Jingle Jangle Journey: Abenteuerliche Weihnachten!

While I can't agree with the "best ever" crowd I certainly don't subscribe to horrible either. Something for everyone and that's what doesn't put it in the classic category for me. Like-able cast, like-able musical numbers, and like-able special effects just didn't add up to a love-it movie. Cut the flying scenes and love interest moments and it might have felt a little more focused.

What a magical movie!!! The colors!! The costumes!!! The singing!!! The sets!!!! The magic!!! It's a cross between The Wiz and Greatest Showman. I enjoyed every minute and will surely watch Jingle Jangle every Christmas holiday going forward right alongside Polar Express and Elf.

Jingle Jangle is such a pure, heartfelt movie. You will enjoy it.

This had all the ingredients for a great family Christmas film.

Good cast, check Solid story, check Great set and costume design, check Excellent special effects, check Top songs, check

Then whoever did the sound/music mixing and editing went and threw a massive spanner in the works.

When it comes to a musical, one of the most important things to get perfect is the sound, but oh my days... the levels are all over the place and it really makes a negative impact.

It's especially noticeable during songs where there are lots of dancing and additional background noises.

One moment everything sounds great, then the music it too quiet, then the vocals are too loud and then suddenly everything muddies together.

It's a shame, as it's a massive flaw in an otherwise enjoyable film.

I went in blind with this movie. I didn't watch the trailer. And I was pleasantly surprised. I love musicals hence my name. I adored some of the songs in the movie. The STORYLINE is EASY to follow if you pay attention. The people giving it negative reviews must be ADHD or just plain miserable and unimaginative. How can you say Felicia Rashad is crappy actor? What about Forrest Whittaker? Come on now. They are film veterans, y'all need to go back to bed and get back in on the right side.

The story essentially is about family and believing in yourself when all hope is lost. The impossible is POSSIBLE if you have faith in your ability. And don't forget to ask for help when you need it the most! How hard is that to follow? Don't listen to the negative people!

Watch it for yourself. Absolutely fantastical and purely for people with hearts!

Far beyond the usual Netflix Hallmark-style Christmas films, this one is high budget and very well produced. The musical numbers are fantastic and the costume design is marvellous. It's a tad cheesy and more than a little absurd, but the plot is solid and it's very charming.
