“I love a bit of magic for Christmas. I love the kind of movies that let me be a child again, especially at Christmas time. This movie promised exactly this. And looking at the visual effects, costumes and scenery it definitely does its u0026quot;magicu0026quot;. However throughout the story there were too many similarities to Mr. Magoriumu0026#39;s Wonder Emporium, Nutcracker, Wall-E and many others. I couldnu0026#39;t help but experiencing constantly déjà vue like moments. Also from time to time I cringed a bit hearing things like u0026quot;square root of possibleu0026quot; though Iu0026#39;m afraid this might just be due to the fact that for some movies I probably REALLY am too much of an adult, no matter how hard I try to find my infantile enthusiasm again.nIn the end Jingle Jangle was easy to watch but it wonu0026#39;t be added to my list of traditional X-Mas movies-must. I think if you have kids, they will like this movie and your christmas spirit might be enlightened by their ability to enjoy it as what it is: A sweet xmas flick – nothing more nothing less.”
