MICHEL MARTIN, HOST:
And finally today - throughout the month, we've been inviting you to discover new holiday films and songs that offer a fresh take on that much-loved but maybe well-worn holiday fare. And now, courtesy of Netflix, a new musical called "Jingle Jangle."
(SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "JINGLE JANGLE")
UNIDENTIFIED ACTORS: (As characters, singing) Oh, forget about yesterday. It's dead and gone away. The only thing that matters is right now...
MARTIN: "Jingle Jangle" is the story of a brilliant inventor and toymaker named Jeronicus Jangle, played in later life by Forest Whitaker. Jeronicus is down on his luck after his betrayal by a once trusted apprentice. But then his granddaughter Journey, whom he's never met, comes to visit. The two of them join forces to right past wrongs - and of course, since this is a Christmas movie, after all, find true meaning in family and relationship.
