Robin Williams, Kirsten Dunst and Bonnie Hunt star in this phenomenal adaptation of the award-winning children's book. When young Alan Parrish discovers a mysterious board game, he doesn't realize its unimaginable powers, until he is magically transported before the startled eyes of his friend, Sarah, into the untamed jungles of JUMANJI! There he remains for 26 years until he is freed from the game's spell by two unsuspecting children. Now a grown man, Alan (Williams) reunites with Sarah (Hunt)and together with Judy (Kirsten Dunst) and Peter (Bradley Pierce) tries to outwit the game's powerful forces in this imaginative adventure that combines breathtaking special effects with an enchanting mixture of comedy, magic and thrills.

Except he just wiped away 26 years of existence from everyone else in the universe. And his presence in this new timeline means everyone he interacts with from that point forward won't have the same life they originally had, which will "butterfly effect" out to everywhere even further into the future. This is a horrific ending for everyone *except* Alan.

[@girl1213]

Alan only realized that until after he came back from the jungle: no matter how mad Sam may get at him, he never wants to lose him. That came Alan the courage to tell his father his mistake instead of running from it. The guilt of causing the accident is why Van Pelt was created: Jumanji was showing him you can run forever away from guilt, a mistake or things that scare you. You have to face it eventually. And now that he has, he realizes just how much Sam cares.

[@StealthMode3924]

@@girl1213not to mention, Sam and his wife died without ever learning what happened to Alan.

[@AtrocityEquine01]

@@girl1213 THAT is actually one interesting way to interpret it. Jumanji (the game) at least for me had some conscious sentience and seemed to know what each of it's players had. In the case of all four of them, it knew Alan had some fractured relationship with his father, which is why it had Sam's face on Van Pelt: Alan was scared of his father and also feared him (probably in being a disappointment). The game knew how much guilt Sarah carried over not saving Alan, so it'd at times remind her of that by throwing everything she feared of it at her. As for Judy and Peter, the Game knew how much they truly missed their parents, in terms of Judy hiding it and Peter lamenting their deaths and how scared he was to continue life without them. So ie threw them into far _worse_ situations. Heck, it _punished_ Peter for trying to cheat. And if we take the sequels into consideration, that _is_ the case. The game is _smart_.

And it depends on the individual. Robin Williams? I don’t know how he acts behind the scenes. If he was an abusive guy, that’s unfortunate. If he was a drug abuser or an alcoholic, which he did cocaine and was an alcoholic, that’s also unfortunate. At least he change and tried to change. Additionally, sure, he may have an affair. That’s like betrayal aside from cheating. Why marry if you plan to cheat one day? This is a common thing for everyone who are married in the world. Again, each individual is different. Marriage no problem? Alright. Then you have other flaws. No one is perfect. Even one of the former presidents, regardless of how good or bad he did during his tenure also praised Robin Williams. You and many people like you on the other hand? Pieces of trash. Bla, bla, bla all you want in return. I will just ignore you. Trashes are not worth listening to anyway.

[@tylermoviepro]

3:28 the father's face gets me teary eyed. Though he truly loved his son, he kept his emotions hidden to be like his own father who raised him. You can feel in this moment not only how much he loves his son dearly but is reforming his old parental habits realizing Alan does not need tough love like he did growing up.

[@MDE_never_dies]

My father went to boarding school and his father wasn't very involved in his life at a young age. I can see alot of my father in Alan's father. I had a very strained relationship with my old man growing up. Until when I was 16 something happened to me, I won't say exactly what, but it was my first real brush with death. During my stay in hospital recovering, I saw my father go from this stern, cold and unwaivering man which is all I'd ever know, to a man bawling his eyes out in front of me at the thought of nearly losing me, it changed things. As I've gotten older I've come to understand where he was coming from, he was hard on me for a reason, not out of malice, but love in his own way, it was just how he is. Our relationship is pretty good now I would say. Watching this scene as a kid just meant the fun part of the movie was over, watching this part as an adult hits me right in the gut.

[@editingbasket9728]

Your great ending : realize as adult the hunter and father are the same actor, and the younger kids that found the game later got deleted when the jump back in time happened.

[@blusafe1]

There's no "true villain" in this movie. it's a self-journey archetype with homies thrown in. The hunter, Van Pelt is a representation of Alan's lack of self-confidence, loneliness, social isolation, and daddy issues rolled into a physical character. You'd think it would be obvious, since Van Pelt and the dad are the same actors. Overcoming true fear is about suppressing that fear, it's about facing it with courage, dignity, and intelligence - a lesson his dad tried teaching albeit inappropriately. Through Jumanji, Alan finally learns the lessons his dad was trying to teach him.

[@Durlomthir]

@@blusafe1 It probably is a reference to a tradition in Peter Pan plays where Mr Darling is played on stage by the same actor than Hook (the 2003 movie did that too with Jason Isaacs playing both). Sure, that's not a Peter Pan movie, but that's kinda a movie about growing up when you think about it. So yes, there is the father and the "evil" character representing the daddy issues. That's pretty obvious Alan even knew Van Pelt in the Jumanji world he was stuck as the fear was obvious before he even appeared. In the end, Alan grew up as a person after the whole adventure like Wendy did.

[@Egobyte83]

Jonathan Hyde was really perfectly cast in this movie. He is both the loving but stern father turned evil charicature of himself in Van Pelt because of Alan's innate fear of his father. I always loved when Alan says that you have to face your fear and Van Pelt acknowledges that he is acting like a man, a small part of me wanted to belive that having Van Pelt saying so, in a way gives Alan the validation from his father that he always wanted. I know they patch things up in a more meaningful way when he is transported back in time, but this little tiny moment also hit pretty hard for me.

Yeah, exactly, also explains why everything including the entire world affected by the game is all reset back to how it would be before the game started once it's finished.

If it hadn't been for Alan, who managed to finish the game - I don't think they'd ever had chance to EVER finish it, bc Judy would die, not ever being able to make a move.

Judy overcame her stoic sarcastic mask to properly express her vulnerabilities, Peter was able to overcome his silence from grief and speak up and protect those he cared about, Sarah overcame her fear of Jumanji and didn’t abandon Alan in his time of need, and Alan overcame his fear of his father, and not being good enough for him by staring at the hunter and facing him head on like his father had said earlier in the movie.

This is probably the movie I've watched the most number of times. I don't really rewatch movies, but when I was a kid, I must have rewatched it over a dozen times. Probably half of those were when I was sick with the flu for a few days. I just watched it back to back, over and over, until I was better, rewinding the VHS tape. I still treasure that memory.

[@sythrin144]

That movie and back to the future

[@HeyMyLifeIsLibby]

In terms of capturing the essence of the human existence, this was one of the best endings Disney ever created.

[@Hugz4All16]

Disney did not originally produce or own the rights to the first Jumanji movie. That came much later when Sony made a deal with Disney a few years ago

[@comelegrand89]

It's ironic ? 🤣😅 Idk

[@editingbasket9728]

Your best ending : realize as adult the hunter and father are the same actor, and the younger kids that found the game later got deleted when the jump back in time happened.

[@DisposableSupervillainHenchman]

“Jumanji” and its sequels weren’t made by and aren’t owned by Disney. Sony made them and owns them.

[@Dunamix15]

@@editingbasket9728 wtf kids didn't got deleted, Alan and Sarah meet them later, and by their looks, like they smiling to older heroes we can kinda assume they didn't loose memory of game.

It’s a small detail, but I always loved the echoed screams as Van Pelt gets fully sucked in at 2:14

[@fgjjdgb3949]

It was funny at the same time, because such a formidable character had become so ridiculous, and at the same time it was a little pity for him.

[@michaelsong5555]

For those of you who were wondering why the gun/bullet were erased, even though they had nothing to do with Jumaji... It's because all "events" that happened after the first roll were erased. The timeline itself was erased.

[@christopherjohnson5236]

Everything gets resetted after the game ended

[@michaelsong5555]

@@christopherjohnson5236 Not everything. The 1st (Sarah) and 2nd players' (Alan) memories were kept intact. What's more, it seems that not everyone can play the game in the first place, as only Sarah and Alan were able to hear the drum beats. I'm not sure if Judy and Peter heard them too, but I assume so. I assume that the Jumanji game specifically "picks" the chosen players, although the chosen ones can choose to not play.

[@Noobie2k7]

Yeah, since the game was technically still being played all the way since 1969 everything after that point could have been considered affected by the game so was erased. I'm guessing players of the game always get to keep their memories of playing the game afterwards, Julie and Peter though obviously couldn't since they were also erased with the timeline.

[@michaelsong5555]

@@Noobie2k7 Yes! I've been saying that for years. Peter and Judy were killed -- they ceased to exist.

[@trevorblue4531]

The gun was deleted from the timeline, just like Judy and Peter, the gun doesn't exist yet in 1969! The game targets those ''who want to leave their world behind!'' That's why only some people can hear the drums! Peter and Judy weren't killed - they just didn't exist yet!

Robin Williams gave us a touch of wonder. A glimmer of joy in our daily lives. Now that he is gone we feel nothing more than the gray wastes of adulthood and the bitter realization that there will never be another like him. Rest well Robin.

And today, despite watching this movie probably 100 times, I just realized that the father and the hunter are played by the same actor. O, the symbolism.

[@trevorblue4531]

It's a reference 2 when Peter Pan is staged as a play, where it's a tradition 2 have the same actor play both Mr. Darling and Captain Hook!

[@thetimebeforedawn]

the effects still look good today.....atleast far better than some other movies!

[@theterriblegamer1228]

If i remember right, this movie was shot on film. Not just any film, the best of modern film technology before the shift to 100% digital. The VFX are overlaid and added in post production. you can get crazy good looking upscales when digitizing from high density film. I honestly more movies were shot this way today. Jumanji looks really good because of it.

[@VanderbiltMr]

One of Robin Williams best. RIP!

[@AtrocityEquine01]

I got the chills when you realize that because Alan completed the game, *EVERYTHING* is going back. Every god damn thing that ruined Alan's life and his town is going back into that god damn board game where it belongs.

[@trevorblue4531]

Actually, the game stopped Alan from running away, got Sarah 2 dump Billy Jessup, and kept Judy and Peter's parents from dying! It's technically Chaotic Good!

[@jacobripley3926]

Glad Alan fixed his mistake and told his dad what really happened and Carl got his job back.

[@1yabba]

The world has changed immensely since Robin's departure. I would love to hear what he would comment about today through his humor he would be able to help us through these times.

[@LeonardoKlotz]

It's so interesting that both Van Pelt and Alan's dad were played by the same actor

[@trueblue6201]

It is a reference to Peter Pan, where that was also done (Mr. Darling/Captain Hook).

[@rikosaikawa9024]

That was the entire point.

[@rikosaikawa9024]

​@@trueblue6201 no its to mean he is scared of his dad

It's to portray a metaphor to get Allen to become the man he's meant to be, but to do it his way, in a sense.

[@trueblue6201]

@Riko Saikawa ... you do realize that there was a similar metaphor in Peter Pan right?

[@ezekielmcville5101]

This movie was replayed in my high school whenever we had Fundraiser/MovieNight ... it was such a classic... along with Hocus Pocus, Sister Act and other great 90s Family movies.

Bonnie Hunt and the director of the new Jumanji films are working together on Red One, so I have hope that she, Peter, and Judy will return one final time. RIP Robin Williams.

[@abdizur8765]

Amen, they could write Alan off and have Sarah and Alan's kids along with whatever has happened with Judy and Peter in the decades since. They brought Nora back for next level so it is the same universe but I find it odd that none of the kids knew anything about Alan or Parrish Shoes. The Parrishes would be local legends.

I’ve never watched the remake because I don’t think it could never own up to the magic of the original.

[@PyroGothNerd]

They're actually not remakes, they're sequels. The film starts off with the board game turning into a video game to get someone to play it, and the characters find where Alan lived during his time inside the game.

Honestly they're not that bad

I was a kid when I saw this movie and did not understand it that well back then, But today I understand it well enough

[@jarlairess]

I always wondered how Van Pelt managed to get himself *in* Jumanji. As seen here, he is a legitimate part of it, not someone who got stuck like Alan. I remember reading somewhere that he was cursed by the people who made Jumanji due to crimes against animals or something

[@Keyda3star.]

Van pelt is supposed to represent your greatest fear the thing you ran away from. In this case Alan's dad. He's afraid of disappointing him and confronting him. Which is ironic since dad and van pelt are the same actor.

[@tbakhalid4781]

He didn't get himself in Jumanji. He is created by Jumanji as a representation of Alan's greatest fear. Alan like peter man was in denial at the idea of growing up and facing his problem for himself. His dad always told him otherwise which is why he used to antagonize his father in his mind. That's why the game made Van Pelt, a struggle that chase while he rubs as usual instead of facing it. The game deliberately gave Van Pelt Alan's father's face.

[@chengvang2126]

Cases of European(s) hunting ethnic minorities (real humans) are well documented and photographed … so that adds a ghastly light to this whole safari costumed white man hunting another human.

[@fgjjdgb3949]

This idea was embodied in a fan short film on Jumanji describing its creation. They say the game was created by a shaman, but then Van Pelt came with other forwarders and attacked the village of aborigines, then the shaman made sure that the magic absorbed them. But I prefer the version that the hunter adapts universally to each player and in fact all the creatures of the game are artificial and programmed not to harm, but only to arrange tests for players and scare them. Perhaps the animals and Van Pelt are not even alive in the usual sense of the word, but something like ghosts.

[@colbykanter2000]

I'd say that I have many worst fears. Car accidents, health scares, getting attacked by bad people, and fatal incidents that I have no control over, like boulders, trees, or aircraft falling on top of my house, asteroid strikes, volcano eruptions, flying objects that can hit you or your car, bad weather disasters, unintentional or uncontrollable mishaps, and even accidents in space that might destroy the planet. The worst part about these fears is that it could happen at any time, whether you expect or know about it or not. I might be worrying too much when it comes to anything exaggerated, but it's something to consider if it's possible to happen. I don't even want to think about it, though.

[@paulmacartney8266]

As a kid when I saw this in the 90's in was just another ending to a movie. Rewatching this as an adult in my 30's, its much more emotional now. I know, eventually, my parents are going to pass away and the idea of loosing them in my life makes me now want to spend as much time with them as I can and savor all these moments. This movie has a great underlying theme of the love shared between children and their parents, that you don't necessarily pick up on until you're an adult.

[@tbakhalid4781]

Robin Williams MADE my childhood. If not for his movies then my childhood would be so so baseless and grim. As someone who grew up in abusive household, Robin Williams' movies be it emotional or comedies always helped me get through the dark phases. Jumanji helped me to face my fears, Flubber taught me not to take relationships and profession for granted, Mrs Doubtfire made me approach my family and Dead Poet Society helped me get over tough years and hold onto my ambitious. I feel so bad for Mr Williams cause he had to go through one of the worst painful death. Its scary to think that the man who could make every laugh, went through such a torturous pain. My condolence to his family and friends.

Jumanji was filmed right down the street from my in Jaffrey NH. The initial stampeed where the monkey hops into the aunts car. And a portion of it in another town close by in keene where the animals are racing through the town causing mayhem. Theres even a parish mural on the side of the bullding where everyone left memorials to robin williams. I love that my home towns were locations for this masterpiece of a film

[@erikblaas5826]

Sarah as to not being traumatized and Alan for not having to grow up on his own in the jungle...
