Netflix has released the official trailer for Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey, a magical new Christmas movie from writer / director David E. Talbert (First Sunday, Baggage Claim, Almost Christmas). Set in the city of "Cobbleton", 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. Keegan-Michael Key co-stars as the toymaker's apprentice who steals his most prized creation. And it's up to Journey, played by newcomer Madalen Mills, to save the whole town. Featuring original songs by John Legend, Philip Lawrence, Davy Nathan, and "This Day" performed by Usher and Kiana Ledé, Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey reminds us of the strength of family and the power of possibility. The full cast includes Forest Whitaker, Sharon Rose, Phylicia Rashad, Anika Noni Rose, Ricky Martin, Kieron Dyer, Justin Cornwell, Lisa Davina Phillip, and Hugh Bonneville. A steampunk Christmas musical featuring a robot!? Count me in.

Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey is both written and directed by American producer / filmmaker David E. Talbert, director of the movies A Woman Like That, First Sunday, Baggage Claim, Almost Christmas, and El Camino Christmas previously, as well as lots of other projects.
