Uma Invenção de Natal

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.

I am a sucker for a good Christmas film, and a good underdog story. This one hit all the right notes. Yes, there are tooth-achingly cheesy moments-what would a good Christmas film be without those? But more importantly, when this movie hits your heartstrings, it really hits HOME. I was sobbing in the best, happy-cry way at multiple points, and when everything ties up with a bow at the end, it feels so truly well-earned. This captures the real meaning of Christmas-it's definitely going on the once-a-year Christmas film rotation.

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.

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!

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.
