The first 17 seconds of this opening gives you the feel of something truly terrifying that has yet to happen. I really like it when a cartoon does that.
I like how the phrase 'are you game' means either 'are you up for the challenge' or 'are you prey/food for the hunt (i.e. wild game!)' I only just noticed that! Very clever animation department!
+SimbaKid HD the jungle had too many episodes where part of it now seemed safe because they made friends, etc. Slowly corroded away at the soul of the show.

This is a great set of lyrics! Tells what it’s all about. I tried to make a few lines fit the music better, the beat of the tune matching the rhythm of the syllables. This is hard, I envy Gilbert, who could turn out pages of this stuff without effort. Anyway: ARE YOU GAME? You know you can’t run You know you can’t hide Danger comes to you From every side Terror or bravery Failure or victory Face all that Jumanji has And then you will see In this game you will find your destiny
I always preferred this to the movie actually,as a kid i was obsessed with this show; i remember that with a friend at school whe actually drew a version of the jumanji board ourselves and kept inventing riddles XD
+Dizzy Blu more importantly, remember that you WERE ok with it. One day you will have kids and deprive them of cool shit like this cartoon because you will read into it on a level they dont
*Enter a strange land where danger lurks everywhere.* *Enter a darkness that threatens the day and soul.* *Enter here where impossible is possible.* *Enter Jumanji.*
Like most good 80s-00s kids cartoons I feel the writing department had the freedom to make it equal parts fun and smart but add some real darkness and menace. Jumanji the world in the game was unfriendly, weird and very set in it's make up/resistant to change. Also the artist Everett Peck was a great move, shows look is still very unique.
*Jumanji... Brings me back those wonderful memories when I used to eagerly wait everyday late afternoon (around **17:00**) to watch this show. Along with this, Samurai X , Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) , X Files, Knight Rider and Johnny Quest altogether made my childhood in the 90s forever golden*
I'm glad I found this video, almost by chance. My shambled memory didn't allow me to remember this. And, am I the only one that thinks that "Jumanji" chant in the background makes it even better? Anyways, thanks for bringing my memories back
well guys the animation was intended to be ugly ,it ads the twisted atmosphere and makes the villains and monsters look more scary. at least that's what i think and the animation therfore suits this show.
It's not too often that a cartoon based on it's movie ends up so GOOD. On top of that, they ended the series with a true final episode that wraps up the story. All too often do shows just end after a few seasons while not resolving the story. This was a great show.
Same. I saw this before the movie (and waaaaaaay before the original picture book) and was surprised by how it goes on such a different direction. Smart move, though. Good series overall.

I just LOVE how they chanting "Jumunji" in the bg so ominously and the music similar to Indiana Jones adventurous spirit as well. ^w^ Definitely one of my favs childhood shows.
I remember watching and enjoying this series, but I forgot it looked like this. I only remember one specific episode where Alan and Peter refer to some guy as 'smarmy' haha - Thanks for some amazing nostalgia :)
One of the best cartoon intros ever. Like the way they suddenly notice you are watching them before the dice roll. Oh crap, the dice rolled eight. In the jungle you must wait Until you roll a five or eight Now I’m stuck in… *JUMANJI*
Ohh, that was thrilling and great, I liked a style of tv series, artwork and general plot! I tried to dress as Van Pelt for Christmas party when I was 12, and everybody asked me why am I wearing strange hat and a rifle, if I am Joseph Stalin
I love this show brings back my childhood memories when I was a child and my school days also years memories I remember this show I watched it alot it's been a long time since I have seen it
In general? Wow, that's a good question! Haha! But as for these animated shows, there was a good slew of them back in the day - Godzilla, Ghostbusters, The Mummy, The Mask, Beetlejuice, among others - these were all spin-off TV shows of the movies. You can see them as cash-ins, or you can see them as expansions of the universe or ways to explore avenues and themes the movie didn't or couldn't.
Haha wow, I just remembered this cartoon as I was browsing for a new movie to watch and saw Jumanji, the music to this intro is rather epic - love the slow falling dice too. They just don't make 'em like this anymore.
+Andrew Todaro in the original movie the gun shop owner asks van pelt if he Is a postman due to his pith helmet... In the Spanish dub he asks van pelt if he was a "cheated husband".... I thought this was a family movie! Lmao
Jumanji: The Series was Adelaide Productions' first series. I remember watching this 1990s cartoon (we know it's based on the 1995 TriStar Pictures film of the same name) when I was a kid. It was shown on UPN's UPN Kids block, but later seasons were syndicated by BKN. years ago. It's probably one of the most underrated 1990s cartoons of all time. I still like it though. The acting is great especially from Bill FagerBakke (same bloke who voices Patrick Star, SpongeBob's simple-minded best friend from SpongeBob Squarepants as we know as well ), Deby Derryberry, Ashley Joshson and of course, Tim Curry themselves. I think I have a crush on Judy. Judy is a very cute girl, isn't she? My favourite characters are Alan, Judy, Peter, Trader, Van Pelt and Professor J. S. Ibsen.
I'm afraid it's very real. Plenty of films got animated series' back then. Beetlejuice, Ghostbusters, Godzilla, The Mask - stuff like that. The idea was generally to explore the ideas and world the film set out to portray. In the Godzilla series, they introduced this whole backstory with aliens and new monsters, more like the original Japanese films.
That's actually good to know, I mean, we've have very few quality shows for a while, it's good see them bouncing back. I might find somewhere to watch Avatar, I've always been interested in it. I actually watched the full 4 seasons of Metalocalypse with my girlfriend, who has sort of begun to introduce me more to animation. Metalocalypse is a damn fine show (first 3 seasons for comedy, 4th for story), but I've always had the impression the more adult shows were rather crass.
such an epic show, gonna watch the movie again sometime for the nostalgia,i love plots like this, so bizzare and awesome all those dangers inside that board game huhuhu
You're absolutely right. Take shows like Batman, Samurai Jack and Invader Zim, there were heavy elements of noir, anime and very dark comedy in these shows. The animated Godzilla spin-off expanded upon a whole universe! There was real creativity and the writers weren't nearly as bogged down in creativity as they are with a lot of other things. I don't watch a whole lot of modern day cartoons, it's really just AT for me, but I've heard good things about Gravity Falls. Also, I love your name.
The first 17 seconds of this opening gives you the feel of something truly terrifying that has yet to happen. I really like it when a cartoon does that.
No it doesn't, you're soft.
I agree it is so cool to bad Cartoons don't do that anymore.
The fuck is your problem @@tracphonevirtualmagazine

i think thats more due to the writers or marketing dept.

Awesome, and very fitting with the beat of the song and theme of the series.
I forgot this show existed and the intro sent me back to my childhood!

Nice one, good for you. 🙂

@@libo2000 nope I thought it was scary as shit as a kid too. I just watched pokemon instead
it was scary even when I was a kid too

I loved this show when I was young, brings back so many delicious memories.
I wish I realized how lucky I was back then.
Man, this show brings back memories.
OMGGGGG!!!!! I love this show when I was a kid. Need to re-watch this.
You are a kid

you can compare this to the ugly animation in recent cartoon network shows.
but in comparison, the majority of CN shows suck.
Its been so long since ive heard this classic cartoon Theme ^_^.
Such an epic cartoon/movie Jumanji was back in the days
It's not too often that a cartoon based on it's movie ends up so GOOD. On top of that, they ended the series with a true final episode that wraps up the story. All too often do shows just end after a few seasons while not resolving the story. This was a great show.
I recently saw the whole series with my little brother. He loved it just as much as I did when I was a kid.
they had the longest necks ever haha
pikakiko I think you meant...heads lol
Like Dean Thomas
I remember watching this back in 1996-99. I was 5 when it first aired. Watching this brings back good old memories(:
i glad to be born in the 90's i enjoyed this show,
it makes me want to watch it again once i resaw this opening
Same. I saw this before the movie (and waaaaaaay before the original picture book) and was surprised by how it goes on such a different direction. Smart move, though. Good series overall.
to me this is the only canon Jumanji story
Best intro ever. I get chills every time I see it.
I love that they finally released the complete series on dvd. It's about time! 💖

May he Rest in Peace

Loved this show as a kid the 90s was an awsome time for cartoons I'm 23 and I love this.
You must be 33 now... How are you doin??
This cartoon is so damn good!
Am I the only one who's just loving the 'Jumanji' line between the music?
I just LOVE how they chanting "Jumunji" in the bg so ominously and the music similar to Indiana Jones adventurous spirit as well. ^w^ Definitely one of my favs childhood shows.
One the most epic Openings i've ever seen to a cartoon
I recently rewatched every episodes while being high... I didn't expect that at all, I was terrified most of the times.
Oh.those memories.love from Bangladesh. Thanks btv
Just this Theme brings back so much memories i didn't even know i had.
Imma watch it again
Brings me way back, loved it and still does
Wait this was real!? I wasn't dreaming this up as a kid!?
This show couldve had another season it was just that good.
It got 3, not bad
It had been concluded by Alan Parrish's solving of the riddle that he at last remembered in the final episode.
i cant remember when i was watching this animation, when i home from school i just watch and i really enjoy it
I adore the animation style
if some kids tells you that they can hear tribal drums, you better believe them =]
brings back a lot of memories...
I remember watching and enjoying this series, but I forgot it looked like this. I only remember one specific episode where Alan and Peter refer to some guy as 'smarmy' haha - Thanks for some amazing nostalgia :)
Watching this in 2018. I didn't hear the song for 15 years or so but I never forgot it.
This is phenomenal
i knew this was real and i didn't just imagine this! god i was so young when i watched this.
One of the best cartoon intros ever.
Like the way they suddenly notice you are watching them before the dice roll.
Oh crap, the dice rolled eight.
In the jungle you must wait
Until you roll a five or eight

The animators definitely had a unique style for this show. I used to love this, Mighty Max, Extreme Ghostbusters and Men In Black: The Series.
Also Jackie Chan Adventures, Stuart Little and Big Guy and Rusty.
Loved this cartoon.

I loved this as a kid.
If Jumanji was airing today, I bet Van Pelt's rifle would be replaced by a laser gun.
sparkshark789 Or a walkie-talkie.
+Gasoline85 You forget this was the same era as 90s Spider-Man, which did similar(Lasers, lasers everywhere).
+sparkshark789 In the movie, he ran out of bullets and purchased a new high tech machine gun.
I got that reference.

When you were a kid and heard this intro come on tv, you knew shit was about to get real.
I loved this show. so many memories in the 90s
I've come to face my childhood fear. This was absolutely traumatic.
But you did it.
And now, you are a man, Sunny Jim!
