The Paley Center for Media is giving viewers a glimpse of the magic behind the scenes of Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey.

Talbert Writer: David E. Talbert Actors: Forest Whitaker, Keegan-Michael Key, Hugh Bonneville, Anika Noni Rose, Madalen Mills, Phylicia Rashad, Ricky Martin, Justin Cornwell, Sharon Rose, Lisa Davina Phillip, Kieron L. Dyer, Miles Barrow, Diaana Babnicova, Ria Calvin, Kenyah Sandy, Tobias Poppe, Abraham Popoola Blurb from IMDb: An 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. Cat’s Point of View: I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey is destined to become a holiday classic. Not only did I absolutely adore this movie, I believe that it will resonate well with most audiences. All the ingredients for a rousing and magical family Christmas miracle are present within this film, and it does, indeed, take you on quite the emotional journey to get there. (I also love the play on words with the title.) I can certainly relate to Mr. Jangle in many ways. Sometimes wonky things happen and it’s easy to crawl into a little hole while distance grows between yourself and those you love. At least, it’s been known to happen for me. I find my way under a rock even without disastrous life events sending me scurrying for cover. It’s the heaviness of depression whispering in one’s ear, weighing you down, and not knowing what to say or how to spark yourself out of the funk. After what happens to Mr. Jangle, I can certainly empathize with his situation. When you’re stuck in a rut of just going through the motions, sometimes it takes a good kick in the pants by someone that cares for you to get you motivated to pick yourself up and get going again. A fire requires some sort of spark to ignite, after all. I loved the nuances of how the persistent young aspiring inventor and the granddaughter become that catalyst as they chip away at what’s holding Jangle down. Of course, who doesn’t enjoy a story that not only involves miracles but also justice and redemption?! For the icing on the Christmas cake, the cast was absolutely phenomenal. Forest Whitaker (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, How it Ends, Godfather of Harlem) was remarkable. This part called for quite the emotional gauntlet and, as always, he rose to the occasion with grace. I always enjoy seeing Phylicia Rashad (Do No Harm, Creed II, Black Box) involved in projects as well. Unlike the last movie we reviewed that she was involved with, here, she got to evoke those warm and wholesome motherly vibes that I fell in love with back in the 80s and 90s during her sit-com run. I really enjoyed this break-out performance for Madalein Mills, who plays Jangle’s granddaughter. This is her first feature film role, having previously been a model for children’s clothing and a young Broadway star. She brought joy, wonder, curiosity, and heart to her character, lighting up the screen with her presence. Ms. Mills is certainly a talent to keep an eye on for the future. I wondered how the musical aspect was going to work into this movie. Sometimes the song and dance numbers can make a film feel choppy if it’s not done correctly. In this case, everything flowed so well. While the large group dances aren’t something you’d necessarily see happening in real life, they felt organic to the story or even brought in little pops of humor here and there. Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey was everything that a cinematic treatment of what could be a successful Broadway production should be. I would recommend this movie in a heartbeat for family holiday viewing, and I intend to watch it again with my daughter before this season is over.

This is Jingle Jangle the Christmas elf. He measures 17 inches/43cms standing or 10 inches/26cms sitting using Aran/Worsted Weight yarn. Or 15 inches/38cms standing or 9 inches/23cms sitting if worked in Double Knit yarn. As an option I have included in the making up guide a detailed direction on how to add poly pellet weights to his bottom to help him sit nicely on the shelf but you can stuff him with just polyester safety stuffing if you prefer. He is knitted flat on 2 needles and assembled. He has a simple seam joint to his hips and knees, which enables him to be very flexible and sit nicely. He’s a very sweet little elf who would love to become part of your family and join in with your Christmas celebrations every year or would be happy to be taken home by a little person to be loved unconditionally. I have included a very detailed making up guide with lots of photos, hints and tips which will help you create a perfect Jingle Jangle Elf.
The actor plays villain Gustafson.
Jingle Jangle Morning is the story of how folk and rock merged in the 1960s to create folk-rock, injecting social consciousness and poetic lyricism into popular music to scale heights that neither folk nor rock could have reached without blending. It draws on more than 100 first-hand interviews with key musicians, producers, promoters, and journalists, from stars like Roger McGuinn of the Byrds, Donovan, John Sebastian of the Lovin' Spoonful, and Judy Collins to behind-the-scenes producers and cult artists. Starting with the folk revival of the early 1960s, it covers the folk-rock movement from the first stars to electrify folk (especially the Byrds and Bob Dylan) to stars like Buffalo Springfield, Joni Mitchell, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, as well as underrated greats (like Richard & Mimi Fariña, Fred Neil, Tim Buckley, and Nick Drake to nearly unknown cult artists. Previously published in two separate volumes as Turn! Turn! Turn! and Eight Miles High, this combines those books into one, adding 15,000 words of updates and new material. It also adds a 75,000-word mini-book with in-depth descriptions of nearly 200 folk-rock recordings from the era, which together would comprise the ideal 1960s folk-rock box set. All branches of the decade’s folk-rock are covered, from early electric folk-rock, protest folk-rock, and folk-rock-psychedelia to singer-songwriters, country-rock, and the distinctively British form of folk-rock.
