There should be a name for the feeling you get when you turn on a movie then very soon realize that it’s a musical.

Personally, I’m more than down to watch some good fun pseudoscientific propaganda for STEM, especially when it is as ornate and extra as this rich piece of holiday confection is.

2020 list - Click HEREAn imaginary world comes to life in a holiday tale of an eccentric toymaker, his adventurous granddaughter, and a magical invention that has the power to change their lives forever. This is essentially a Broadway show for half of the film, as the musical numbers are filmed and displayed to feel like something happening on a stage instead of a screen. This only works if you have the direction to compliment it, and the film was truly able to work well on that note. It is a fantastical and magical tale that will stick with so many kids who watch at the right age. The film is clearly built for kids…

Didn't watch any previews or read any reviews.
Had no idea this was a musical.The songs were pleasant and it felt like you could sing-a-long with them and not really knowing the words but the medleys were perfect and I loved every song! The one that got me dancing was "Make It Work". Very upbeat!
Dance choreography was beautiful.
Costumes were very nice. That blue/brown coat Forest was wearring looked soooo comfy and cozy. I wanted to reach through the screen and feel the fabric!
Loved how they blended the telling of the story there in that toy/puppet animation.Wonderful cast! The cast was right on with their roles.
-Forest Whitaker kind of reminded me of Morgan Freeman playing… -
like a Christmas stocking bursting at the seams with too many goodies, Jingle Jangle is overstuffed and messy in the best sorts of ways. there’s steampunk-y knickknacks that whirl and spin, stop motion interludes, colorful feather boas and wigs, a flying robot named Buddy, a sentient doll, magical math equations that glow in the air, and hip hop musical numbers. yeah -- this would’ve been my favorite thing when I was 8 years old, which is the audience it’s geared towards. it’s a candy - colored musical extravaganza bundled in shiny Christmas wrapping paper, what’s not to enjoy?
ps: why was the Keegan Michael Key villain’s number literally just the onceler song from the Lorax but live action??
pss: nothing beats this review

This is like THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL meets THE GREATEST SHOWMAN meets SANTA CLAUS: THE MOVIE, but not as good as any of them. The script is blah but the costumes and the dance numbers are pretty great.
