The simple act of rolling the dice on an old board-game from the loft triggers an amazing adventure for young Judy and Peter as they reactivate a hoard of wild animals and the wild-looking Alan Parrish who was transported to the jungles of Jumanji years ago while playing on the same board...

"...The film unleashes an arsenal of special effects that are dazzling to the eye....In addition to Williams' heartfelt, vulnerable performance, Hunt elicits humor and pathos..." (Variety 1995-12-11 00:00:00). The result is a thrill ride with enough plunges and turns and loop-the-loops to make it worth a spin. (San Francisco Examiner 2011-08-30 16:20:00).
