Review of Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey (2020) by Kpaul — 14 Nov 2020

Positives:

Solid children's Christmas movie. Broadway-style show numbers. World was built SO well! Best I've seen a "Christmas town" look. Performances are great. Negatives:

Music is pretty forgettable. Not bad but not something that stays with you. The main character wasn't introduced until 31 min mark. Slow to start. Long to end.

Personal thoughts: Black cast and WHO CARES? Race had nothing to do with any character's journey. But a black cast performing mostly(not a music expert) hiphop and soul numbers? The movie felt like it was stereotyping music to a specific race and therefore stereotyping the audience... I felt pretty unsettled.

I enjoyed this movie but it is not a holiday classic.
