A journey filled with magic and wonder and amazing film reviews….
In
late October, we had ‘Holidate,’ a
rom-com starring Emma Roberts and Luke Bracey as the holiday film.
And
then came “Operation Christmas Drop,”
another rom-com based on a real U.S Air Force humanitarian mission starring Kat
Graham and Alexander Ludwig.
And
now we have “Dash & Lily,” already coming up this week.
The
holiday season is officially here… At Least that’s how it looks like from our
Netflix homepage, right?
Netflix
is determined to make sure our holidays don’t go in vain. So, the streaming giant
decided to drop a whole genre dedicated to only seasonal/holiday movies.
No
matter if you’re truly mentally or physically prepared to enjoy this year’s
holiday season, Netflix’s latest jingle jangle 2020 is worth being the highlight of your
holiday night with the family.
Yes,
we’re talking about Jingle Jangle: a Christmas Journey! Stage director and filmmaker, David E. Talbert had this
idea for roughly two decades, which has now finally arrived on our screens. And
considering this fact, it’s not a surprise to learn that this musical flick was
originally intended for live theatre.

Some
people may not find this as a ‘wow’ factor to watch this movie, but you really
gotta appreciate the impetus that drove Talbert into making this movie!
David
E. Talbert was incredibly disappointed by a lack of diversity in some of his
favorite movies from childhood, such as “Chitty
Chitty Bang Bang,” “Willy Wonka and
the Chocolate Factory” and the original “Doctor Doolittle.”
So
he decided to have a diverse cast in some of the major roles in “Jingle Jangle,” which is exactly what
makes the movie stand out from the rest of the holiday pack.
He
says in the film’s production notes, “As
an artist and creator, I want to make a film that inspires and entertains. I
just want to have it be more representative of the world. Something that says
people of color can exist in a magical world.”
Moreover, the cast features some
incredibly well-known talents including Forest Whitaker, Keegan-Michael Key and
Phylicia Rashad, also the young newcomer Madalen Mills, whose smile is just
enough to lure you into watching this movie.
Because it has an original Christmas
soundtrack!

Aren’t
you bored of that same-old Christmas music? Because we are!
Perhaps
the most delightfully surprising aspect of Jingle
Jangle is that it has an original and catchy Christmas soundtrack.
And
why wouldn’t it be? When John Legend’s production company Get Lifted is behind
the film! He contributed to its original songs and that also a brand new song,
“This Day” performed by Usher and Kiana Ledé. The song could be nominated for
the Best Original Song category—it’s that good!
Accompanied
with some energetic dance sequences and strong vocal performances throughout
Talbert’s work, the film is enjoyable and digestible despite its long run-time
(2 hrs).
Because it has some really cool special
effects!

The
movie features really generous doses of enchanting slow-motion and special
effects, which rightly gives you all the magical feel you wanted this holiday.
Jingle Jangle perfectly outshines in
the look department: from the cinematography and special effects to the costumes,
everything has its heart in the right place!
Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey release date is decided to be November 13.
