The Netflix film Jingle Jangle: A Christmas
Journey is a musical adventure and a visual spectacle for the ages - 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-producer
David E. Talbert, the film features original songs by John Legend, Philip Lawrence, Davy Nathan, and "
This Day" performed by
Usher featuring
Kiana Ledé, Jingle Jangle: A Christmas
Journey reminds us of the strength of family and the power of possibility. The Netflix film will be available globally on November 13th.
