The Christmas movies are coming strong this year with yet another added to the bag on Netflix. This time its “Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey”. It is an upcoming musical Christmas movie coming up on Netflix, releasing on November 13th. The movie is a fun filled journey of a toymaker and his family living in a fantasy village. Also, an important thing to note is that it focuses on an all black cast, that too for a Christmas movie, which was mostly earlier helmed by an entire white cast.
The story is quite obvious from the trailer itself as it follows the journey of a famous toy maker Jeronicus Jangle in the town of Cobbletown. He is known for his fancy, mystical toys for people who come all different parts to get his toys. His toys reach different people and are known to give joy to people whoever gets their hands on them. After marvellous years of journey, they start falling down. As he is deceived by one of his own people. This breaks his heart and loses all hopes in regaining back the old glory of his.
Things take a turn for the good as his young, brilliant granddaughter comes to know about his plight and wants to help him in a way that will bring back his lost fame and his love for making beautiful toys for kids. The granddaughter sets out on a journey to reclaim everything that was lost. It takes just an invention from her, which turns the lives of the Jangle family into a better one. The movie is a full blown emotional piece for someone who has been really close to their grandparents and otherwise also. This movie focuses on the bonds of a grandfather and a grandchild and the journey of reclaiming something that was lost. It is an emotional rollercoaster with the added feeling of Christmas, which makes it another Christmas must watch movie.
The movie has legendary actors leading the cast like Forest Whitaker, Keagen-Michael Ray along with Hugh Bonneville and Anika Noni Rose. The movie is directed and written by David E. Talbert. The movie is produced by John Legend, Mike Jackson and Kristin Burr. The movie will definitely be heaving with emotions and will make you miss your close ones. Be ready for that!
