- JUMANJI 1995 MOVIE REACTION! Today I'll be watching a film I have never seen before Jumanji released in 1995 for the first time. Here's my Robin Williams Jumanji reaction. Want to watch the ENTIRE Movie with me? Check out: / timotheereacts
A magical board game unleashes a world of adventure on siblings Peter (Bradley Pierce) and Judy Shepherd (Kirsten Dunst). While exploring an old mansion, the youngsters find a curious, jungle-themed game called Jumanji in the attic. When they start playing, they free Alan Parrish (Robin Williams), who's been stuck in the game's inner world for decades. If they win Jumanji, the kids can free Alan for good -- but that means braving giant bugs, ill-mannered monkeys and even stampeding rhinos!

Hopefully, for Mcu's What If 3 episodes.
You should do The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008)! I saw that movie in the theaters opening weekend when I was a kid. Pretty solid adaptation from what I remember even if it was just another Harry Potter-wannabe. Disney+ is doing a TV series of it soon but from what I remember, the books were pretty short (about 150 pages total for each one) and the movie did well at fitting all five of the books’ stories into an hour and a half movie.
There’s also Zathura, both it and Jumanji are based on books made by the same person in a shared shared universe sense.
@@ghostspider2056 Zathura was a stand-alone sequel.
Too much talking....can u please shut UP 😞
Rip Robin Williams
I can’t believe it’s been nearly 10 years since he died…
He'll never be forgotten... He was an amazing actor and seemingly a very good guy in general
He’s the same guy who voice Genie from Disney’s Aladdin
@@ultimatealdo1922Not to mention he also voiced Fender from Robots
Ikr? I teared up when the new movie made a reference to Alan Parrish.
I like the Peter Pan motif they did with Jonathan Hyde doing a dual role as Alan’s father Sam and being the villainous hunter Van Pelt. It’s basically how the Darling children saw their father before heading off to Neverland and taking on Captain Hook.
Ever seen Hook, the Robin Williams/Dustin Hoffman movie? With that in mind, the dual role of Sam Parish/Van Pelt taking a leaf from Peter Pan's book seems exceptionally meta and cool... 😊
@@brandiarmstrong2902 Yup. Though I didn’t understand Hook back then as I was still a little kid in the 90s. It made perfect sense when I saw it again as a young teen.
@@twist58 I understand. I was born in '93, so I understood it only to a point at the time. I did, however, get how Jack felt about his dad, like he didn't care or love him like his sister. It's a complicated feeling, but I felt the same way about my mom. But, I was her only child, so I just wondered if she loved *anyone,* since it was just her and me in the house, and she and I never really got along. She's wanted me to run away since I was 13, and recently told me to go for it when I told her I was feeling suicidal. It was pure stubbornness that kept me breathing. After that, I gave up on asking her for help. Sought help on my own, and nevermind the consequences. The last time I tried to ask for help outside my home, I got in trouble with mom because protective services was called. It's what kept me from seeking outside help for over 2 years after that, but I couldn't count on her to help me overcome my depression. And BTW, mom isn't clever like Peter, using reverse psychology. She thinks she's clever, but she's often crueller than she cares to admit.
Surprisingly, Alan getting transported into the board game was not a bad cgi effect for 1996.
1995, when cgi was actually good.
Still scares the hell out of me when I watch this!
Yeah that scene traumatized me 😅
Two things I want to say: 1. If you liked this movie I'd highly recommend watching Zathura. It's a movie very similar to this one that, in my opinion, is even better. 2. Notice how the hunter not only speaks in his father's voice, but also speaks about being a man. A lot like his own father.
👏 I was also gonna mention Zathura! so great to see I'm not the only one who remembers and loves it ^_^
That’s such a good movie!!
1) Van Pelt (the hunter) and Adam's father were both played by Johnathan Hyde.
2) They're both played by the same actor because Adam's afraid of becoming a man like his father as much as he's afraid of a man hunting him with a loaded gun.
Wasn't zathura and Jumanji based off books written by the same author?
@@cthulhuspawn6290 yes - for those who don't know, in the books Judy and Peter are neighbors with Walter and Danny, who discover the Jumanji board game after them and find the Zathura one hidden beneath it
but the film adaptations for some reason share no connections with each other
Kirsten Dunst was the youngest Oscar nominee for her role in _Interview With a Vampire_
I like how Jonathan Hyde plays Van Pelt as well, showing that Alan's biggest fear was his father.
His biggest fear is becoming a man like his father as much as he's afraid of a man hunting him with a loaded gun.
I have a different relationship with this character, me and him share names, so to have my name repeated in a movie as the villian, was quite the experience for the first watch
Sort of a Silent Hill thing
I don't think she was nominated for an Oscar for that performance but I believe she was nominated for the Golden Globe, was that were you were thinking of?
Kirsten Dunst wasn't nominated for interview with a vampire... get your facts right
Fun fact: Bradley Pierce who played Peter was actually the voice of Chip from 1991’s Beauty and the Beast.
Also Tails in The adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog Cartoon.
Always nice reading fun facts I’ve not heard before!
Even with all the sequels, this one is simply the best in the franchise. It has the most heart.
I agree. The first one brings some Oscar vibes and the second one is all action-packed.
Back in 2020 my family and I all yelled Jumanji at the top of our lungs at midnight on New Years Eve just to make sure that 2020 would actually END. You can never be too careful with such things!
The reason the firearm salesman asked if he was a postal worker is a reference to the term “going postal.” It sprouts from the tales about postal workers being so bored of their jobs that they go crazy (and in some story’s go on a killing rampage).
This scene is an enduring film classic from our childhood. It has from action, humor, drama and mistery. Also i want to share some curious facts.
° As you know, the film is an adaptation from a childrens book written by Chris Van Allsburg, the man who wrote "Zathura" and "The Polar Express".
° The director is Joe Johnston, who is well known for his works in "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids", "The Rocketeer", "The Pagemaster", "Jurassic Park 3", "Hidalgo", "The Wolfman" and "Captain America: The First Avenger". Also, he won an Oscar for creating the visual effects of "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark"
° Right before Robin Williams took the role of Alan Parrish, some actors who were considered to portray the character were Tom Hanks, Dan Aykroyd, Bruce Willis, Michael Keaton, Kevin Kline, Chevy Chase, Sean Penn, Kevin Costner, Richard Dreyfuss, Michael Douglas, Rupert Everett, Harrison Ford, Sean Connery, Bill Paxton, Bryan Cranston, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mel Gibson and Alec Baldwin.
It’s hilarious to me how many reactors have watched this movie and said “just keep rolling super fast”. Like, would YOU want to deal with all of these crazy things happen simultaneously? Especially if you had super bad luck and kept rolling really low, so there was a ton of events.
My guess is you need to wait for the game to react. Like how the words appear slowly and you need to wait for your little game piece to move. I’m guessing speed rolling wouldn’t exactly work but that’s just me
Plus you can, kind of, see how the game doesn't want you to speed run it (carnivorous plants, then a stampede going right for you, animals and characters stealing the game, a monsoon that floods the room in seconds, a quake that opens the ground, sucking players into the game... the magic in the boardgame doesn't want the current gaming to be over that quick).
Some context: In the 90's there was a couple of disgruntled employees who shot up their respective post offices. I believe there were 2 or 3 mass shooting events involving them. Hence the joke, "You are not a postal worker, are you?"
This movie was hilarious, good choice, Tim. All the scenes with the monkeys, the lion, Parrish opening the closet door after dealing with the lion & seeing the kids & them screaming & him screaming back before closing the door, the Hunter, especially when he got scanned by the item scanner in the store & his hilarious scream when he was on the air powered canoes & when the paint cans & shelves fell on him, just a riot
You just said what happened
The scary drumbeat music that comes from the board game itself would probably give any one horrible nightmares. And also being trapped inside of a cursed board game for 26 years is very scary.
Some people dabble in the occult, Timothée dabbles in dark humour. The ‘Perish’ wordplay was well done!
I love this film. Yes, the effects are dated, but they still managed to pull off some crazy visuals while also keeping you engaged in the story. The theme will become clearer as you go on, but the game calls to troubled people, usually kids. It's like some crazy, extreme, and violent therapy.
Before the sequels there was this gem of a movie rip Robin Williams 🙏🏾
The sequels were cool, but Robin Williams' version will always have a special place in my heart.
They did such a good job with the riddles because each one was more terrifying than the other.
The Special Effects are actually really good! It balances campy yet it’s never too ridiculous.
Ok so comparing the old and new jumanji is not something I do to take away from either film. Both are entertaining for different reasons, while the old one has somewhat dated effects for sure the atmosphere and genuinely creepy and tense scenes that keep you on the edge of ur seat. The newer ones are sillier but it’s still manages to be a fun time.
This was my childhood, I was a young kid round 5 years at watched it at daycare and was enthralled with what I saw being introduced to Robin Williams. This was my favorite movie as a little kid
To me, the passing of Robin Williams was like losing a beloved uncle you knew from childhood. Always had fun whenever he would visit and then hearing what happened to him. All that’s left are memories. Respect.
Jumanji was based on the 1981 book by Chris Van Allsburng & Robin (R.I.P.) told fans Jumanji was an island in the Caribbean as a prank, but it is actually a Zulu word meaning “many effects”
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.
And that's why the game and it's creatures hinder the advancement, like with the pelican, but at the same time protects the players from interference, like Carl getting distracted all the time, even to the plant easting his car.
The players remember everything. The game just removes the consequences. All of them. And considering that the game can change reality, rewind time and has it's own dimension with a jungle in it I doubt the game can be destroyed. At least not with mundane means.
With the new movies I have a very personal peeve which is not their fault. When I heard they were making a new Jumanji movie my imagination went wild. Have them play the game in a big city and see it slowly overtaken by the jungle as they play one. With today's possibilities it would have been epic. Compared to that the movie was obviously a let down for me. I understand the possible reasons why they did it like they did, but for me the damage was done.
Good catch!
Yeah but the new one was in modern times, so instead of a board game they used a video game, which makes sense if you want a modern twist
honestly I would love an R-rated Jumanji movie it would be pretty cool especially for the OG fans who are now all grown ups :D
I saw this in the hospital after scoliosis surgery. I was getting morphine through an IV drip and I was in pain, dopey and extra jumpy. Whenever a big action scene would happen, I’d completely tense up, jump and it would make the pain even worse. I think I’ve only seen this movie once, and while from what I remember it was a good 90s PG Robin Williams movie, because of the pain it caused me and the fact that I’ve had terrible chronic pain for the last 15 years, this is probably the only way I’ll be able to watch it again, so thank you. I can now watch it while sitting in a chair. And I’m on Tylenol and CBD, so at least it’s not morphine drip.😂
One of my favorite childhood movies; along with The Goonies the movie filled my heart with a hankering for adventure and exploration, so I hope you had an excellent time seeing it for the first time ever!
Don’t forget Zathura, both it and Jumanji are based on books made by the same person in a shared shared universe sense.
This movie was my childhood. Starring the great Robin Williams. RIP.
This is my childhood right here, Tim. The 90s was quite a fun decade, especially for the late, great Robin Williams. His many roles in that decade were a real standout. Aladdin, Ferngully, Jumanji, Mrs. Doubtfire. All films I grew up watching him star in of that era.
Anyway, this is the TRUE Jumanji of 1995 long before Dwayne Johnson came in!
And… Kirsten Dunst’s debut film was _Interview with a Vampire_
But of course, the music of the great James Horner is easily recognizable given all his composing throughout the 80s and 90s. He’s even reunited with director Joe Johnston here since _Honey, I Shrunk the Kids_
Sarah Whittle was the MVP of this movie. Underrated comic timing.
She played off the other characters really well, even when she and Allan were kids. Not always easy to be that convincing as an actor, especially when you're so young.
6:38 Just a note that if Alan is facing intense bullying at public school, he’s not ready for Boarding School because it’s equally if not more harrowing.
It is torture, yes.
Unlike some people I theorize that Judy and Peter remember on some level. The way they look at Sarah and Alan just has a hint of recollection. Not sure if it would be a subconscious memory, or they woke to a new reality with their parents. Because they too were bound by the magic of Jumanji. That's my theory anyway.
Their parents are still alive so they probably won't remember it now, it's still not 26 years yet in this timeline. Judy and Peter met Alan and Sarah in the 26 years Jumanji timeline when their parents had already died. I think they'll eventually remember it within a year or two when they reach the exact time period in which they played the game.
@@tbakhalid4781 Yeah my head canon was that it was the same time and the kids had already prevented their parents from getting killed. We may never know for sure!
Going off the new movies' logic, they would remember and be chucked back out when they entered as just as Alan and Sarah were chucked out in 1969, Alex was chucked out in 1996 and the other four in 2016, so Judy and Peter would have been chucked out in 1996. Not sure I'm exact on the dating though.
@@henrynicot5325 that's exactly what I feel. 1996 is the same year Judy and Peter will remember the events or think deeply into they might already know it by now.
Another classic adventure that you've reacted to, awesome! This film had heart which the other new ones did not, plus Robin Williams, young Kirsten Dunst, a James Horner score and that pure 90's wholesomeness. Robin elevates any film that he does, I love his chemistry with Bonnie Hunt who also has great comedic timing. I always get emotional at the end when young Alan reunites with his dad. Alan and Sarah deserved the second chance that they got after their lives were ruined by the game, the timeline was fixed in the end.
If you haven't yet, react to another classic 90's film Casper with Christina Ricci.
Awww yes Casper is real cute!
Fun fact you know the actor who plays Van Pelt the hunter is the same actor who plays Allen’s dad
I love Jumanji and I always loved the animal moments in the film. I also really miss Robin Williams as he is one of the best actors to have ever lived!
Loved the reaction Timothee!
I know that you will watch the 2 modern ones after this one (I also see that Welcome the Jungle is coming soon).
But!
There is another movie that is forgotten by most people: Zathura: A Space Adventure (2005).
It's not really a sequel, but it might as well be.
Where the 2 modern ones have a modern twist for both younger people and the people that grew with the original Jumanji, Zathura takes the same concept but changes the theme, being space instead of jungle and Africa.
Just know that it exists, do what you want with this information.
But I'm sure many people (myself included) would like to see you watch it.
Pretty sure both Jumanji and Zathura were wrote by the same author :v
That was a really fun one, but I found that the older brother, Walter, was a bit of an ass. No, he was a straight-up jerk to his brother. I wanted to slap him quite a few times. But I guess I feel more strongly about it because I grew up in a single-parent home, always wondering if it's my fault my dad never came back. I wanted to dropkick Walter for yelling at Danny that their parents' divorce was his fault.
I know you're mad at Danny right now, Walter, but that was beyond cruelly uncalled for. You're worse than the Zorgons in that moment, because Zorgons will kill and eat you, ending your suffering. You've wilfully inflicted deep, scarring wounds, and forced your brother to carry on even still. The fact that he forgave you at all is more admirable than you deserve.
after the game, when the kids come with their parents to alan and his wife, the kids have memories. thats why they smiled so big, after meeting mr. and mrs. perrish (again)
A lot to say, first going back to the first scene with the kids burying the game and not being afraid of a pack of wolves, now you know why, regular animals are nothing compared to whatever comes out of Jumanji.
Jumping to the end when you joked about them giving the kids Jumanji as a present, there's actually a deleted scene where we see their presents which turn out to be a new line of sneakers called Jumanji.
I'm sure you have been told, but there's a child's picture book which is the inspiration for the movie and the true sequel is also based on the next book, Zathura.
Last, in the 80's and 90's there was a trend of turning movies into cartoons, you probably know about Ghostbusters, but there was also Rambo, Conan, The Karate Kid, three Jim Carrey movies, and Jumanji, but to make it a series a few things were changed most notably the absence of the character of Sara and even how the game is played, when you roll you get a riddle and then sucked into Jumanji where you stay until you solve the riddle, the main plot of the series is that Alan didn't know about the riddle so he's trapped, Judy and Peter risk their lives again and again trying to save Alan, we see them grow closer and we also see and learn a lot more about Jumanji.
Before Kirsten Dunst was cast, Scarlett Johansson originally auditioned for the role of Judy Shepherd.
The kids show no sign of recognition but it makes sense for them to not remember “yet”. Timeline wise with the reveal that the parents have yet to take their trip it’s apparent time hasn’t caught up to when they played the game in the original timeline. It’s possible their memories would return after that point.
This movie is instant nostalgia for me.
Robin Williams was one of the men I looked up to.
No intense violence.
Just a silly man, making the best. He never failed to make me laugh.
I loved this movie growing up. Its one of the movies I go back to when feeling nostalgic. I agree that the effects and cgi didn't age well but in a way I think it makes it even more fun watching it nowadays.
I still think its really cool that they used puppets for the lion, crocodile, and spiders. It kinda reminds me of the jungle ride at Disney's Animal Kingdom in FL. Plus, it just goes to show how much dedication and skill it took to make everything. And yeah, even back in '95 the cgi for the monkeys was a little subpar but I think it makes the crazy stuff they did (like stealing the cop motorcycle) even funnier.
Sure the cgi is of course dated for today but I still think it looks good for what it is!
In a way I think the uncannieness of some of the effects on the animals helps you feel like the world of Jumanjii is strange and out of this world, like these animals went on a slightly evolutionary path or something.
This is one of the first movies I remember watching many times in my room as a small child. It was only a year or two after it came out. Still one of my favorite movies ever. 💕
This is the movie that introduced me to Robin Williams and fall in love with his comedy when I was a child. Nowadays, knowing what happened a decade ago, this movie makes me cry slightly more than laugh. Thank you both so much for reacting to Jumanji, and RIP Robin Williams. 🥺❤️
I hoped you watched Hook as well? He was super good in that...played a similar character to this one.
I don't remember a time where I didn't know who he was
Indeed. Jumanji was also my introduction to Robin Williams, I watched Aladdin after this. Since then Robin Williams's movies have always been part of my journey.
@@tbakhalid4781 but u gotta watch him in hook
@@dynamicdave2647 I've seen Hook bro. Jumanji however was my introduction to Robin Williams.
Awesome classic
R.I.P. Robin Williams you are missed 😢
From the way they're acting it seems the kids don't have any memory of the events, but their facial expressions say something to me. Maybe not the full memory, but a feeling of happiness and familiarity perhaps?
Please watch "The Neverending Story".
I like this movie because it was rare to see robin williams not act like his goofy self, also I still have this on VHS
Sucks that Alan's first roll was to be stuck in the Jungle.
The realtor had a bite on her head, meaning the mosquito bit into her brain...this is a KIDS MOVIE?!!
One of the reasons I'm not as big a fan of the sequel films(Welcome to the Jungle and the Next Level)is that this movie set such a high standard and what I imagined for the Jungle was sooooo much darker and scarier. Alan's monologue about the things he had to deal with growing up in there was amazingly scary.
I get chills every time at the ending as we see Alan's piece go over the word, the soft sound of the glass core and Alan's soft and awed "Jumanji..."
"Lesson from this movie, don't go to Canada."
Me, a Canadian:You bastard...
The Hunter/Van Pelt is unable to be killed. In the animated series(which was not so bad and expanded on the movie plot a bit), killing the Hunter meant that you had to replace him.
The first episode had Alan show the kids toys of other players who DIDN'T win...sweet dreams.
Another Kirsten Dunst film I strongly insist you two react to is the comedy film "Drop Dead Gorgeous". Before "Spider-Man"and absolutely hilarious.
According to the rules of Jumanji in the sequels, Judy and Peter should remember once it is the same time as when they played Jumanji before everything was undone. So we see them at the end but it’s before their parents’ car accident. They will remember months later when they reach the point where they would have moved into the Parrish house.
Fun Fact: At the christmas party at the end of the movie, the presents Sarah and Alan give the kids each "Jumanji" shoes. The Shooes were shown in a deleted scene and the props for them can be view online. So Tim, you're comment abuot the two giving the kids Jumanji for christmas wasn't far off.
Robin Williams absolutely brought his A game to this movie. If only the real life board game was this fun and exciting.
Actually Timmothee, there was a novelization of the Jumanji that not just made the movie frightening, but also gave the movie a majority of it's plot. This movie gave me nightmares all the way up to middle school, and 2-3 in highschool. Thanks be to GOD this doesn't scare me no more
Jonathan Hyde both plays Sam Parrish & Van Pelt, but I have heard a theory that the old hobo living in the factory is his father who fake his death after he was suspected to have kill his son
RIP Robin Williams It's sad that he's not with us and I Love this and He Did Amazing Job with Live action Popeyes
Aside from the fact that it was the same actor, the hunter looking like Alan's father is a metaphor since the hunter is a man, and Alan keeps fleeing from him because he isn't ready to be a man
It didn't strike me as a child, only later as an adult, that Alen's father and the hunter are played by the same actor. which is quite a clever metaphor for his daddy issues.
I much prefer this Jumanji to the other 2 for many reasons,but the main one being Robin Williams,he does such an absolutely wonderful performance that outshines the acting in both the new Jumanji movies combined,the risks this movie took only makes the movie better and scarier,what I mean by scarier is how Alan describes his long and grueling time in the game in perfect detail,I could see how utterly terrified he was by how he doesn't even blink or break eye contact with either of the kids, you could only imagine what horrors he's seen by how detailed his description was of Jumanji,I must praise the CGI for many of the creatures shown in this movie while many of them were exaggerated it just added to the horror side of this movie and are made to scare and unsettle you,the monkeys though while they may have looked good at the time they were made they just look dated and very old,but it did however foreshadowed the franchise known as Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes which I thought was really quite interesting
If you are interested there is a movie called Zathura, it’s a lot like this movie.
Same author and universe as Jumanji.
I just love these old movies. To me, it's much more believable and epic when they actually create things instead of using cgi for EVERYTHING like in modern movies.
I had the Jumanji board game when I was a kid and I still do. I also had the Zathura board game but I think I gave that away (I’ll look around my house again to see if I still do). They were fun but didn’t have animals and hunters attacking us or houses going into space and us kids having to fighting against evil aliens.
(24:03) Interesting question from that gun salesman. That was a problem in the late 80s-early 90s. The phrase "going postal" became a thing during that time.
(28:27) Looks like Peter learned from the best when it comes to setting traps for bad guys. Courtesy of Kevin McCallister.
And I used to believe back then as a kid when Alan said, “you will not last five minutes without me.” I interpreted that as if Alan leaves the group, Peter slowly turns into a monkey. When in actuality, I didn’t hear the part of what he did by dropping the dice repeatedly to win, which in turn this transformation is the punishment for cheating.
We used to watch this every Christmas at our house back in the day, Nostalgia hits hard . where has the time gone?
Alan to Sam on why he rejects Cliffside and the Parrish name: "Kids are already on my case BECAUSE I'm a Parrish. Maybe I don't want to be like you. Maybe I don't want to be a 'Parrish'."
Tim's response: "Then YOU'RE gonna perish."
😂 I laugh-choked a little on my lemonade after I heard that. That not only sounds like one stern or badass parental threat, but I was like "Bro - Tim's getting dark and I LOVE it!"
And you know, given the dangerous plot with Alan, Sarah, Judy and Peter, Alan getting "jailed" by the game and the alternate reality from the game as it was left unfinished for 26 years?YOU...WEREN'T...WRONG. 🤔 😁
And to answer you and Malbread's question: YES, Jonathan Hyde, is the actor behind Sam Parrish (Alan's father) and Van Pelt, one of the game's animal and bounty hunters. There have been interesting theories about this dual role, like with Alan having to survive in the game, so the game may have psychologically (or demonically or supernaturally, you're free to interpret) read on Alan's suppressed fear and emotional trauma off his strict and hard-working father, creating how he and we would see Van Pelt. Because, remember: "the game thinks". Alan had to literally fight his way inside the game since it was abandoned. Until Judy and Peter curiously joined new players in the future, Peter rolled the "5" that got Alan "out of jail". Think like playing a video game: Alan fought inside the game, the game fought Alan. He learned patterns, but this game could learn something off HIM, too.
So, knowing about this dual role, I'd say Tim's joke on "being killed by his dad" was possibly closer than realized. 😉
Loved this movie so much I’m glad you reacted to this!
Hope you enjoy the video!
Me too. This movie reminds me of Jurassic park.
Have anyone seen the Animated Series?
It was dope
When I was younger, yes.
He was a great actor and comedian. Hes gone be we will still remember him by his movies
This is going to sound silly, but this movie SCARED me as a kid, especially the scene when Alan got sucked in, and when the spiders, the croc, and the lion appeared. Like, I got so anxious and my heart pounded every time I watched it. Even watching it now, despite the CGI being old and silly, I get slight anxiety watching the scenes now. Frikin awesome movie, so glad you enjoyed it! 😊👍
One of my favorites starring/featuring Robin Williams. Parts of this film were taped in Keene, New Hampshire. There's even a little mural of Parrish shoes painted on one of the sides of the building on Main Street. I can't remember which building it was though...
Man this film throws me into 90´s when we watched this on VHS with my friends.... Still epic film. Considering its almost 30 years old, CGI holds up surprisingly well...
13:23
For 1995, that lion looks amazing!
😎
Both the CGI and the animatronic!
In 1969, Alan Parrish lives in Brantford, New Hampshire, with his parents, Sam and Carol. One day, he escapes a group of bullies and retreats to Sam's shoe factory. He meets his friend, Carl Bentley, who reveals a new shoe prototype he made himself. Alan misplaces the prototype and damages a machine, but Carl takes responsibility and is dismissed. After the bullies attack Alan and steal his bicycle, Alan follows the sound of tribal drumbeats to a construction site. He finds a board game called Jumanji, which was buried a century earlier, and brings it home.
That evening, after arguing with Sam about attending a boarding school, Alan plans to run away, but his friend, Sarah Whittle, returns his bicycle. Alan shows her Jumanji and invites her to play. With each dice roll, the game pieces moves by themselves and a cryptic message describing the roll's outcome appears in the crystal ball at the center of the board. After Alan inadvertently rolls a five, a message tells him to wait in a jungle until someone rolls a five or eight, and he is sucked into the game. Shortly after, a swarm of bats appears and pursues Sarah out of the house.
Twenty-six years later, Judy and Peter Shepherd move into the now-vacant Parrish house with their aunt Nora after their parents died in an accident on a ski trip in Canada the winter before. Discovering Jumanji in the attic, Judy and Peter begin playing it, with their rolls summoning giant mosquitoes and a troop of monkeys. After learning that everything will be restored when the game ends, they continue playing. Peter next rolls a five, releasing a lion and an adult Alan. As Alan makes his way out, he meets Carl, who is now working as a police officer. At the now-abandoned shoe factory, Alan learns that his father abandoned the business to search for him after his disappearance until his death four years prior. Eventually, the factory's closure sent Brantford into economic decline.
Realizing Sarah is needed to finish the game, the three locate Sarah, now suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder due to both Jumanji and Alan's disappearance, and persuade her to join them. Sarah's next move releases deadly jungle vegetation and Alan's releases a big-game hunter named Van Pelt, whom he first met in the game's jungle-like inner world. The next roll summons a stampeding herd of various animals and a pelican from it steals the game. Peter retrieves it, but Carl arrests Alan. Back in town, the stampede wreaks havoc, and Van Pelt steals the game, intent on using it to lure Alan to him.
Peter, Sarah and Judy follow Van Pelt into a discount store, where they battle him to reclaim the game, while Alan, after revealing his identity to Carl, is set free. Upon returning to the mansion, now completely overrun by the vegetation, the quartet release one calamity after another until Van Pelt returns. When Alan drops the dice, he wins the game, which reverses everything that happened as a result of the game.
Alan and Sarah return to 1969 when the game began, just in time for Alan to reconcile with Sam, who tells him he does not have to attend boarding school. Alan also admits his guilt in damaging the factory's machine, insuring Carl's rehiring. After realizing they have memories of the events that took place during the game, Alan and Sarah throw Jumanji into a river before sharing a kiss.
In an alternate version of the present, Alan and Sarah are now married and expecting their first child. Alan's parents are still alive while he is now successfully running the family business. Alan and Sarah meet Judy, Peter, and their parents, Jim and Martha, for the first time during a Christmas party. Alan offers Jim a job after convincing the couple to cancel their skiing trip, averting their deaths in the original timeline.
Meanwhile, two young girls hear drumbeats while walking on a beach, as Jumanji is seen lying partially buried nearby.
I was shocked to learn that this is an actually board game that you can get.
The problem with only making a shoe that is a pair. "Wait did he only make one and it got ruined?"
The monkeys knows how to use a gun and drive the police car is priceless 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sony should do a crossover with Zathura
That film’s part of the same universe as Jumanji.
I wish they did a reboot/continuation similar to what we got with the recent Jumanji movies with Dwayne Johnson. Instead of kids playing the game and their house goes into space, they should make it a War of the Worlds-esque movie where kids play the Zathura game and it involves an alien invasion and things like meteor showers attacking earth.
R.I.P To A Great Actor Comedian Robin Williams, Still Miss You Always
The actor who plays Alan’s Dad and Van Pelt was Cadbury in ‘Richie Rich’ (1994)
From what we find out in Jumanji welcome to the jungle yes Judy and Peter have memory of what happened
5:50 Every time *I* hear a grandfather clock, I think “Is it 6 yet?”. Does anyone else?
19:25 when they kidnapped her 😂😂
I wouldn't mind seeing a prequel set in 1869. Since that town was apparently in the middle of nowhere back then it would be very hard to find help, especially with no telephones or cars.
Fun fact: Tom Hanks was one of the first choices to play Alan Parrish. His son Colin Hanks has a minor role in the sequel.
Jumanji is one of my favorite movies from my childhood I remember the animated series where Judy and Peter entered this world to help Alan to exit the game
I really appreciate that you chose to bring the reaction to the Jumanji movie, you always choose great movies, I'm really happy to follow you 🥰🥰
After Aladdin, this might have been my second introduction to the late great Robin Williams. The first physical role I saw him in was Mrs. Doubtfire, he really was a genius actor.
"Do the kids have memories?"
No, since the game kind of "undone" the timeline (prove of that is the element of the parents: Sarah and Alan get to know the parents and prevent their deaths, as far as we know; securing a happier timeline for the kids).
"Destroy it!"
The film never explicitly states it, but some lore about cursed objects can be used here: you can't destroy an object heavily imbued with magic, unless you use the right magic. Burn it, crush it, toss it underwater... the game will always find a way to return because it's more than just the wooden board. Partially that's why it's not rotten after a century underground or several decades underwater: it was made to last. You want to see how cursed an object can be to come back from destruction? Check a film of the 1970's named "Christine".
"Play it nonstop!"
It's a good idea... that the game is aware of. Many people don't get that the consequences of the game not only escalate, but ask you to risk (literally) life and limb to finish it: carnivorous plants, poisonus animals and vegetation, shattering earthquakes... the rules don't state it, but the boardgame is another character (we could say it's a tertiary villain, since it's motivations run way in the back, only seen through proxies) that is making everything in its power so the curren game is never finished (the only thing holding it back from straight murder is the same magic that fuels the game; it seems it was programmed to give people a chance to fight back, and only die if the circumstances are just too much).
"Did Sarah ruin Mr. Parrish reputation?"
Not really. If you, kind of, piece togheter the beginning and the end of the film, you get a timeline of how Alan's disappearance became an urban legend of the town: Alan and his father fight, he leaves, in the span of (more less) five to ten minutes Alan is gone (Sarah was chased out of the house by magical bats, so she is not there when Mr. Parrish returns for his speech notes); when Mr. Parrish returns there is no one in the house, a boardgame at the table and Alan's luggage.
Now, all the clues public opinion and authorities have to solve the mystery is that Mr. Parrish wanted to send his son away (not that he wanted to get rid of him... but there is already a bad implication about it), that the kid made him angry, and that there is a girl swearing Alan was sucked by a magical game... no wonder urban legends decided to think, better, that Mr. Parrish was a murderer.
And that's it. Nice reaction and see you in the next one.
I'm from nh and since the movie was filmed in keene, nh I always had a special liking for this movie since it came out. Even before Mr. Williams passed the the Parrish shoe factory ads painted on the wall stayed painted.
Fun Fact
The Hunter and His Dad are played by the same Actor 😂😂
When the gun store owner asked him if he was a postal worker
It was a reference to several shootings that took place by postal employees.
Dating all the way back to the 1970s, there have been several instances of postal employees shooting up post offices.
Pretty dark joke to include in a kids movie
But still hilarious when you understand the context
I love how the actor who plays Van Pelt also plays Mr. Parrish. It’s like Mr. Darling also playing Captain Hook in Peter Pan
I used to agree with the just keep rolling. But imagine dealing with a lion stampied going spiders plants and vanpelt at the same.
31:28 - 31:54 Carl Scream and poor car of Carl 😂😂😂😂😂
One of my favourites from late great Robin Williams and the most treasured movies from my childhood ❤️❤️❤️this movie just gives you everything from those drums banging then you know something’s about to happen and crazy things that show up like the animals and crazy plant and the Hunter and Alan finally coming out of the game after being stuck for so long. Although I do admit there’s parts that scared me as a kid like Peter turning into a chimp because he cheated and Alan getting sucked into the game but watching it now as adult its changed for me like now I find it funny 😄 The best part for me is I’m glad Alan and Sarah got to together and got to see Judy and Peter again at end I thought it was good way to finish the movie. I’m glad you guys watched it and enjoyed it and thought it was awesome and can’t wait for the next reaction 😊😄😃😉😉
Anybody that ever broke a lamp while the parents were away, will appreciate how it would feel, that when the damage just keeps getting worse and worse. There is a lot of dread of getting in trouble... That they read to rules to know it would all be undone by winning. I don't know if I would have been able to believe that so easily.. even with all the unbelievable stuff that was happening. lol
8:20 This part creeped me out so much, I couldn’t even finish the movie!
If I remember correctly, this was a Caldecot winning book. Either way, my son loved it.
Glad you guys brought this into the reaction realm.
Fan fact:I born in 1995😊
Robin Williams never forget...
"Good morning Vietnam,,
Ahhhh Jumanji *chef’s kisss* note doubt this is a Classic!!! Shocked Tim has never seen it before! Rip Robin Williams. This movie is one of my Mom’s favorites.
