That father/son reunion scene at the end gets me tearing up every time. Didn't used to when this movie came out and I was 5-years-old, but time will do that to you.

[@MrsUzumaki]

Me too! I was 5 when it came out and the film haunted my nightmares. Now I cry 😂

[@tarlane]

An easy to overlook detail is the hunter who is constantly berating about cowardice and being a man is played by same actor as his father. 'Hunter from the darkest wilds. Makes you feel just like a child'

[@musical_lolu4811]

Great metaphor.

[@thejamppa]

Amazing detail for for greatest fears and anxiety was his father and his expectations... It must have been fun to make this film.

[@mikebrown7799]

Hi Nia!😊 It took me multiple viewings to realize the same actor that plays Allan's dad is also Van Pelt the hunter. I guess Van Pelt is Allan's representation of his dad in the game. They both talk to Allan about becoming a man. In this new reality the soul man would not have been fired and his sneaker would have turned the town around, and it would be prosperous in the present. I know you saw at least one of the sequels. There are two. You should watch the second sequel "Jumanji: The Next Level" (2019) if you haven't seen it. It has some very clever writing. Great reactions to the original Jumanji, Nia!!!🎬👏👏👏👏

[@twentythreeforlife]

Thank you for explaining Van Pelt. Many don’t catch this.

[@domingocurbelomorales8635]

The postal worker line when dude was buying the weapon was some dark humor. It was in reference to being a mass shooter. Back in the day an infamous mass shooting occured at a post office with the shooter being an ex postal worker. It's also where the term "going postal" generated from.

[@Bill_pierre]

Such a fun movie; Carl's screaming when the vines take his car and later when the flood and crocodile always had me in stitches.

[@benjauron5873]

You need to watch "Zathura: A Space Adventure," which is actually the first sequel to "Jumanji." Or, set in the same universe, anyway. You'll see. It's great.

[@BigGator5]

"A hunter from the darkest wild / Makes you feel just like a child." "What is it?" "Van Pelt." Fun Fact: The film was made into a board game by MB Games in 1996 and it was re-released in 2018. Double Duty Fact: The dual casting of Jonathan Hyde as both Alan's father and the antagonistic hunter Van Pelt is similar to the theatrical custom of Peter Pan, with George Darling and Captain Hook being played by the same actor. Crocodile Hunter Fact: Robin Williams told a story about filming the scene where Alan wrestles a crocodile. He said that in one take he got a little carried away and thumped the crocodile with his elbow, forgetting that there was a man inside the suit. He heard a voice inside the crocodile yell "Hey!" in protest. Gun Enthusiast Fact: Van Pelt's (Jonathan Hyde) hunting rifle is a Winchester M1901 rifle, highly modified with an amended stock (complete with a custom checkered pattern and cheek cushion), a false box magazine, a rear sight, a large tube placed over the barrel with a foresight, and muzzle "bell" in order to make it appear to be an elephant gun. When it runs out of ammunition, which cannot be replenished since it's been discontinued since 1903, he ends up replacing it with a Daewoo USAS-12 CQ outfitted with an unusually large scope, a drum magazine, and a suppressor to make it look like a sniper rifle. Location Location Fact: Keene, NH substituted for the fictional town of Brantford. Frank's Barber Shop is a featured setting as well as the Parrish Shoe sign, which was painted for the film. Robin Williams was beloved by Keene townsfolk during filming. He was even presented with the keys to the city by Keene's mayor in 1994. After his death in 2014, Keene residents crafted a makeshift memorial of flowers and candles below the Parrish Shoes sign, and even organized a public screening of the film. The Sir-Save-A-Lot sequence was shot in Tsawwassen, BC, at what was then the open-air Delta Fair Mall. The store had been Liquidation World before it closed. At the time of filming, the store was vacant, and although the exterior was repaired after the movie was shot, the store never re-opened. The mall has since been redeveloped, with Safeway the anchor tenant until 2016, when Safeway closed and was replaced by Save-On Foods. The Liquidation World in the old mall was along the west perimeter of the new mall, which is now a parking lot.

Great reaction. And your 'fever dream' recollection of the movie is fully justified by the fact that you watched the animated series. It was insane.

[@NiaMakiReacts]

Yeah I was sleeping and dreaming as the animated series was playing so it just felt like a nightmare lol

[@brandontrammel4581]

Ironically the worst thing to come out of the game was the smallest:aka the mosquitos. They literally took out so much of the town with such little time imagine if they had longer.

I saw Jumanji in theaters when I was 15 years old in that year 1995 bring memories and Robin Williams just awesome. Thank you Nia great reaction 🙂🙂🙂

[@shainewhite2781]

RIP, Robin Williams, we love you, we miss you.

[@maddwitch]

Before the kids and their parents show up, Alan is talking to his dad on the phone, which means that his being present kept his father from dying, so I figure that keeping the parents from going on the ski trip should save them.

[@MysterClark]

I'm not sure if you noticed or not (probably not) but in The Rock's Jumanji movie actually takes place where Alan was stuck all of those years after getting sucked into the game. If you watch the movie again you'll see some references to Alan Parrish. When that movie was coming out I just assumed it'd be a reboot but I guess it's an actual sequel. I enjoyed that one too but this will always be my favorite and what I think of when someone says Jumanji.

[@johnpaullogan1365]

references? i only remember the tree house had his name carved into it

[@eastsidemuu]

I dont think so.. they made it "fun" if you remember "allen" talkin he said It was terrifying 😳

Theoretically, you could play 1 turn with a partner each, finish the game later in life, then it would turn back time to when you started. You could effectively be immortal as long as you kept playing.

I think the timelines crossed in a way where the parents hadn’t gone to the trip yet and it was prevented by Peter’s extreme reaction to them saying they’re planning it?

[@jorgezarco9269]

[@ItApproaches]

This will always be better then the new ones. There is a movie that is a sequel to this, but it's different. It's called Zathura, which is another crazy game in the same universe as Jumanji. It's not bad.

[@johnpaullogan1365]

i mean it's hard to be a sequel to a robin williams movie. he's rather a unique actor. at least it wasn't as bad a sequel as the mask got.

[@ItApproaches]

@@johnpaullogan1365The Mask had no sequel, not sure what you're talking about. ( We don't talk about that abomination)

[@TyrekeCorrea]

The game was clearly produced with very powerful magic; even given that the game board is made of wood, there's a good chance it wouldn't have burned, like so many witches. Besides, the sequel involved being immersed in the world of Jumanji, but it was a video game world. Here, the game is made part of the real world, and so much reverts at the end because part of the impact made by the game is its impact on history.

[@JJgibson1]

Check out the movies Richie Rich(1994) and The Nutty Professor(1996).

[@MaxxJayHood]

hell yes! another one I've been anticipating

[@WilliamScavengerFish]

What should have happened is either a message left inside the box to warn the person who discovered the game or not bother trying to dispose of it and put it on display within a 4 inch thick transparent box (with a sign saying, "don't be shocked if you hear drums").

Every self defense class will tell you to run. They’ll teach you to fight too. Only in the movies and a handful of the best or biggest fighters are winning a 4vs1.

[@Yugioh420]

You mentioned the kevin Hart and Rock Jumanji. If you remember, when that movie starts, the dad finds it on the beach. Right where we just saw it left. Then, when his kid rejects it because it's a board game, then it turns itself into a video game to modernize with the times. That's all within first few min of the movie so you might have forgotten that part. Also if you watched the third one Nora's is the name of the restaurant. That's what happens to Aunt Nora since she doesn't have to raise the kids. She opens a restaurant. So even the third movie ties back into the first movie.

It would probably be hard to destroy the game. Magical items like that are notorious for being indestructible. Probably have to throw it back in the volcano where it was made or something like that.

[@HonkHonkler]

Alan and Sarah both have had their issues, but telling you side with the feels and not the male who's been trapped in a dangerous magical board game jungle for 26 years. Actually a REALLY good allegory for men and women IRL. Women's issues come from being coddled to heavily into complete delusion while men are thrown into the jungle of reality. Both with their issues, but can we all collectively (mainly women) admit that maybe JUST MAYBE women have had it just the tiniest bit harder in pretty much all of history. I could give you the list, but I'll just give you the biggest one... WAR!

[@NiaMakiReacts]

I don’t understand where you feel as though I sided with anyone? I was actually mad at her in the begging for leaving him trapped till I realize she tried and everyone just called her crazy… but even talking about how traumatic it must have been for him in the afterthoughts 34:43 and didn’t even mention her in any of the afterthoughts…. So a bit confused how u feel as though I “side with the woman” or where the argument of who had it worse comes in…

as far as if they should have burned it, why. what did the game do really. gave them a magical adventure. only lasting consequences seem to be whittle and parrish getting together and them saving the parents lives. why should the game deserve to be burned.
