FIRST TIME SCREENING THEATRICALLY IN ROCHESTER
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.
In the gloriously-vibrant town of Cobbleton, legendary toymaker Jeronicus Jangle’s (Forest Whitaker) fanciful inventions burst with whimsy and wonder. But when his trusted apprentice (Keegan-Michael Key) steals his most prized creation, it’s up to his equally-bright and inventive granddaughter (Madalen Mills) — and a long-forgotten invention — to heal old wounds and reawaken the magic within.
Award-nominated for its costume designs, hairstyling, and visual effects, this original holiday musical features an all-star cast led by Forest Whitaker and Keegan-Michael Key. With “Dickensian steampunk” eye-popping production design (“watch it on the biggest screen possible because every frame is bursting with delightfully enticing details” — Nell Minow, RogerEbert.com) and original songs by John Legend, Philip Lawrence, Davy Nathan, and Michael Diskint, come kick off (or continue!) your holiday movie watching with the Black Cinema Series at The Little!
