How Production Designer Gavin Bocquet Created the Magical, Musical World of Jingle Jangle

Playbill: Turning a two decade old concept of a musical fantasy into a reality is a tall order, but production designer Gavin Bocquet was up for the challenge. Inspired by films such as Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, director and writer David E. Talbert sought to create a new holiday classic, one made to help ignite the imaginations of a new generation the same way his had been as a kid. The result was Jingle Jangle, Netflix’s acclaimed Christmas movie that is both classic in sentiment and modern in nature, existing in a world of its own.
