Jumanji
JumanjiQuote: Jumanji is a 1995 American fantasy-comedy film about a supernatural board game that makes wild animals and other jungle hazards materialize upon each player's move. It was directed by Joe Johnston and is based on Chris Van Allsburg's popular 1981 picture book of the same name. Industrial Light & Magic provided computer graphics and animatronics for the special effects.
The film stars Robin Williams as Alan, a man who emerges from the game's unseen jungle world, along with Kirsten Dunst as a girl who plays the game with her brother, David Alan Grier as a hapless shoemaker-turned-police officer, Adam Hann-Byrd as Alan when he was a boy, Bonnie Hunt as the woman who played the game with Alan when they were children, and Jonathan Hyde as both Alan's father and a hunter intent on killing Alan. The cast also features Bradley Pierce as the girl's brother and Bebe Neuwirth as her aunt.
The film is dedicated to the memory of Stephen L. Price, an ILM visual effects supervisor who was involved with it. It was shot in Keene, New Hampshire, where the story is set, North Berwick, Maine (the Parrish Shoes factory) and Vancouver, British Columbia.

A fantastic adventure movie. Kirsten Dunst is a pretty bad child actress, but still fun to watch lol. But WHY was the Hunter played by the same actor as Alan's dad.

Re: Jumanji
Silly and fun. The VHS tape got quite the workout in my childhood.

A childhood favorite that still has rewatch value to this day.

Re: Jumanji
I am still surprised how this movie has a rotten score at RT. It has great pacing and amazing visuals (for its time). Some of the visuals haven't aged well but its the most adventurous of the three movies in this franchise. Being in the real world easily increases the stakes more here. I do think from a fun and adventure factor Welcome to the Jungle does a better job but the original is easily the better movie from The Next Level.
