"One of my favorite lines in the film is, 'Never be afraid when people don't see what you see. Only be afraid if you no longer see,' director and writer David E Talbert told The Christian Post in an earlier interview. "That line resonates really well for me because one of my favorite scriptures is Hebrews 11:1, 'Faith is the substance of things hoped for but the evidence of things not seen.'”
The playwright, author and filmmaker said the world was framed by the Word of God, so the “things that appear were made from things that didn't appear,” he added. That theme is weaved throughout the movie.
The Christmas-themed musical is “set in the gloriously vibrant town of Cobbleton. The film follows legendary toymaker Jeronicus Jangle (Forest Whitaker) whose 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” the film's synopsis says.
