Jingle the Dog – A Christmas Story is an animated film by Christopher Bishop and Erin Bishop. It follows Jingle through his challenging adventures during the holidays in trying to find his place. There were many obstacles that Jingle had to face but through the process, he never stopped spreading kindness and lending a helping hand. Jingle kept doing good for others even when people weren’t watching and was not getting anything in return.
This is a silent film with only music to accompany the animation. The music is original arrangements of holiday classics featuring a Marimba as the main instrument. Christopher Bishop also wrote and performed the music for this film. It does a good job in enhancing the emotions throughout the film and creating the holiday atmosphere.
I think this animated film is a good representation of doing good deeds even when no one is watching. Many people have experienced the loneliness and outcast that Jingle faced which makes it relatable. The wonderful original animation and music complimented each other in guiding the film forward. Although it was a silent film, I would recommend Jingle the Dog – A Christmas Story.
I would give this film 4.5/5 stars 🙂
