Netflix has debuted the first teaser trailer for the upcoming Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey, one of Netflix’s legendary festive movies that I simply cannot resist every year from around November onwards. This one is written and directed by David E. Talbert and features a cast that includes the likes of Forest Whitaker, Madalen Mills, Keegan-Michael Key, Sharon Rose, Phylicia, Rashad, Anika Noni Rose, Ricky Martin, Kieron Dyer, Justin Cornwell, Lisa, Davina Phillip, and Hugh Bonneville.
Here’s the story.
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, Davy Nathan, and “This Day” performed by Usher and Kiana Ledé, Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey reminds us of the strength of family and the power of possibility.
The movie will be available on Netflix worldwide from 13th November. Here’s the trailer.
