	Media	Author	Review
		Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] should prove very popular this holiday season, especially considering a potentially bleak winter when people will probably need a feel-good experience more than ever."
		Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"An ambitious original musical packed to the gills with visual delights, it’s the kind of Christmas movie that can charm adults into looking past its flaws while turning delighted children"
		Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times	"It’s a lot of story but Talbert keeps things moving swiftly, clearly and most entertainingly as he punctuates the action with a host of terrific musical numbers"
		Cath Clarke The Guardian	"Pure infectious energy (...) It’s a film that may be a bit sugary for some tastes, but it’s made with real care and craft (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Gabriella Geisinger Digital Spy	"What makes 'Jingle Jangle' magical is that it doesn't try to explain itself: you simply have to accept that magic, imagination and maths are intertwined (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Kate Erbland IndieWire	"Netflix gifts the world an overstuffed and delightful Christmas classic (...) a joyous musical about the power of invention."
