*** Disclaimer: Slight spoiler alert. This is not an official review, but just my personal opinion of how I experienced the movie and what I took from it.***
Hey everyone, I know 2020 has been a CRAZY year and the events personally, collectively and globally have been catastrophically challenging in various ways. I also empathise with those who may have had a very different Christmas this year, whether it be due to loss, separation from relatives, loneliness, toxic family members or it being a generally triggering time for other reasons. Having said that, one of the things that bring me joy is Christmas music (especially from Destiny’s Child, Pentatonix, Ledisi and Brian McKnight to name a few). Another thing that brings me joy during this time is good Christmas movies, which brings me onto the main subject of this blog post! So, I just finished watching Jingle Jangle for the first time (yes, I know I’m late) – and wow. What an amazing journey indeed! This was the family Christmas movie we all needed after such a long, extremely challenging year; a magical movie filled with soul, fantasy and hope in equal measures. In fact, it was the musical adventure that I know the Black community in particular enjoyed and loved!
