Jonathan Hyde played both Alan’s father and Russel Van Pelt so masterfully!
I hate to admit it but that's a subtlety I missed the first few times I saw the movie. I guess that's a tribute to how versatile he was in both rolls.
It reminds me of how both captain hook and Wendy's dad are always supposed to be played by the same actor in Peter Pan.
Very reminiscent of Peter Pan, Mr Darling and Captain Hook are played by the same actor.
He’s also in Richie Richie
@@frozengamer3030 and I think he's in The Mummy as well?
You're right, no adult actor could capture childhood innocence and enthusiasm like Robin Williams. That's why everytime I watch Jumanji or Hook I end up bawling my eyes out. Just goes to show you how easily someone can hide their pain. Rest in peace, Robin.
Did you see Jack? He plays the part of a little boy who is aging four times faster than his peers, it is beautiful, hilarious, and heart breaking.
@@alyshaharper8730 no I haven't been I'll definitely check it out.
Jack Black does that pretty well I think.
Not sure if you noticed but the actor who plays the hunter is the same actor who plays Alan's father. The game isn't fooling around with the psychological torment.
The game's clue indicates that it's his father, too, but most first-time viewers miss that.
It's a nod to Peter Pan's Captain Hook, with Hook having come out four years prior.
@@phillipjarvis5754 how is it a nod to Hook? Hook wasn't Jack's dad
@@mischr13 Robin Williams was Peter in that film. In general terms, Wendy's father and Captain Hook are often played by the same actor in Peter Pan.
Alan's father and the hunter are a nod to Peter Pan, and Robin Williams being in the film Hook makes it into an actor allusion.
I was connecting two separate facts into one sentence.
@@phillipjarvis5754 ahhh, I didn't know Wendy's father usually plays Hook. that's the context I was missing
Robin Williams absolutely brought his A game to this movie. If only the real life board game was this fun and exciting.
I miss him so much hope he’s in a better place ❤️ he took the soul of comedy with him
@@ChefNourhanRobin Williams always brings his A Game. One of the greatest privileges in my life was getting to work with him.
@@MrTbk1701 Omg you worked with Robin that’s fantastic wow!!! Can you tell us more 💞
@@ChefNourhan I can tell you I almost killed him. 🤪one of my good friends who was the AD on stand up comedy show up in Marin asked me to come on board as an PA. George Carlin’s daughter was the producer (I almost killed her too). It was a four day shoot and build. We had to turn the theater into a setup for a live tapped studio audience.
The first day I ran cars because we didn’t have parking permits. I busted my but making sure everything was done right. The second day when Cynthin (our AD)came in to give us notes she told me I was going to Robin Williams assistant.
My heart almost jumped out of chest but I played it cool.
He really was a gentle soul, and just a person like we all are.
PS. Just for so you know. I was driving all the comics to location Robin was behind me and George Carlin’s daughter was beside me. Then this woman decides to walk across the street when she can see a 15 passenger van coming at her. I hit the breaks and honked the horn and I knew I’d never stop in time so I swerved out of the way. Nobody was hurt and Robin reached out his hand and put it on my shoulder and asked me if I was alright.
well, is there a fun board game to begin with? Never had fun with them and for years thought it was a american movies thing no one did it or liked
I love how people have seen the more recent Jumanji films and go into this one having their expectations subverted.
One of my favorite Robin Williams movies is Bicentennial Man (1999). It is generally underrated and gets overshadowed by Mrs. Doubtfire, but it covers some deeper social and philosophical issues about technology, A.I., sentience, and "human" rights. If you haven't yet seen it, do yourself a favor. It's a longer movie, and uses that time to really develop the world of the movie to tell a multi-generational story. It's not a typical Robin Williams comedy, but rather a poignant Robin Williams "thinker" drama.
YES!! Bicentennial Man is an absolutely incredible story... love love love that movie :D @Thor Reacts I gaurantee you would also love this movie.. please watch it!
@@Canadian_Guy_82 I second that...like a lot.
I second that. Great movie, although I always spend half of it bawling my eyes out.
@@MidnightHowlingI third it, Bicentennial Man is tremendously underrated!
@@WanderingRoe My favorite movie, hands down.
Though, my eyes get sweaty a lot while watching it..
That final father and son scenes makes me cry every time. Born in 1990, but the further into adulthood I got, that scene is just profoundly touching.
Fellow 1990 baby here and I couldn't agree more. I watched this movie with my son for the first time recently, and sobbed during that part. He loved it. (the movie, not the me-crying part lol)
The 'remake' is actually just a sequel. The place where Nick jonas's character was staying was where Robin Williams lived in the jungle.
As Nick said "he built this place, I'm just living in it."
Did you notice that Van Pelt is the same acvor as Allan's dad? His Jumanji rhyme is "makes you feel like a child", and his catchphrase is "act like a man!" also like the dad. So basically he's a representation of Allan's fear of his dad inside the game.
Aladdin, Good Will Hunting, Dead Poet Society, Hook, they are all such classics, nobody can pick just one.
At the end of the day, it's Mrs. Doubtfire for me.
Good Morning Vietnam is my absolute favourite!
Good Will Hunting, Hook, Mrs. Doubtfire, Dead Poets Society, Jumanji, Good Morning Vietnam, were all good and it’s hard to pick just one. But for me, I think it comes down to Dead Poets Society… with Mrs. Doubtfire or Good Will Hunting next in line. He’s just so good… it’s a shame he left us so early.
The Clampetts had a yard sale. It's a reference to the family from the old Beverly Hillbillies show. I feel old now. 😅
I would HIGHLY recommend What Dreams May Come, Patch Adams and Good Morning Vietnam.
All Robin Williams Movies, all from the late 80s to 90s and every one of them show how damn talented Williams was a performer beyond the films you’ve mentioned and reacted to already
What Dreams May Come is a MASTERPIECE
@@lucianaromulus1408 but considering how Williams went out it always makes me depressed.
@anthonyschroeder8776 I understand that but he'll live on forever in these beautiful mediums.
The World According to Garp is one of my favourites.
definitely not the movie you'd go in expecting from the modern versions, which is why the modern ones had a bit of controversy for changing the formula so much ;) I'd definitely recommend watching Zathura after this!
This is just a childhood classic, it holds up well for the aged cgi too!
I'm a hardcore Jumanji fan. I LOVE the new films and think they did a great job tying them to the original. I love binge watching them starting from the original. The controversy came from kids too young to full understand the first film and haven't watched it in 20 years :) I just wish Robin was still around to take part in the new films.
@@mamasplayinhookie3131 I agree, the new films are good and a bit different (like they had to update the rest of the franchise in dealing with video games, and not board games etc.)
But what I felt was lacking in these films was the same emotional component that is present in this one
The whole arc with Alan and his father, the emotional points of Alan coming home and finding out not only that his family is gone, but how much his dad actually cared for him, and that losing Alan destroyed his parents
Judy and Peter’s loss of their parents
the whole van pelt being a psychical representation of Alan's issues with his father, and of his fear of his fathers shadow, which Alan must overcome.
These things were missing from the new films and so while I like them, I have to say the original is still the undefeated best.
@@mckenzie.latham91 It's an easy springboard for the game revamping itself based off comments in the first movie. Like the game thinks... maybe it's a microchip... If the game can brings crazy into the world it can totally turn into a cartridge :D
There were some emotional components to the new films. Like Seaplane's dad becoming the crazy recluse in the creepy house. Then there is Fridge and Spencer reclaiming their friendship as well as Martha getting good in herself. The Next level deals with inadequacy and mortality. You can't keep repeating the same scenarios.
You can't tell me you didn't tear up a bit when Milo stayed behind. And when aunt Nora showed up I was cheering. I just wish Robin was around to join in.
I also tear up every time he hugs his dad. So many conflicts could be forgiven if one person would just be vulnerable like that. How do you stay mad at someone who is tearfully apologizing to you? It brings what is really important into focus.
As you mentioned the visual style of the film, I think you will really love “What Dreams May Come” also with Robin Williams.
Watching this as a kid back in the 90s was a totally different experience from watching it again as an adult, its so good. Back them it was all about the fun and adventure and scary-but-cool moments; as an adult, I caught myself actually paying attention to the discussion between Allan and Sarah in the study, all the very realistic expressions of trauma the adults displayed, I was so impressed on how smart this movie actually is, it has a bit of everything in all the right doses like you mentioned. I think the only modern "kids movies that doesnt underestimate their audience" that I can think of are animated movies like Wolfwalkers and Del Toro's Pinocchio, both of them have the fun and adventure, but also high stakes and actual terror in it. Highly recommend them!
The newer Jumanji wasn't a remake. It was basically a sequel. They even mention the place where Alan Parrish lived while trapped in the jungle.
The town where this was filmed, Keene, NH, still has the “parish shoes” ad painted on the wall in town. (I lived there for a few years… super small town, so I didn’t even need a car… just rode my bike everywhere).
Highly recommend Williams' What Dreams May Come. Not a comedy and it shows that Robin nails any role he's in. So touching.
Let’s talk about how amazing his hair looks though! And the orange lighting makes it look awesome!
Yes that was Kirsten Dunst.
Van Pelt is actually a pretty straightforward character; he reminds me of The Most Dangerous Game (which was about a hunter who got bored with hunting, and escalated from prey to predator to human for a more challenging experience), and he only actively goes after Allen because Allen was the one who rolled the dice -- both the roll that took Allen into the Game of Jumanji, and the roll that brought Van Pelt to the real world.
Alan probably met him right after he was taken into Jumanji, the game took what he feared most at that moment - his own father (as it's the same actor) - and sent him after him. As also shown in the sequels, the game has the ability to adapt to its players for the most immersive experience …
For Robin Williams dramatic films - Goodwill Hunting, Dead Poets Society and The Fisher King are films you should not miss!
Also What Dreams May Come. Although it is more sad than dramatic.
Patch Adams. Tough watch though.
One Hour Photo
All good films but I have to recommend What Dreams May Come the most. One of the most beautiful films I've ever seen.
The kids' Aunt Nora was Nora who owned the restaurant in Jumanji: The Next Level.
Robin Williams and Jim Varney were two GOATS that will never be replicated
RIP, Robin Williams. He made this a fun experience from start to finish
It was already noted on your Patreon, but Welcome to the Jungle and The Next Level were sequels, not a remake. A lot of people think it was a reboot because of how much time lapsed between the films! 🙂 In Welcome to the Jungle when they went to Seaplane's "home" in the jungle, there was the placard "Alan Parrish was here." If you hadn't watched the original first, it is *easily* missed, because you wouldn't recognize the name.
I love board games. Computer games, tabletop RPGs, and board and card games. We have a game con every year in our small town, and while it has RPGs and wargaming, it primarily features board and card games. It's coming up this fall, and we're all very excited to go again this year!
Yes, this was Kristen Dunst !
Hard to pick a single favorite Robin Williams movie. My favorite trio would be Hook, Bicentennial Man (1999) and Mrs Doubtfire.
That said, and though I'm strongly hoping you'll do a reaction to Bicentennial Man, there are two of his movies, not often mentioned that have touched me kinda deep and that I'd like to suggest also. Those were Jack (1996) and Patch Adams (1998)
the Jumanji "remake" actually WAS the sequel, it started off with the game being the board we see in this one before it changes itself into a video game and they reference Robin Williams' character Alan Parrish in the treehouse in Jumanji, saying that it was someone else's home before and then showing his name carved into the wood, basically telling the viewers that that's where Alan lived for those 26 years that he was stuck in the game
Also my favorite Robin Williams movie.. I think I'd have to say Disney's Aladdin, because Genie is my favorite classic Disney character ever
Besides that, Jumanji and Flubber are definitely way up there for me, but I think my actual favorite life action movie of his is probably Bicentennial Man, it never fails to make me both laugh and cry
Except that made no sense,since time was reversed after they finished the game. AND it doesn't even make sense for the kids of the sequel to remember the adventure _since they went back in time to before they even FOUND the Game!!_
So glad you pointed out the Alan Parrish reference in the sequel. I wanted to comment on that myself, but you did an excellent job.
@@Nicamon Well, I mean if that bothers you you could always explain that kind of timeline/memory inconsistency away with the rules changing slightly due to it turning into a video game, which has memory and saves your progress in contrary to a board game which is always fully reset once you finish a round
@@MetaLatias5 I still see it as an inconsistency because we're still dealing with 2 different games in 1 movie,just like in the original:Alex's game and the kids' one. The reset went back to _Alex's_ game,it's not just the game of the kids that has been reset...you can't save the memories of a game you never got to play in the 1st place because you went back in time!!@.@ I don't know...I'm still inclined to believe it's simply a plot hole. Not _everything_ can be explained away...movies are written by humans and humans can make mistakes...as Dr. House once said:"The simplest explanation is almost always somebody screwed up."
@@Nicamon - Time reversed in the real world, not in Jumanji and Allan and Sarah remembered everything that happened as well, despite it not technically having happened after all.
Honestly, my favorite Robin Williams movie is the movie Jack. It's not as comedic as a lot of the wonderful ones that you listed (which I love so so much) but Jack just has a special place in my heart and I love it so much!
Honestly the Aunt, Cop (Bentley) and Van Pelt (same actor as the Dad) were the unsung heroes of this movie. The kids, Bonnie and especially Robin Williams get so much praise, but really the casting, writing, directing and acting was just so spot on for everyone. Not to mention all the FX for the movie.
man, your set up is beautiful
I honestly love this movie a lot, I actually have a Jumanji board that looks like the one from the movie and I always wished they did more with that cool looking Board Game style... Also seeing Robin Williams is always a pleasure, he was an amazing actor and seemingly a really cool guy
So glad you enjoyed this! Jumanji was a family staple growing up and, although some of the effects have aged, the film as a whole truly stands the test of time. If you are ever in the mood for a more dark and serious Robin Williams film, I highly recommend What Dreams May Come (1998)
I saw him in Insomnia (crime). It was weird to see him in that role.
If I had to pick a favorite Robin Williams movie it'd be "Bicentennial Man", though it's a close call among several. That one, though, lets him be a bit of everything as he progresses from robot to human. (Helps that it's one of my favorite of Asimov's Robot stories.)
Adam Savage posted a video about the amazing costume he wears at the beginning of the movie, along with a couple of great behind the scenes Williams stories - Savage worked on the film.
That said, "Insomnia" where he played a serial killer is impressive, as is "One Hour Photo" where he's not quite the villain, but is very creepy.
The mosquitoes and the giant yellow pod legitimately terrified me when I saw this as a child!
😳
One of my favorite Robin Williams movies as a kid was “Jack” I don’t think it was very popular, but I rented it from blockbuster all the time and I think you’d like it
The lighting in this video makes it look like you just descended from the heavens to watch this movie lmao. Great reaction as always
Yes, that was Kirstin Dunst. I would have to say Bicentennial Man is my favorite movie of his, followed closely by Patch Adams. Both are funny but full of drama at the same time and those are the sorts of movies were Robin Williams' star shines with the most brilliance. Still breaks my heart to this day that he was in so much pain that he couldn't find a way to live in this world longer.
Robin Williams was one of the most unique personalities in film business ever, a brand of his own. Thankfully I don't have to pick a favorite Williams role. I'd like to recommend One Hour Photo for a totally different Williams, if you haven't seen it yet.
And thank you for showering old movies with such praise. Having seen them all when they were current, I've always believed that filmmaking used to be completely different back then - I used to be a film fanatic, but since the mid-2000s there's been only a handful of movies I really liked, and I actually despise many of the newer ones -, but I've always chalked that up to my subjectivity. It's good to see someone else reach the same conclusion that how films used to be made was in fact pretty different back then.
One of Robins most chilling roles was in One Hour Photo.
7:47 Guano. Bat droppings
Correction: This movie was the original and all the others made afterwards are a continuation from this one. None of them were remakes. They even reference Alan Parrish in the first of the sequels as they bunker down in his old tree house in Jumanji for a bit of time.
the new Jumanji is sort of a sequel to this :D its a cool detail that the dad and the hunter are played by the same actor to show that Alan's big fear is of his father :) I highly recommend Bicentennial man for a different Robin Williams experience, its a hidden gem of a movie that will definitely have an effect on you :)
Yes that is Kirsten Dunst
In my opinion one of Robin Williams best performances. Great movie! The sequels with the rock are fun too.
I only watched the 1st sequel...after the plot holes it threw at me I refused to watch the 2nd!X-[
@@Nicamonyeah the first one will forever be king
The thing for me with this film compared to the "remakes" is it has so much heart! It addressed grief on such a grand scale for a silly childrens film without it being the main theme at all! I loved it as a kid and I love it as an adult even more. Incredible film!
They weren't remakes, though, they were sequels. The board game turns into the video game in Welcome to the Jungle, so that makes it a sequel to this one.
my favorite robin williams movie has to be dead poets society!!! it's such an underrated film and if you liked good will hunting you'll definitely like dead poets society!
How was _Dead Poets Society_ underrated? It was lauded by critics and was a box-office smash; among the Top 10 grossers of 1989. Also, it was nominated for 4 major Oscars: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Screenplay. It won the last one.
@@user-rh2io7gm1l i just mean that nowadays i don't see many people talking about it... a lot of people love robin williams and haven't seen it so 🤷🏻 i just know a lot of people that haven't even heard of it
The film received mixed reviews from critics, but was a box-office success, grossing $263 million worldwide on a budget of approximately $65 million. It was the tenth-highest-grossing film of 1995 .
The critics had no idea on this one.
This movie is so underrated. Love this
If we're counting animated movies then my favorite with Robin Williams is Ferngully. Anything he's in is automatically better for it however so it's very difficult to pick a favorite. I think live action wise we watched Hook and Jumanji the most.
As much as I enjoy the sequels, they don't come close to the original in my heart.
I hope you'll give What Dreams May Come a chance. A visually gorgeous film with a lot of what can only be described as "soul".
Also, I think the more you see, the less able you'll be to pick just one favorite. I have a list of top 5 that exist together as equals.
I saw this as a 7-year-old in the theater, and I LOVED this movie as a kid. I think it's the perfect level of intensity to be really thrilling to younger kids without being too much.
Not Thor reacting to the most nostalgic film of my childhood 😭❤️
Yaaaay so excited! Cant believe you havent seen this before but so glad i get to watch along with you 🥲 this is the first Robin Williams exposure I had (other than Flubber) and parts of this film have just stuck with me for life ❤
My favorite Robin Williams movie is a tie between Aladdin and Jack. Jack holds a special place in my heart because I use to watch it regularly whenever I spent the night at my childhood’s bffs house.
You know it’s been so hard for me to watch films with Robin Williams since he’s passed, but your reactions for Jumanji, which was one of my favorite films growing up and Mrs. Doubtfire! It’s just filled me with such joy.
Although not comedies, I highly recommend What Dreams May Come and Bicentennial Man.
Both are real tear jerkers, but they are both beautiful films of Robin and definitely worth the watch.
I'm always so happy to see someone experience this movie for the first time. It was a favorite film of mine when I was a little kid. And I love how you picked up on so many elements that make this film great like the suspenseful/fantastic tone, the deeper themes, the enjoyable characters, and the smart reveals/direction of the movie.
Based on a true set of events, you should watch Awakenings with Robin Williams and Robert De Niro. It's not a comedy, but still a really good film. I'm glad you enjoyed this movie, easily one of Robin's best. He's had so many good roles.
That really is an incredible movie! I just saw it kinda randomly, having no idea what to expect and ended up completely enthralled. Same with Lorenzo's Oil. Both movies based on true events in which someone tries to cure a terrible condition. Haven't watched Lorenzo's Oil since I first saw it as a kid though and I'm 34 now, so that's probably very different from what I remember.
Love this one. I was in 5th grade when this came out and I still think it holds up. Especially compared to the newer incarnations. Robin, Kirsten, Bonnie, Bebe, David, and Jonathan were all excellent in this film.
WOAH!! Nice hair cut, Thor. I'm gonna miss the long hair, but I get it. It's hot in California right now, and long hair makes it more hotter.
I always saw Van Pelt as an embodiment of the worst traits of the dad. Adds a layer of depth to the whole thing. This has been a favorite since I was a kid.
Jumanji the original is in my top five favorite movies. The effects aren’t super incredible but the story is fun, powerful, and amazingly acted.
For other Robin Williams films, I would recommend three that show his incredible range.
1. Good Morning Vietnam - a hilarious ad lib festival with a heart.
2. Dead Poets Society - dramatic film about a teacher's impact on his students.
3. Awakenings - drama with Robin Williams and Robert De Niro playing totally opposite their usual roles.
One of my absolute favorite Robin Williams movies!!! 🥲🥰
I always thought Kirsten's character lies a grand story about her parents deaths because they died in such a "common" way that her lies were a way to inject some more meaning or purpose to it. And coping. But I'm glad the ending changes that. This movie is so easy to rewatch.
Jumanji is Robin Williams' best film.
Welcome to the Jungle wasn’t a remake. It was the direct sequel to this. If you remember, the father at the beginning brought the board game to his son, but his son wasn’t interested, because he’s into video games. The board game sensed this and transformed into a video game cartridge. Also, one of the scenes after meeting Nick Jonas’ character, they end up at a campsite, and it is revealed that it was the same campsite where Alan lived for the 26 years he was trapped in Jumanji.
My personal favorite Robin Williams film is Good Morning Vietnam. I’m not sure, but I think he was nominated for his role in that.
And yes, Kirsten Dunst played Judy.
11:18
That lion is one of the best effects of the movie (both the animatronic and the CGI)!
😎
Bicentennial man
❤so good robin
Does anyone play with boardgames anymore? Hell yes. There are some AWESOME board games out there. We do board games a lot. Carl and Aunt Nora are a great comedy duo in this movie. They really did perfect casting.
What Dreams May Come, Patch Adams and Bicentennial Man are Robin Williams must watch’s.
I have yet to see a reactor do “the full Monty”, which is so good, it’s one of the few comedies from the 90s that was nominated for best picture. Really heartfelt too.
17:16 I think when he asks, “What happened to you? Did the Clampetts have a yard sale?”, he’s referencing the Clampett family from the old tv show, Beverly Hillbillies.
Yes, that was Kirsten Dunst
And the "remakes" are technically sequels, at one point in jumanji they go to a tree house type thing and it has carved into the wall "Alan parish lives here" not sure if u have seen the second reboot one but there is also a connection to this movie at the end of that. Patch adams is one of my favourite robin Williams movies but they are all sooo amazing it's hard to pick.
The sad thing for me is, that a couple of Robin Williams movie overshadow most of his other beautiful work. Bicentennial Man, One Hour Photo, the Final Cut, Awakenings, Flubber. He has made so many different fantastic movies. They're all worth watching, as each movie is a masterpiece in its own right. Robin Williams was simply unique. I miss him so much.
Such a classic 💜 I love this movie. Watched it all the time when i was a kid. Had a replica board game too
HANDS DOWN. My favorite Robin Williams is the HIGHLY underrated What Dreams May Come. It is gorgeous; visually, emotionally, thematically... It's just a stunning movie all the way around. Cast includes Cuba Gooding Jr amd Anabella Sciorra, as RW's wife.
Also, Good Morning Vietnam was a childhood favorite that went way over my head, then, but I continue to love it, now, for its ability to make you laugh until you cry and then rip your heart out, in the span of a few lines. His amazing ability to adlib shines in all his radio broadcasts in this film.
The remake is a sequel. And apparently zathura is by the same author as a type of sequel but also unrelated to story line. Aunt Nora in this movie is in the new one and is herself to help prove its a sequel. She runs the diner at the end called noras.
The modern ones are sequels. The game is found on a beach (likely near a river delta), and Alan's hut in the jungle is shown. The Next Level is even a clearer sequel with references to this movie that go beyond Easter Eggs.
Such a good movie, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I seem to recall the Jumanji cartoon series was strong as well. That was actually set inside the game, if I remember right. I'd recommend Bicentennial Man. It's not a comedy, but it's still a solid Robin Williams movie.
About who hears the drums. It's not just kids that can hear them and I only noticed it after watching the movie several times:
"Jumanji: a game for those who seek to find a way to leave their world behind."
That's what all the kids wanted for different reasons. Allen wanted to go away, Sarah wanted to be there for him, Judy and Peter because they lost their parents. They might not have realized it, but they wanted to leave their world behind. That's exactly what the game gave them and also taught them that maybe their world isn't so bad.
BTW, the game hinders and helps with progressing through the game. It hinders with things like the pelican stealing the game, but also helps by hindering the cop from interfering. It's supposed to be a challenge, but not an impossible one.
Jumanji can change reality and turn back time. I doubt that there is a way to 'take care' of it. None without magic.
But this movie is the reason I won't watch the new ones. When I heard about a new Jumanji movie, I hoped for the same like in this movie, but bigger. I mean just the thought of a big city slowly being taken over by the jungle? That would have been epic. Not the fault of the new movies or anyone involved in them, but I was so disappointed, I just can't watch them.
Right so that explains why they can't just speed roll through it, the game's like: 'No, you're gonna do this the way I say you will.'
idk i like this movie and the new ones :) i didn't need the same movie again i feel too many people would have complained cause there is no robin williams
and they would have wanted him back for that type
the final level movie might be the game coming out if the end of next level is how they go about it.
but i am glad the first 2 were different
@@rebajoe You can try. Have fun dealing with a monsoon, earthquake and a stampede very close after each other. Or any other combination like running from the lion when the monkeys get into the way.
Personally I'd rather take one after the other, maybe with a few minutes in between to catch my breath. You could also get some survival tools before the next round to be a little prepared.
Robin Williams restrained his usual manic self while filming during the day with the children on set. He would compensate by going to a comedy club during the night and doing improv for three straight hours to let it all out.
What Dreams May Come (1998) its my favorite Robin Williams movies
This movie exemplifies why before 2000 when we made kids movies that were built to scare us and teach us a lesson. Live action, beautifully shot, and amazing acting. I hate the remakes because this movie actually means something
"What happened to you the Clampets have a yard sale?" The Beverly Hillbillies. That's the reference.
Great movie
Have you seen Flubber? I grew up with that Robin Williams film, as well as this one!
Robin was never a let down,can't believe you've never seen this haha,can't remember if you've watched him in What Dreams May Come,a really good role which shows his acting range
I don't know if you noticed, but the actor who interpreted Van Pelt is the same of Alan's father, and he continues telling Alan to "man up"; moreover, in the moment Alan confronts him, showing he has, in fact, become a man, he wins the game.
There's an unspoken sequel called "Zathura" a very underrated film.
Oh, my gawd! You cut your hair!
But also, very glad you enjoyed this classic of a movie. It scared me as a kid but ad I got older I really loved seeing Robin Williams in a more serious role before checking out some of his dramatic stuff. I miss this man so much as he brought such joy to others but at least what he left behind can still do that.
RIP Robin, imitated but never duplicated
Your hair looks GREAT!
This was a great video, good work on summing up at the end, i was very impressed and i think you did this classic justice in your review, my favorite Jumanji and maybe favorite family film
Yep, it is Kirsten Dunst.
I think this would make a great double feature with Hook.Both are adventurous, touching, relationship with father, etc.
When this was released my whole class went to the cinema to watch this...damn I'm old 😂 but still love that movie. The newer ones are good but this one is just magical for me (probably nostalgia 😅)
Another video pointed out that while we see what's going on with the stampede/lion/spiders/monkeys/plants and Van Pelt, the mosquitoes have been behind the scenes discreetly making short work of everyone not long after they escape through the attic window and have racked up a body count of cases in bites by the time we see one of them again within half an hour, imagine the rest of the day, there's even a radio news report about people in the hospital due to fevers and seizures brought on by the mosquitoes when Aunt Nora's driving home. The monster plants and the mosquitoes, they made the most out of it.
