Jumanji, The Movie


Johnston, J. (1995) Jumanji. Sony Pictures

When Alan Parrish, (played by Robin Williams), finds an old board game, he has no clue what awaits him. When he and friend Sarah Whittle start to play, he is pulled into the game and she is chased from the house by bats. Fast-forward 26 years to when brother and sister Peter and Judy Shepherd start to play. They free a now grown Alan from the game, but in the process release monkeys, mosquitoes, and a lion. They realize they must finish the game to make everything return to normal. Reuniting with the adult Sarah, they attempt to stay alive long enough to do just that.

A wonderful family movie, (although may be a bit scary for the very young), that is full of suspense, adventure, and fantasy.
