	Jumanji the Lion
		The facility where he had been staying wanted him removed, because Jumanji was reaching maturity and they were afraid that he would become dangerous and that Zed who had raised him and wanted to train him would get injured or killed and they did not want the liability.
		Each day Jumanji would watch and listen for the ATV that Zed used to ride when he fed. Each day he became more depressed as he realized that his owner was not there.
		The facility to house Jumanji, and give him the room that he needs to run, since he has to have his very own, will cost about $18,000.00 We know that once people are made aware of EARS and see how well and spacious the animals live here, donations will help us complete Jumanji's space.

		The first and last sections of Jumanji are the sorriest excuses for set-up and resolution I've ever seen in a produced script.
		Jumanji is based on a brisk, haunting children's book (by Chris Van Allsberg) whose premise was storybook simple: What if some kids playing a mysterious board game unleashed hordes of wild animals?
		No, it has to invent a backstory concerning a dejected little boy, ignored by his cold father and bullied at school, who gets sucked into Jumanji back in 1969 and pops out 26 years later as Robin Williams -- who still has a daddy complex despite surviving in the jungle for decades.

	Jumanji (1995) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Two kids(Kirsten Dunst and Bradley Pierce) move into a big house and find a board game named "Jumanji." They release a crazed man(Robin Williams) that was trapped in the game for over 30 years, plus a whole bunch of terrors, including a stampede, a lion, and a hunter(Jonathan Hyde).
		"Jumanji" isn't one of the best family movies out there, but if you're just looking for a good time, you should definitely watch this.
		I liked "Jumanji." It isn't great, but it is a funny, good film that is something you can watch if you're looking just for a fun night in.

	BBC - Films - review - Jumanji
		Joe Johnston's background in visual effects served him well with this light-hearted romp, in which the laws of the jungle and the rules of a board game come into frenzied contact.
		When a mysterious game - "Jumanji" - is unearthed on a construction site, 12-year-old Alan Parrish (Adam Hann-Byrd) can't wait to start playing it with his schoolfriend Sarah Whittle (Laura Bundy).
		For Williams, however, "Jumanji" signalled the start of a cycle of family-oriented films in which the anarchic edge of old was supplanted by gruesome sentimentality.

	Teacher's Guide for Jumanji by Chris Van Allsburg
		Children can be asked to think about the "big ideas" in the book (for example, always read the instructions, finish what you start, persevere in the face of adversity, and enjoy a simple life) and to collect textual evidence for their theories.
		In Jumanji, Fritz the dog is a pull toy on the floor in the living room where the children begin playing the game.
		Tell the children that writers usually include a lesson or message in their stories that goes beyond what the words actually say, and that our job as readers is to pay attention to the meaning of the whole story to determine what this message, or "big idea," might be.

		Two young children, Judy (Kirsten Dunst) and Peter (Bradley Pierce), discover the game in an abandoned home and suddenly are greeted by Alan (Robin Williams), an adult who has spent his life trapped inside the game since playing it at age 12.
		Yet, as in Jumanji, our every engagement may promise endless, largely unfathomable repurcussions -- until we have no choice but to participate in horrific situations that we have unwittingly created.

	Filmtracks: Jumanji (James Horner)
		Jumanji: (James Horner) In an attempt to ride the wave of super-popular animal special effects that was caused initially by Jurassic Park, director Joe Johnston brings the board game described in Chris Van Allsburg's children's book to life.
		A problem is evident in Jumanji, however, in the form of Horner's lost elements of charm and magic that were nearly always present in his superior children's works.
		Two sadly underdeveloped themes are introduced in Jumanji, one for the innocence of the Alan Parrish character caught in the game (Robin Williams), and one strictly for the action pieces that strangely resembles one of Gabriel Yared's Troy themes note-for-note.

		After the success of Jurassic Park in 1993, the floodgates opened for digital special effects, and Jumanji is nothing if not a showcase for computer-generated creepiness guaranteed to give young children a nightmare or two.
		Robin Williams plays a man-child who's been trapped in the world of "Jumanji" for 26 years until he's freed by two kids who've discovered the game and released its parade of dangerous horrors.
		Special effects are a little light by today's standards, but thats really limited to the scenes with the lion and the ubiquitous monkeys, everything else comes off in fairly realistic manner even on a large format digital display.

		Really, Jumanji is a much better performed film than one would expect of such an effects-intensive fantasy.
		Emotional moments are handled tastefully and not given overemphasis to tweak a particular response from the audience.
		This was a big-budget deal that went for what should have been state of the art in 1995, but the effects almost always seem fake and unbelievable.

		Jumanji is cardboard Spielberg, a B-movie scrap heap of spare parts lifted from Jurassic Park and Gremlins and Back to the Future.
		Still, if Jumanji is a negligible fairy tale, it reinforces something that was clear the moment the T. rex showed up in Jurassic Park: The new computer-image technology is going to revolutionize fantasy moviemaking.
		When the jungle animals of Jumanji stampede down the town's main street, the synthetic creatures appear to exist in the same spatial universe as cars and stores and trees.

		The first thinks the word Jumanji is a catchphrase created by Craig Kilborn on Sportscenter after a particularly impressive 3-pointer.
		Zathura is a similar idea to Jumanji and based on another book in the same series by Chris Van Allsburg - kids run into problems when a board game pulls them in to a real life action-adventure.
		Having a board game come to life may not be the best idea for you in the real world, but it makes for a fun movie concept, especially if you have Robin Williams to guide you through.
