Chock full of musical numbers, colorful Victorian costumes, flying robots, and magical glowing calculus equations, âJingle Jangle: A Christmas Journeyâ has something for everyone. Directed by Christmas-movie veteran, David E. Talbert, Netflix s new big budget Christmas film follows genius inventor and toy maker Jeronichus Jangle (Forest Whitaker). Jangle has just created his greatest invention of all time, a fully sentient clockwork matador toy named Don Juan Diego. After being betrayed by his unappreciated apprentice, Gustafson (Keegan-Michael Key), Jangle loses the magic of invention and falls into depression. It is not until years later, when his granddaughter, Journey (Madalen Mills) comes to visit, that he rediscovers the magic of invention.
