacular!!
If you didn’t know Forest Whitaker could sing, you are missing out. I had NO IDEA until this movie. WHERE HAS THIS INFORMATION BEEN MY WHOLE LIFE??? And I can listen to Anika Noni Rose sing all day. Madelan Mills? That child has some major talent. I only wish I’d seen her on Broadway in “School of Rock.”

About Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey
A musical adventure and a visual spectacle for the ages, Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey is a wholly fresh and spirited family holiday event. Set in the gloriously vibrant town of Cobbleton, the film follows legendary toymaker Jeronicus Jangle (Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker) whose fanciful inventions burst with whimsy and wonder. But when his trusted apprentice (Emmy winner Keegan-Michael Key) steals his most prized creation, it’s up to his equally bright and inventive granddaughter (newcomer Madalen Mills)—and a long-forgotten invention—to heal old wounds and reawaken the magic within. From the imagination of writer-director David E. Talbert and featuring original songs by John Legend, Philip Lawrence, and Davy Nathan, Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey reminds us of the strength of family and the power of possibility.
