Jingle Jangle is available to stream on Netflix.
In the perennial hunt to find new-era holiday classics, some rise (Netflix's Klaus) and some fall (Disney+'s Noelle). Netflix's Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey, fortunately, is a worthy entry into "'tis the season" streaming and features a soaring spirit, enchanting musical numbers, and wholehearted messaging about love and magic.
Though Jingle Jangle is a touch overlong, which causes a few languid moments here and there, the bulk of it is a wonderful, wiry blend of steampunk and soft sorcery, spinning a yarn about a disgraced and depressed toymaker, betrayed long ago by his apprentice, who's brought back to life by his granddaughter. With spirited songs by Philip Lawrence and John Legend (who also serves as an executive producer), and a cozy clockwork town setting, the film is able to elevate above most other holiday fare.
Young Madalen Mills plays Journey, Jeronicus' granddaughter from his estranged daughter Jessica (The Princess and the Frog's Anika Noni Rose). During a holiday visit, a reluctant Jeronicus is forced to confront the light that left him in the form of the perpetually-inspired Journey, making this story sort of part-Grinch/part-Mr. Magorium.
Director/writer David E. Talbert (Almost Christmas, El Camino Christmas) successfully shapes a unique, whizzing world that, shockingly, doesn't come from a pre-existing book or fairy tale. It's an endearing original.
Jeronicus' adversary, sneaky toy stealer Gustafson, is gleefully played by comedian Keegan-Michael Key (who gets a fun musical number of his own) but the actual dangers in Jingle Jangle are kind of hollow. The important themes are regret, reconciliation, and learning to turn your life around and Gustafson is just the catalyst for all that. So much so that it barely matters that Gustafson is controlled/manipulated by a sentient bullfighter toy (created by Jeronicus 30 years earlier) voiced by Ricky Martin. If you focus too much on that, it's sort of insane and it blurs the entire story.
Jingle Jangle feels bigger than it is because of the music and set design. Aside from occasional CGI shots that show us a broader view of the town, and some animated interludes, it's actually a somewhat small production that uses its space wisely and whimsically. Many song-and-dance scenes take place in one room, as do a few action sequences, but because Talbert's direction never lets the energy die down completely all the underlying themes, both sad and joyful, resonate better.
Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey already feels like a timeless treat. Though it's a little longer than it needs to be, Jingle Jangle is still filled with enticing visuals, holiday heart, and seasonal cheer. It instantly feels like a snug, fabled world ready to be explored.
