Some people may not find this as a ‘wow’ factor to watch this movie, but you really gotta appreciate the impetus that drove Talbert into making this movie!

David E. Talbert was incredibly disappointed by a lack of diversity in some of his favorite movies from childhood, such as “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,” “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” and the original “Doctor Doolittle.”

So he decided to have a diverse cast in some of the major roles in “Jingle Jangle,” which is exactly what makes the movie stand out from the rest of the holiday pack.

He says in the film’s production notes, “As an artist and creator, I want to make a film that inspires and entertains. I just want to have it be more representative of the world. Something that says people of color can exist in a magical world.”

Moreover, the cast features some incredibly well-known talents including Forest Whitaker, Keegan-Michael Key and Phylicia Rashad, also the young newcomer Madalen Mills, whose smile is just enough to lure you into watching this movie.

Aren’t you bored of that same-old Christmas music? Because we are!

Perhaps the most delightfully surprising aspect of Jingle Jangle is that it has an original and catchy Christmas soundtrack.

And why wouldn’t it be? When John Legend’s production company Get Lifted is behind the film! He contributed to its original songs and that also a brand new song, “This Day” performed by Usher and Kiana Ledé. The song could be nominated for the Best Original Song category—it’s that good!

Accompanied with some energetic dance sequences and strong vocal performances throughout Talbert’s work, the film is enjoyable and digestible despite its long run-time (2 hrs).

Because it has some really cool special effects!
