There's a jungle inside.

Jumanji is a film directed by Joe Johnston and starring Robin Williams. The story begins in 1969, in Brantford, New Hampshire, where Alan Parrish lives, a boy whose parents, Sam and Carol, are wealthy and run Parrish Shoe, the largest company in town. One afternoon, Alan runs away from a group of bullies and takes refuge in his father's shoe factory. There he meets his friend Carl Bentley, who shows him a shoe prototype he designed himself. The boy looks for a place to feel safe from the bullies, and the factory seems to offer one. That refuge is the starting point of the film's opening minutes.

Trivia about Jumanji

To film the scenes in which he gradually turns into a monkey, actor Bradley Pierce spent three and a half hours every day applying prosthetic makeup for two and a half months.
Scarlett Johansson was considered for the role of Judy Shepherd, but the part ultimately went to Kirsten Dunst.
Johnston worried that Williams would not stick to the script because of his reputation for improvising, but the actor shot the scenes as they were written and often filmed duplicate takes in which he could improvise with Bonnie Hunt.
ILM developed two new programs for the film. One, called iSculpt, allowed illustrators to create realistic facial expressions on computer-generated animals.

  • Hey, wait a minute! Where are you going?
  • Carl: [After a monstrous jungle vine takes his car away] FINE! TAKE IT!
