"It's only a pack of wolves." I love that line because it hints at just how much those boys have been through. Wolves aren't scary anymore.
When a pack of wolves is no longer scary, you know something bad has happened.
And just think about all the squares we see the playing pieces pass over throughout the movie. Who knows what other horrors the boys encountered that we never saw 👀
I think it might also mean that they didn't have technology and modern infrastructure to separate them from immediate contact with the wilderness, the way we do.
@@TheGirmanatorSomething tells me there isn't consistency there. The game developers would have wanted to keep players on their toes.
There is a tradition, in “Peter Pan”, that the Father and Captain Hook are played by the same actor. Even in the cartoon, it is the same voice actor. I’m not sure, but I think the Hunter being played by the same actor as his Dad was a nod to that tradition.
Common misconception there. Thr actual reasoning behind it was cost effectiveness to use the same actor for two roles instead of hiring an additional actor. The cost to train and transport all the animals in the film ended up being so high they had to cut down on spending in other areas.
@@ivankawnartist this is a very old comment but I have to ask: are you suggesting they had to train and transport the extremely 90s CGI and puppeteer animals in this film? I wonder what the animal training cost for Jurassic Park was, or did they just get Chris Pratt to ✋✋✋ lol 🤡
@@K.C-2049 Honestly, I was bullshitting. 🤣
Watching this movie always reminds me of an important lesson; appreciate your parents while they're around because at any moment life could end for them and you may not be able to ever speak to them again...
parents and anyone else really. And not just appreciate but also think about what words you say to people, you don't know what your last words to them might be.
You see I never liked that hole or appreciate your parents then because some parents don't deserve it
@@Jbr2005 Especially since there are bad parents out there and I do not appreciate my bad parents
I lost both of my parents in 2020 Hardest thing I've ever faced. It changes you forever.
One really morbid thing that happens off screen that no one ever seems to notice is that Judy and Peter both die, but the rewind in time prevents their deaths. Judy dies because of the poisonous barbs shot in her neck and Peter dies because of the earthquake. Pretty dark which is why I think they never showed or mentioned it in the movie.
I always wanted to know what happened to Alan's parents during the entire time he was missing
At the very end, when Allen is at gunpoint, he says the entire moral of the movie: “My dad said you should always face what you fear.” It’s beautiful because this is the entire premise of the movie. All of the animals and effects aside, it’s ultimately about facing your fear. Whatever that may be.
I love this Jumanji best; a boardgame bringing the jungle to us instead of us going to the jungle in a videogame. The boardgame jungle creatures and plants were more terrible. And at least the players learn to fight as themselves instead of as game characters with powers and weaknesses.
Oh, and you should also see Zathura. According to the books, that was supposed to be the sequel... but not in the jungle!
Jumanji is based on a children's book and the book has a sequel/spin off called Zathura which was also adapted into a movie. It's really good and I remember being creeped out by it as a kid. You should definitely check it out!
+Davionne A. Zathura is such an underrated classic!!
Loved zathura as a kid
Do the books mention who made the games or why I always wondered that
so glad that you got to this movie. i have a theory as to why only certain people can hear the drums of the game, it is because they are themselves lost and are looking for a way to escape.
That Honestly makes so much sense.
It provides an escape but in the end its teaching you to appreciate what you have right now and whats in front of you. But in a deadly way.
I like to add to your theory that only people who can hear it want to escape but are also able capable of surviving the game can hear it.
Because a lot of people want to escape but would die very quickly playing Jumanji.
@@shadowphoenix1696 there might have been a few players that never made it, and we just never heard about them.
but then again, judy was dying when allen won the game. so i guess you could still win by default if you were the last surviving player.
just some more things to think about....
@benmurphy9956 yeah it is.
The way i was thinking is the game inows you can survive its deadly results but also knows that you need others capable of enduring the game to ultimately survive wether or not if it needs a time reset or not.
The two kids didnt need the life lesson, Allen and sara did, Judy and Peter just needed there parent's.
I watched this as a child and it’s definitely more emotional watching it as an adult. I missed the whole point of the movie involving Alan and his father. Such a touching movie while also being a great adventure with so much heart and comedy
“Arrest his butt!” LOL 🤣🤣🤣
I love this movie, the animated parts may not hold up well but the story and entertainment so make up for it. 😄 It’s weird how it actually worked to their benefit that they played the game.
It did!
In this movie it's very scary when all of the animals and the hunter come out of the game, when ever someone plays the game. But the one thing that is very scary about the game is the scary drums playing from the game itself.
When I 1st watched the movie I thought it was a heartbeat and it was even more creepy.When Alan mentioned drums I was so confused...I was like:"Wait..what is he talking about?What drums?@.@"then I connected the dots and:"Ooohhh...that sound were DRUMS?!?:-O ...How disappointing.é.è A heartbeat would've been more cool!😅🤩"Anyway what I love about"Jumanji"is that the Game really feels like another character...the real Villain is not Van Pelt:it's the Game itself!!🤯
What a ride this was~!! When Alan started to get sucked into the game, it scared me the most as a kid.
And the way the CGI aged almost three decades later makes it creepier. It looks like he was dissolving.
Do give Zathura a watch, if you like stuff like this!
I have always wondered about the time travel, but amusingly never considered that with Alan and Sarah. I always wanted to know what Judy and Peter experienced - if they even remembered anything at all. It's always been my hang-up with this movie, though I still adore it!
When the game ends everything gets reversed, so Alan never gets sent to the jungle (which causes time to reverse, not necessarily real time travel)! Because everything has been reversed there's a new timeline, so Judy and Peter wouldn't be able to remember any of it because it never happened for them. Hope that helps everything make more sense!
Hmmm... depends. In Welcome to the Jungle, the one character who was trapped in the game for years got sent back to his time while the other characters came back to their present time with all the memories. Since this film ends in December, a couple months before Judy and Peter's parents were to pass away, I suspect if we'd kept watching, there would be a moment when all those memories come back and they realize that time has reset. Imagine them talking with Allan and Sarah later in a moment of "we have just remembered everything."
Also Judy reads the rule; "Adventurers beware, do not begin unless you intend to finish." Meaning that the moment Sarah rolled the dice, the universe split off from the main one, where all events of the game would be experienced by the world, but only remembered as having happened by those who played it.
@@22Tesla That's what I think too. Judy and Peter would remember everything a few months after the ending.
Plus, I could be wrong, but I think I heard rumors about Kirsten Dunst coming back for the sequel to _The Next Level,_ so they'd have to have her remember playing the game.
Its totally fine to watch movies you havent seen in a while! Cant wait to see your reaction!
Edit: I was right, loved your reaction!
R.I.P. Robin Williams
😭😭😭😭😭
Just dropping in to say, that my dad is the leather artist who made Soulman's apron, the Hunter's elephant gun holster and strap, and a few other leather items in the movie. Always thought that was pretty cool when I was little. I miss Robin 🖤
I had the Jumamji game. It was great. The messages were cards decoded by a red filter. It was super fun, as a kid. I can't remember much more than that, the board, the pieces, and the "5 or 8" card really sucked, cause you couldn't move your piece unless you rolled either number. 😂
Edit: also, Bonnie Hunt had a morning talk show for a while, and i loved it. She is a FUNNY lady. And she always included her staff and crew in most of the episodes.
Now that you've seen Jumanji, you have to see Zathura. It's basically Jumanji but with space theme instead of the jungle
You'd love the original Wizard of Oz, Justin! It's always been one of my favorites and it definitely seems like something you'd be super into.
I would also recommend Zathura. It’s pretty much the same premise as this movie. Kids play a game and the game pretty much comes to life around them. It also takes place in space which is kind of cool.
It's technically the first sequel to jumanji. The book is a direct sequel but the movie took out the connection the jumanji. Plus when Jack black was filming "The next Level" he even refer to that current movie as "jumanji 4"
Yes please do the other jumanji movies too!!!
Watching stuff you saw as a kid is a great idea, call them "Nostolgia" reactions ! I love seeing stuff i watched as a kid because we do see it differently. Looking forward to your new stuff!
2:53 Some would argue that violence is not the answer to bullying but in my case it was. When I got bullied as a child, they only stopped when I finally fought back. Telling adults would only make make them do it more discreetly. When I fought back, I did not overpower them, but at least they don't go out laughing or looking cool either. Even if I didn't win, at least I made sure they'd have some cuts and bruises, and look gross with dirt, spit and trash.
Oh yeah, if there is physical bullying going on, that is the ONLY answer
I love this movie also if you didn't realized the actor who played the dad also was the Bounty Hunter
He did realize, one of the few reactors that I've seen catch that detail
tbh you'r the 2nd person figuring on screen the hunter was the same actor as the father..
and robin williams character as a kid had to run from things.. especialy from he's dad..
when the hunuter was summond the game told him he'll need to run like a child..
it's the full perfect circle jumanji just made
Fun fact Tom Hanks was the first choice to play Alan but he turned down the role because of Apollo 13
That's kinda neat that his son is in the sequels
Normally, when an actor is firmly established as a certain character for me, I can't imagine anyone else portraying said character. I can definitely see Tom Hanks having been great in the role of Alan, though!
Even Arnold Schwarzenegger was considered.
Aw you're such a sweetieeeee 🥰😍So much empathy and compassion ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
My favourite reaction channel as your emotions are genuine
27:30 the joke was pretty relevant then, too, sad to say. There was a string of postal employees becoming violent and even killing people, hence why he asked the man if he was a postal worker. Also where the phrase "going postal" comes from.
as a kid i never realized that symbolism of the hunter being his father
Actually the joke about the postal worker is actually because in the late 80’s there was a slew of postal workers that just went crazy and shot up a bunch of coworkers. That’s where the phrase “going postal” comes from. I remember my mom hating that phrase bc she worked for the post office. But yeah that was a thing back then.
Such a good one.
Jumanji is one of my favorite films from my childhood
This film still holds up today, its my fave. I'm glad the new movies didnt try to redo this but went their own way, worked so much better than I thought it would. This one always holds a special place in my heart!
11:16 - a few Xmases ago i was walking in walmart...... I heard drums, jumped yelped and bumped into somebody elses cart - there was a pallet of the things...... I noped out of walmart as fast as i could without looking like an insane 28 year old.
22:22 technically Sarah couldn't have saved him from the jungle. She would have had only one turn to roll and 5 or 8, and then she would have had to wait for Alan's turn. And since he was in the jungle, that wasn't gonna happen, so the game was stuck.
It would skip him
@@josephg.1.130 that's never established as one of the rules, so no lol
@@BoxOKittens
1. You clearly never read the book
2. That is a rule in literally EVERY board game that has something where a player is in jail or in this case, a jungle.
@@josephg.1.130 again, it's never mentioned in the movie. stop trying so hard and chill, friend.
I just started watching your movie reaction TH-cam videos and I first gotta say; I love that you show your true emotions!! Tearing up and crying! And 2nd; I’ll always love Robin Williams!! Okay…I’m gonna continue the video now.
Omg!! You have a great laugh!! Ahahaha!!
Ugh, when JV cries, it always makes me cry 😭❤
Haha sorry!
I find the CGI to have aged incredibly well!
I think what helps is the why their colors from the lighting match naturally with the surroundings.
Thanks for doing this one JV, it's a favorite Robin Williams one of mine.
Jonique'a Smith:You're so full of emotions.
Fun personal anecdote: A banana tree was growing in my neighborhood park when this movie came out. And in a few months, it started to yield fruit...and it looked like a giant yellow pod. Because of this movie, almost all of the kids (myself and my brother included) avoided the park it was in, until it was harvested and cut down.
The end is absolutely wonderful ❤
If you think about it the game itself chooses who plays it based on who needs to learn a lesson. Allen needed to learn run away from your problems doesn't solve anything, Judy had to learn to stop her lying in order to process the loss of her parents, Peter had to open up more. As for Sarah I have no idea
I think for Sarah she needed to be less scared in her life after Allen got sucket into the game she became scared of life she was still in therapie and on medication...
@@marjalap793 But that happened after he got sucked in what did she have to learn when she heard the drum
Judy is played by Kristen Dust, the Sam Ramini's MJ.
To answer your question, yes Jumanji did also get made as a board game for the general public with cards you inserted into the center to read them. Obviously things like the lions and monkeys coming out didn't happen but instead were move ahead, move back or other effects like that. Zathura the pseudo-sequel to this also got a board game of a similar vein.
If you're doing the whole series check out Zathura, the movies were made by different studios but the original books was a direct sequel to Jumanji so it has a lot of the same themes.
I love zathura
Great movie reaction jv
Re: "Who would want to play this game?"
The game itself specifically says that it's for players wishing to seek their current life behind. Alan was trying to run away from several problems in his life, and so were both of the kids emotionally. We can only speculate as to what Sarah was looking for.
Only kids who want to escape their current reality can hear the call of the game.
Yes you should totally watch the new Jumanji. I think it was really clever the way they did it. Also definitely watch Wizard of Oz. It's a classic
Out of the three Jumanji movies, this one is my favorite
In the Army Now is a pretty funny David Alan Grier movie, it stars him and Pauly Shore. To me it's a very underrated film, especially for a Pauly Shore film.
Even though the new Jumanji is very different and I had hard time accepting it, I'd love to see you react to it! It's very comic and I really enjoyed it in the end😂👌
Great movie and great reaction, nice bro ❤️❤️
That stunt Robin Williams did on Bonnie Hunt, it's classic. It's called a hassle. 😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Actually, just like The Prince of Bel Air
The Jumanji Mansion on the inside was all a set just for the movie, and the house front was just that , a front that you only see in a couple scenes ( a beautiful colonial -neoclassical style of the late 1800s and early 1900s)
And well with Bel Air the mansion that we see on the series it's actually a real house in L.A , but again, the interior was just a Set in another location.
Sadly the amazing Parrish Mansion in "New Hampshire" was demolished after the movie , and all the amazing set interior as well. But actually in 2022 , the little wall of stone of the main street for the house, still exist (of course there's another house in the site)
There is an Jumanji board game, the game had some cards that you can't read it until you put it on the crystal on the center of the game
FYI, the "original" original Wizard of Oz was actually a silent film; the one most people know is a remake of that.
Fun fact: the boy that plays Peter, Bradley Pierce, was the voice of Chip in the disney animated film Beauty and the Beast :)
And Tails from adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog
Wizard of Oz is a favorite ❤
You DEFINITELY need to react to the other Jumanjis... I think you will love them
11:15 Yes my parents bought me the board game of Jumanji the box was a wooden exact replica of the movie. I was 10 years old 🙂 I don't remember 20 years ago how we played it 🤔
But one friend stole it from me and didn't bring it back or seen him 😑 I hope he got stuck in a Jungle 😆
25:02 and yes rewatching this as an adult i realised it as well it was the same actor as his father and hunter trying to kill him the whole movie 😄
Best reaction ever man
Wow! Thanks!! Appreciate that
This is one of my favorite movies! It was filmed about 40 minutes from where I live and it’s cool to recognize the backgrounds. Unimportant but people tell me I look like Kirsten Dunst.
Thanks for sharing your experience! I agree that the whole hunter scene is a bit silly compared to the rest of the movie. I’ve never seen the newer Jumanji movies so I can’t judge. I hope you do react to the Wizard of Oz!
Jonique'a Smith:Six! She rolled a six.
Who knew 90s films weren't made for kids they were made for dads, they were the only ones crying in the theater.
You probably don't know this, but there was a cartoon about Jumanji....this time, solving riddles while in the jungle, which is an interesting concept
Grew up watching this movie and love it I don't care about the new ones all that much also rip Robin Williams
There is at least 2 versions of the board game available. Classic and deluxe electronic.
> The earliest surviving version of The Wizard of OZ was made in 1910 and was a silent movie.
> The 1939 version might be the earliest version with sound and color.
> Jumanji franchise includes Jumanji (1995), Zathura: A Space Adventure (2005); Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017), and Jumanji: The Next Level (2019), and an animated television series which aired from 1996 to 1999.
> David Alan Grier movies, some are dated - I'm Gonna Git You Sucka (1988); Blankman (1994); In the Army Now (1994); Goldilocks and the Three Bears (1995); Tales from the Hood (1995), McHale's Navy (1997) and many more.
The Original Wizard of OZ is very scary
You seem to favor animated movies so I wonder if you'd be interested in trying the animated "The Hobbit" (1977) and possibly the animated "The Lord of the Rings" (1978) and the animated "The Return of the King" (1980). The Lord of the Rings movie is both The Fellowship of the Rings and The Two Towers together.
Oooh yes! I’ve been wanting people to react to the animated lotr movies. I remember watching the Ralph Bakshi version with the shadow animation. Good stuff
Glad you enjoyed this film! Can’t wait to see more of Jumanji and Hook! To answer your question, there is a board game identical to the film version, but it has decoder to read the catastrophes and two dice, one for moves, another for tools to get out of the catastrophe. I’d like to recommend the film Zathura, which is set in the same universe as Jumanji in the book. It has a similar plot but in outer space. It stars Joshua Hutchinson, Jonah Bobo, Dax Shepard, and Kristen Stewart.
🎲🥁💚🤎
Jonique'a Smith:I told you.
Yes, there are real-world adaptations of the board game, three different versions in fact. There's the Milton Bradley version which is the first version ever made, there's the more recent Spin Master version which looks a lot more fun, and finally the Noble Collection version which is the only version to be an exact replica of the movie prop and as you can imagine is the most expensive.
My dad always laughed at the cops reactions and screaming.
Yes watch the wizard of oz!! A truly timeless film
If you react to the wizard of Oz the original make sure you look into it they mistreated the girl who played as Dorothy and so much more
I saw they have the game at indigo but not sure how it would work, the wizard of oz is a classic and for some reason it was always on tv at thanksgiving so I remember watching it every year, I hope u also react to Harry and the Henderson’s, even if u have seen it before, ur so right about watching movies before and after having kids it is so different
There is a really good film called Frequency with Dennis Quaid and Jim C. and it has to do with time travel in a way through a ham radio and they bring up some of the investment ideas you are speaking about
The reason he didn't die in the jungle was simple. He wasn't supposed to. He was to Wait. So he has to witness all that goes on in the jungle without it actually hunting him. Though as a kid he had no clue he wasn't in danger because he had to Wait. Not die.
If you do watch Wizard of Oz, a movie to watch after is one called "Tin Man" it's a movie the Syfy channel made that sort of a "sequel" to it.
You have to do Zathura!! It’s just like this movie and just as good.
It was released in 2005
You should watch Zathura: A Space Adventure. Its Jumanji in space.
19:37 I shave 🪒 my face every single day. Anyway, this is my favorite Robin Williams movie.
I was a victim of bullying myself as a kid and telling another kid going through it to kick the hell out of them to solve all their problems is not the best advice to give them at all. If they do, it means they're just like them and that's even worse. They've got to be the bigger person and sort it all out without any violence. My advice is; tell your parents, tell your teachers, get it sorted. Don't be worried if you report them, they get in trouble for it and they come back to get you for revenge, if that happens then report them again. Don't let them get away with anything
Technically Sarah couldn't have finished the game as the game forced you to take turns. Her turn was next of course, but after that she would have needed Alan to roll again. :)
wait which part are you referencing? Alan did go last when they were kids, meaning that Sarah needed to go next before Alan could roll again. Edit: wait nevermind I see what you were getting at lol
Actually it's a pretty common thing to know that if somebody is in some sort of jail or time out in a game then their turn gets skipped. Being that she was the only other player she would have just kept rolling until she rolled a five or eight and then he would have been back in the game
@@Jbr2005 But since that's never a rule in Jumanji, then it's pure speculation on your part to assume that's a rule. In fact we see all of the rules written out and that's not included, even though the game specified that rolling a 'double' means you get an extra turn.
Hope you watch Zathura before you tackle the sequels with The Rock and Kevin Hart. Zarthura is technically jumanji 2.
please just this one
Lmao you said “mashed up” Caribbean background?
Both my parents are Jamaican
Both my parents are also Jamaican!! lol
@@JVsGalacticAdventures 🤣They are from St James in Montego Bay
HAHAHA WHEN VAN PELT GOES TO BUY THE GUN, THEY HAD THE MEXICAN ANTHEM PLAYING...
that had a board game of jumanji but it wasnt identical. i did see a video of someone making the exact game tho
You gotta do Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Bebe's Kids and James and the Giant Peach!! Funny classics that must be done !!!😃🥹
Same actor play dad and hunter
This movie is great !! I have the game…
Those sequels are all about the tech.
I hate the practice contact producers phoning it in because they treat media history as a basis for taking even a potential audience for granted.
Jonique'a Smith:Sarah. Sarah Whittle.
Theu really could've sequeled this more over time with different actors, and different outcomes. Even though jumanji is based on african jungles, it could use south american, various asian, and other jungles modern or even prehistoric. And since its more about the game, this premis could be almost never ending. In theory at least.
Idk why but I kinda wanna see you react to the Pipi Longstocking live action movie
Have you ever seen The Indian in the Cupboard? Another good one :)
My only questions about jumanji and zathura is who created the games, if they're actively trying to kill people or thought the game was more fun this way
Also what happens if a player dies is the game impossible to finish or does the game continue without them
