“Sarah, come on. My dad did that? My father could barely hug me. Let alone cut me into little pieces.” That’s such a funny albeit messed up line about his family life.
@@randycrawford1132 that's because the actor who played Alan's dad was the same actor who played Van Pelt. That was done deliberately as a parallel to Alan's family life, Alan was scared of his father, and in the jungle he was scared of Van Pelt.
In hindsight, this was a pretty fucked up film. Alan spent his life growing up in a jungle, his a parents faced accusations of murder, Sara spent her life in therapy... That's some dark shit
80s-90s childrens don't need to be as pampered as now, i grew watching adult horror movies, they took away some nights of sleep... but none long-term trauma.
@@Nastywizard What's weird is that it's the 80's-90's children that are doing all the pampering... Like everyone blamed millennials for participation trophies, even though it was the parents that demanded them...
@@squallstopher608 The source material itself was somewhat dark and in black and white. it was a book before it ever became a movie. Which is typical of any writing from a single fantasy author (Chris Van Allsburg). A lot of stories were fairy tails or books before they ever became a movie and they were definitely dark. If we’re thinking in terms of the early 2000s then the Harry Potter books are a major dark fantasy world intended for kids that came out more recently. It also helps movies made back in the 80’s and 90’s that they really did not have Hollywood ‘think tanks’ or massive writing sessions like they do now. It was usually the novelist and just a few writers creating the screenplay (Ghostbusters 1984 being a very good example of a screenplay with great writing NOT based on a book). So many movies nowadays I see are ignoring the source material that made them popular to begin with and have too much input to where the end result is just convoluted and confusing, especially to kids. I mean, to me, really great writing comes from a focused vision, you water it down too much (as with beverages) it becomes tasteless and unsatisfying. You want the characters to go through a tough ordeal, cause it makes you feel more connected to them, to be relatable, as if you could have the courage to go through the same experience and not lose yourself along the way. It really encompassed you in that world much like a book would. Switching gears to the effects of that movie, a lot of Jumanji was CGI, which in my opinion, made it more comical than anything. Going back to your point though, yeah it’s dark, but I’d say that’s just a few of the undertone aspects of the writing and not the whole scope of how the movie was presented to audiences. No one would have gone to see it if was just dark AND depressing.
Um I don't know. Maybe someone is going to keep playing the game for the entire 2020's decade. Maybe by 2030 it could be finished, but for right now I don't know.
I love how they basically just kidnap her and trick her into playing instead of waiting for her to wake up and come to terms with everything. It’s like: “we’re in a hurry, she’ll understand.... eventually”
I know you’re traumatised and filled with PTSD and paranoia……if you don’t play the world ends. So sorry but your fears are not a priority. Kinda cold hearted but i get that logic
Also it seems her mental problems partly rise from her denial of what she saw in 1969. Years trying to convince herself it wasn’t real, when it was and she realises this it could actually help her mental state because she knows she’s not delusional.
Even years after his death, it still hurts me knowing that he’s gone. Robin Williams was a major part of my childhood. When I felt down or depressed, I’d watch his movies and this one was my favorite. RIP to one of the greatest comedians of all time.
Sarah: (sees the game and freaks out) WHOA, GOD! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! Alan, I've spent 26 years in therapy, kept telling myself that that doesn't exist! And what happened to you was awful that I made up that story of you being killed by your father. But am I going crazy?!
Your not the only person who wishes that. This man was my favorite person in the whole world and consisted of my entire childhood he could always make me smile and feel emotions that I didn’t know how I had yet
is it wrong that my brain immediately inserts that part from the Santa clause where Tim Allen answers his kids same statement with a "did not!" after they watched santa fall...
@@TheStapleGunKid No, she has 26 years of therapy telling her that what she saw was wrong and was nothing more than a defense mechanism to cope with what the authority think happen. 26 years of being told that the father kill the son and she witnessed everything but her mind chooses to believe that a supernatural board game took the son away.
That whole line read is beautiful and great acting. He slowly realizes he has to play and how terrifying and devastating that is since he finally was able to come back home.
I love how serious they take this movie. There is a Gravitas to this movie that I enjoy. Dont get me wrong, I had fun watching the new Jumanji movie but the fear they create in this movie is amazing.
It seemed to be a thing in all movies from the 80s early 90s, they didnt spare some horror/adult/weird stuff to teens, i mean, for me the et Alien was Nightmare fuel
You can see it in a lot of new movies, Marvel especially. I think Hollywoods kind of forgotten how to balance humor and drama and tension and comic relief. They had it down in the 90s.
I love that moment in 2:42 where you can just see Alan's eyes shine brightly when he realises the woman he's speaking to is Sarah. Its those little acting moments that show how amazing of an actor Robin WIlliams was.
I LOVE that the game doesn't react to the kids rolling out of turn. It knows their intentions. It knows they aren't cheating. Pair that with the cheating later and it adds such an intelligence and menace to the game.
@@elijahwalker2623I consider the game to be petty as hell. Is not enough to bring literal horrors to reality, but it also always adds a twist that makes it extra petty. - Oh you’re gonna get stucked in the jungle? Well now there is gonna be a hunter who is after you that looks just like your dad and is a representation of your arc about manhood in this movie. - Oh you have a storm in doors? Lets add 2 huge crocodiles for no reason at all. - You now rolled and have a pum with 8 “helping hands”. I know just the thing, Huge spiders! The game is conscious, and it also has a pretty fucked up sense of humour
@@patrickgogan3517 Well, 26 years of living in the deeper darkest jungle can cause a lot of stress, which can in turn age someone pretty badly, Alan being older than he looks is pretty believable.
"I knew she still wouldn't live here. Probably married Billy Jessup and they're living in a trailer park." I freaking love that line! Lol but it is sad that the bully never received a comeuppance in the movie.
I would've loved to have seen Alan get payback on Jesse, also when Alan mentioned to it to Sarah later in the Movie she completely forgot about him. I guess 26 years of being called a Nutjob can make you forget about certain People. !!!
@@ryderbenson8472 Yeah I remember that. They talked about him briefly. She referred to him as "the little kid that always used to steal your bicycle" during their argument
I really wish I could have listened to what else they were arguing about. The camera was focused on Judy and Peter during that scene. I just remember hearing something about the movies and that was it.
Billy Jessup's comeuppance was the fact that nobody remembered him, excluding Alan. Who comes to realize that Billy wasn't even that big a deal in the first place. And just like everyone else, Alan would eventually forget about him. This is probably a more effective form of overcoming your fears than most others, since Jessup was just a jerk of a kid, who deserved nothing more than to be forgotten about. You shouldn't be afraid of someone, who in the long term, doesn't really matter.
"You're playing the game I started in 1969. I'm gonna have to play." That line said by Alan realizing that he has to finish what he started combined with James Horner's music really gives you chills.
The writing and tone here is incredible. It's not just set-up, punchline, set-up, punchline, snarky barb, etc. like in so many modern family adventure/fantasy movies. The slow burn as Alan and the kids figure out that they're still playing the original round now with four players is great exposition, clear enough that even children watching can follow it but also conveying the weight and dread and of the situation. Great acting from all four of them here, great material, great direction.
For it's time, it was a very dark movie. Always scared the ..it out of me, even today. Robin and the rest of the cast had perfect chemistry, yet even in its darkness they deeply cared for one another. The scene at the end when Alan apologizes to his father always gets me teary eyed, excellent movie even after 30+ years.
I love Sarah's reactions! So expressive. I also love her rolls in the game, she had the most interesting ones. The vines, the monsoon, the earthquake as some.
"26 years ago, we started playing a little game. And now we're all gonna sit down and finish it. And guess what! It's your turn." That line is so fucking creepy. I love it.
I miss Robin so much. It is a bittersweet gratitude that he is free from the pain his illness gave him, but so few people have brought so much joy and so much beauty to this world. Rest in peace, Robin Williams. You are deeply and sorrowfully missed. Time to watch all his movies again
I feel honored to have this movie being apart of my childhood and my appreciation for Robin William's and all his other films over time. We struck gold with robin he could pull any emotion from different characters in a phenomenal way we wont see for a long time to come. R.i.p. robin Williams
She's so eye catchy there. It was also a nice contrast to have a calmer character to fullfill the mission since the adults went into a lot of trauma facing this game.
I love that with Allan back the players now have intimate knowledge of the creatures in the game since he spent over 20 years in the jungle fighting these things day and night
5:19 He’s got the best, nicest, warmest smile, and the most beautiful, sparkliest, kindest eyes of any actor I’ve seen. Great actor, comedian, and human being. One of my favorite actors of all time. Love him and his movies. Such a legend. RIP Robin Williams.
3:29 Peter saying, "You killed her." 😂😂 So funny. And the part where they carry Sarah back to the house is funny as well. I guess she hit the ground harder than the shock of seeing Alan back.
imagine them doing jumanji justice when they went to Jumanji and had a callback of a wild boy on the island (thus) having Alan have a cameo of his time spent there
That would’ve been so much more epic better film than the video game. Dont get me wrong the new one is funny and good but I don’teven associate the two, to me they are not even the same story. This was classic. Great film. Williams great actor so much charisma on screen
If I remember correctly the new Jumanji actually does have an easter egg of a sort. The "pilot" that was stuck in the game for many years before the main cast mentions, when asked about the place he was staying in, that he found the shelter from someone who previously was there. This was purely from memory and I could have it all wrong and will go look it up if I can later, but I'm 80% sure it's right.
Alan: Play the game, Sarah. Sarah: Oh, no, no, no, no… Alan: All right. Just give me the dice and you can go home. You don’t have to play. Sarah: (Sighs!) Thank you, Alan. (Sarah drops the dice on Alan’s hand, he moves his hand out the way and the dice fall on the board game. Alan giggles and Sarah feels terrified.) Sarah: Oh my God! How could you do that?! Alan: It’s the law of the jungle, Sarah, you’ll get used to it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
when I was a kid and I watched this, I had chills when he said “26 years ago, you played a game with a little boy down the street? A game with drums?". now, as an adult, knowing the irony of everything, I laugh hysterically.
I saw this movie the day it came out in theatres, the 90's were truly something special and I loved this movie. The re-make was 100% garbage, this movie was always the better version of Jumanji.
Oh the memories I get watching this scene. Got this VHS as christmas present in 1995 and I've loved it since then. One of the best movies ever. Those new movies don't even deserve the name Jumanji. IMO there can be only one.
The point probably was not too many people believe in psychics so not a lot (if any) people came to see her so she could be left alone. That being said how she could then afford the house I have no idea but hey movie logic.
I give Robin Williams some Credit here..... I know him more from Comedies but here I see him taking on a More Serious Role! it's just a Shame we're living in a World without him RIP One of the Greatest Comedians of all Time!
Oh man, any time I see Robin Williams, I get sad. Not only was he a master at his craft, and a world-class entertainer, but he was also just a kind, gentle, warm person. The world is brighter for having had him in it.
Spider-Man series, Pokemon, Animaniacs, Lion King, Toy Story, Aladdin, Jurassic Park, Dumb & Dumber, Jumanji, Braveheart... 90s were a magical time to be a child.
“26 years ago, you played a game with a little boy down the street, a game with drums” chills every time.
It would be 2021 if they did it 26 years like they did theis movie
Twoth
Every time he says "a game with drums" I always hear the drums.

Are you kidding me! That was one of the funniest scenes in the movie. There’s not one Robin Williams movie out there that gives people chills.
“Sarah, come on. My dad did that? My father could barely hug me. Let alone cut me into little pieces.” That’s such a funny albeit messed up line about his family life.
What is more messed up is that Sarah thinks that the father killing him and cutting him into pieces is much better than what actually happened.
Yet his dad looks like Van Pelt
Explains how distant his father seems to have been during his childhood life.
for some reason, I find it touching

still a kid at heart
That laugh was great, I had to rewind it a few times till I stopped laughing. Even after that it’s still pretty funny.
And remember, it's the law of the jungle....
I just love her reaction as soon as she sees alan opens up the board game she immediately just freaks the hell out lol
Seeing the board game definitely triggered her PTSD. Poor Sarah and Alan, that game messed up their lives
That game fucked up her life for years, it’s sort of justified that she’s scared of the board
PTSD.
Seeing Alan disappear like that, and be called crazy/insane for the next 26 years.
Alan felt the same way. Surviving a mad hunter, self growing plants and all other manner of horrors in that jungle world for 26 years
You'd have issues too if your friend got turned to dust in front of you and sucked into a board game.
That moment you realize this movie is 26 years old...

I feel honored to have this movie being apart of my childhood and my appreciation for Robin William's and all his other films over time. We struck gold with robin he could pull any emotion from different characters in a phenomenal way we wont see for a long time to come. R.i.p. robin Williams
“When I think of all the energy I spent visualizing you as a radiant spirit.”
Lmaoo awe poor Sarah. Bonnie Hunt is amazing
The way she freaks out looking at the game is priceless 😂
This film somehow managed to be scary, funny, and kind of haunting all at the same time.
Also emotional.
Genius actor. Gone but not forgotten.
Idk but the fact the video is a bit longer made forget I wasn’t watching the movie and now I have to go finish it
damn youtube...
You have to finish what you started
@@cris-yo1950 👍
Hahah, same, dang it!
Darn it..not you too
3:29 Kirsten Dunst looks like she's trying to swallow a laugh after "you killed her"
"I remember the porch being alot bigger tho"....
that's freaking so relatable, when your childhood is so vivid you don't notice yourself growing up
also makes me laugh because that porch is like 80ft wide by 10ft deep
Amen. I visited my childhood home recently and I definitely remembered it being much bigger
Sarah's reaction to seeing Alan for the first time in 26 years is priceless.
5:25 That smirk on Peter face I loved it
I Remember Watching It In The School😁😆😂Library.......5:19,5:20
peter, peter paker
Still the best Jumanji 😅 gosh I sure do miss Robin Williams 😢 May God Rest his soul 🙏🏾
I'm not here to hate the new reboot. I'm just here because it's weirdly cute to see young Kirsten Dunst.
It's kind of a sequel/reboot, since they do make a bit of reference to this movie.
Nonce
hahaha she’s so cute
you like lolis don't you? 🤨
@@TimedRevolver 👍
This movie was SO MUCH better than the REmake.
I agree
Lord Humungus It's not a remake. It was a stand-alone sequel. I don't understand how people don't get that...
Well yeah but the new ones are good in their own way too.
The new ones are absolutely remakes because if it was a sequal then where is the boardgame? Lol
It was a sequel. Not a remake. There's even references to the original film in the sequel.
The cast really elevated this film, especially Robin Williams who was such a brilliant actor. He really made his character multidimensional
5:03 when he pushes her hand it always makes me giggle
Good lord this movie will always be one of my most all time favorites. This scene brings back so much nostalgia
Kirsten is so damn adorable with those little pigtails. She was a phenomenal little actress.
Agree
❤❤❤
@@deannamarin318same
She's so eye catchy there. It was also a nice contrast to have a calmer character to fullfill the mission since the adults went into a lot of trauma facing this game.
I love that with Allan back the players now have intimate knowledge of the creatures in the game since he spent over 20 years in the jungle fighting these things day and night
Yeah I loved that too. Alan and his experience was vital. Without him, they all probably wouldn't have survived.
5:19
He’s got the best, nicest, warmest smile, and the most beautiful, sparkliest, kindest eyes of any actor I’ve seen. Great actor, comedian, and human being. One of my favorite actors of all time. Love him and his movies. Such a legend. RIP Robin Williams.
the monsoon scene was epic growing up like many other scenes
Monsooooooon in your Lagoooooon
Great film. Grew up to it too.
2:58
Am I the only one who finds it so funny when Alan’s face is getting nearer to the screen?
I will always cherish the loving memories of Robin Williams. R.I.P.
3:29 Peter saying, "You killed her." 😂😂 So funny. And the part where they carry Sarah back to the house is funny as well. I guess she hit the ground harder than the shock of seeing Alan back.
"Oh it is. Stay away from the walls, don't touch anything. No quick movements."
Don’t touch the purple ones, they shoot poisonous barbs
And definitely stay away from the pods, the big yellow ones.
@@PatrickDoran2319 what big yellow ones?
imagine them doing jumanji justice when they went to Jumanji and had a callback of a wild boy on the island (thus) having Alan have a cameo of his time spent there
That would’ve been so much more epic better film than the video game. Dont get me wrong the new one is funny and good but I don’teven associate the two, to me they are not even the same story.
This was classic. Great film. Williams great actor so much charisma on screen
If I remember correctly the new Jumanji actually does have an easter egg of a sort. The "pilot" that was stuck in the game for many years before the main cast mentions, when asked about the place he was staying in, that he found the shelter from someone who previously was there.
This was purely from memory and I could have it all wrong and will go look it up if I can later, but I'm 80% sure it's right.
@@valonquinn4863 i remember that line to but they could have done so much more
@@valonquinn4863 you are right. The shelter was from Alan.
@@chrismccaffrey8256 if I remember right, there was an "Alan (A.P.?) was here" scratched onto it.
I love the mischievousness in Alan's voice when he pulls out the game and says "while we're waiting"
4:04
when sarah flips out , to see adults act like this must freak the kids out.
2,000 hours of therapy and three therapist....
She kept biting them.... Ok, that didn't happen but I couldn't resist referencing Doctor Who.
Alan: Play the game, Sarah.
Sarah: Oh, no, no, no, no…
Alan: All right. Just give me the dice and you can go home. You don’t have to play.
Sarah: (Sighs!) Thank you, Alan.
(Sarah drops the dice on Alan’s hand, he moves his hand out the way and the dice fall on the board game. Alan giggles and Sarah feels terrified.)
Sarah: Oh my God! How could you do that?!
Alan: It’s the law of the jungle, Sarah, you’ll get used to it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
3:36 I still find it funny that Alan just slung Sarah over his shoulder and walked down the street.
Love all of Robin Williams performances. ever since his passing, can't help but feel a bit hurt that he's not around anymore.
"I was THAT little boy"
Alan… *faints*
Why I love this scene so much. It's one of my favourite movie moments, ever. There's something deep and touching about it.
The actors portrayed so much emotion. Wonderful
The one where Genie, Sally Carrera, Kiki, and Chip play an enchanted board game...
when I was a kid and I watched this, I had chills when he said “26 years ago, you played a game with a little boy down the street? A game with drums?". now, as an adult, knowing the irony of everything, I laugh hysterically.
I saw this movie the day it came out in theatres, the 90's were truly something special and I loved this movie. The re-make was 100% garbage, this movie was always the better version of Jumanji.
i agree entirely!!!
Bruh the remake was amazing too chill out lmao
@@javeer1599 : it was ok, not as good as the classic tho
@@javeer1599 no the remake was shit compared to the original.
@boi mac : well, it was Jumanji 2 and 3
Oh the memories I get watching this scene. Got this VHS as christmas present in 1995 and I've loved it since then. One of the best movies ever. Those new movies don't even deserve the name Jumanji. IMO there can be only one.
Agreed
"Jumanji" and "Hook" were two of my favourite childhood films, RIP Robin Williams. A truly talented actor.
That "WOAH!" when they show her the game always made me laugh.
2:13 Apparently, “Madam Serena” is not a very good psychic, she didn’t even know them three were coming.
She didn’t look in the crystal ball
The point probably was not too many people believe in psychics so not a lot (if any) people came to see her so she could be left alone. That being said how she could then afford the house I have no idea but hey movie logic.
@@robertcliff3197 it’s her parents house, Alan says he used to hangout there. It was probably already paid off.
Maybe she had an idea that something was going to happen that day, and that was part of why she didn't open the door very far.
"You killed her." BEST line he had in the whole movie!!
One of the best movies ever during my childhood
"When I think all the energy I spend visualizing you as a radiant spirit." 😂😂😂
“You killed her”
Love that quote so much
“26 years ago, you played a game with a little boy down the street, a game with drums” Law & Order sting.
Personally, i think the board game Jumanji is far better than the video game remake.
I give Robin Williams some Credit here..... I know him more from Comedies but here I see him taking on a More Serious Role! it's just a Shame we're living in a World without him RIP One of the Greatest Comedians of all Time!
Oh man, any time I see Robin Williams, I get sad. Not only was he a master at his craft, and a world-class entertainer, but he was also just a kind, gentle, warm person. The world is brighter for having had him in it.
Oh, her reaction when she sees the game again always makes me laugh!
It's hard to accept one of your favorite actors as passed and you never got the chance to meet him in person
I never watched Aladdin before when I was very little so this was my first Robin Williams movie 😍 R.I.P Robin Williams for being my childhood
I never see this movie remake. This was masterpiece when i was kid.
Spider-Man series, Pokemon, Animaniacs, Lion King, Toy Story, Aladdin, Jurassic Park, Dumb & Dumber, Jumanji, Braveheart... 90s were a magical time to be a child.
4:06 When you see a spider.
I feel personally attacked.
5:19 his laugh 😂😂😂😂
The dice! I can't believe you fell for the oldest trick in the book! What a goof! What's with you, girl? Come on! 😂😂
amazing casting. great performances by Bonnie Hunt, Kirsten Dunst and the late Robin Williams.
