Jumanji (4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital) - 4K + Blu-ray + Digital

Movie arrived in excellent condition. It was always one of my favorites and now my 6 year old has become obsessed!!

I saw this movie for the first time when I was like 9 or 10. I was so into it. I went out and bought the game right after seeing it. It all starts out with a little boy "Alen" is having a tough time. He is poicked on at school, does not have any friends and his parents want him to go to a school in which he does not want to go. Then one day he goes to a place where there is a company doing construction. He hears drums playing. He finds a game called Jumanji. He runs home and hides it. Then his parents leave to do something and him and a girl start playing. Things start to happen as they do. Bugs start flying around and bats start flying. The game comes alive. Then the boy rools something and the game bord tells him "in the jungle you must wait until the dice reads 5 or 8. He is sucked into the game. The girl gets so affraid that she runs out of the house with bats chasing her. Like 20 years go by and a lady and her sisters 2 kids (I think it was her sister) move in. The kids find the game and start playing. One of them rolls a 5 or 8 and the man is set free. He has aged as the time has gone by. He ends up playing the game with them to finish it. But he needs to get the girl whom played with him all those years ago to play as well because it is her turn. She screams when he arrives to ask her and he tricks her into playing. They all play the game and alot of crazy exciting things happen. I can not tell you what happens because that would ruin it for you. Buy this movie. It is well written. Has good acting from people such as Robin Willams, Kirsten Dunst, and Bradley Pierce. It will make you laugh and suck you in just like the game did Alen.

no problems

This was an all-time favorite movie for me so I decided to buy this game for a family Christmas gift. It’s been amazing. We still have it and I love it to pull out on movie nights.

Very enjoyable

There are few children's movies that I particularly enjoyed – I can recount The Borrowers, Labyrinth and The Neverending Story. Jumanji, however takes a new place among children's films – in fact, it may seem that initially, Jumanji is about simplistic story about kids playing a board game. Based on a gorgeous picture book story of the same name by Chris Van Allsberg, this movie takes a beautiful magical adventure and makes it into a thrill ride that defies all natural laws. Time travel, physical transformations, perceptual distortions and multiple universes are just a few of the things that Jumanji toys with. The most evident phenomena is that the characters run in two different and parallel universes, one where Jumanji exists, and the other where it is just a dream. The life of Judy and Peter as orphans exists in a different world from the one where Jumanji doesn't exist – in other words, Jumanji is a catalyst of fate, an evil entity that does not bring about awe as it did in Allsberg's book, but fear. The world that Allen Parrish is doomed to be incarcerated in the jungles of Jumanji is another one, but that period of time is nonexistent in the world he will eventually live in. This is the beauty of the movie; that these characters can only allow their trauma and epiphanies to cross worlds. With each roll of the dice, the characters grow and change. The ending with 'Jumanji' is mark of the end of that universe – everything that the jungle world had yielded, from the colonist-hunter Van Pelt to the roaring stampede and the monkeys had to return, to be sealed into the game and the universe. The game controls life; but it is merciful when played to the end without cheating. The mental agony and pain must have been tremendous for the Parrishes. Presumably, Alan spent his twenty six years in the jungle, but returned to his old self only to again relive his life as if it never happened. The temporal distortion must have presumably had an effect on his parents, although only Sarah seems to notice. (She was playing the game – and only those playing are directly affected, but in the game universe of Judy and Peter we see a problem in the movie's understanding of temporal change) The power of fate in deciding the endgame was critical in the film. It seems that the game was in itself a game of a game; it was all planned out and ready to go. In fact, it also seems that no matter how crazy or perilous the situation is, the characters cannot be killed. Even Van Pelt says at the Sir Sav A Lot that "I am hunting only Alan. I won't kill you, since you didn't roll" He too is bound to the rules of the game, no matter how much of a colonialist he is. The game instills a high level of fear without death, in order for the game to continue, all the characters must be present. So in one way, no one need be scared of anything in the game. Instead, the game builds resilience in the characters. It was natural that in the end the end was initiated by the future; or more appropriately the past. At the end, both Sarah and Alan make up for the trouble they have caused and have a life bond from the experience. The jumping between 1994 and 1964 is a critical aspect where we see that the horrors of the game have allowed Judy and Peter's parents to not die in the ski accident. They are oddly willing to put an end to their vacation when they hardly know the Parrishes… "In the jungle, you must wait, until you roll a five or eight" – Jumanji "Roll a two, roll a four, but never ask for more" – Gautam

I miss good quality movies and I miss Robin Williams. Davin Alan Grier cracks me up

Great movie

Un classique apprécié par toute la famille

4K releases pre-2000'ish are a bit hit and miss in definition quality as many have no doubt found, however, am delighted to say this movie-gem of 1995 is in my view, pretty good on 4K, not perfect, but, far better than the earlier Blu-ray release. The story tells of how a young boy Alan Parish (young Adam Hann-Byrd - older The Legendary talent Robin Williams) running from bullies finds a box buried 100 years ago (1869) by two boys, it's a game called Jumanji. After an argument with his father at home, Alan had decided to run away, however, friend Sarah Whittle (young Laura Bell Bundy - older Bonnie Hunt) brings back his bike the bullies had taken, Alan invites Sarah to play the game he'd found.....the game eerie from the word go, strange sounds and messages, even the pieces move when the dice is rolled....scarily Alan is pulled into the crystal, he's disappeared. Twenty-Six years have passed, Alan's parents had died in a skiing accident, the house is sold, Judy (Kirsten Dunst) and Peter (Bradley Pierce) move in with their Aunt. Very soon they hear drum-like noises, Judy and Jack investigate, they find Jumanji and decide to play the game, eerily with strange noises and messages creatures begin to come forth from the board, mosquitoes followed by numerous mischievous monkeys, though scared, the game insists that it has to be played until complete when everything will return to normal, the next throw a bearded Alan along with a Lion springs out. Alan, of course, doesn't know what has happened during the years he's been missing presumed dead. Well, Alan realises they need old-friend Sarah to join the game to have any chance of completing it, Sarah all this time on is reluctant with vivid memories of seeing Alan pulled into the game 26 years ago, but does. Well mayhem follows as the Jungle and its creatures come to town (Brantford) Will the four complete the game and send the Jungle and its creatures back to where they come from? This is certainly a fun ride that'll both hold your attention and amuse as the film unfolds. Unlike the newer films where the key-characters are pulled into the Jungle, the Jungle comes to them. For me, the film so much better than what has followed....certainly worth a re-visit or indeed first viewing.....enjoy.

この映画好きです。当時のSFXの最高水準をいってます。シナリオも中々練り込まれていて面白い。ザスーラもUHDで出してください。

Le blu-ray correspond à la description. Très surpris et content d'avoir un doublage en japonais. C'est pas très courant !

Porté à l'écran par Joe Johnston, un ancien de chez Georges Lucas et Spielberg, Jumanji est un film d'aventure à la hauteur d'un Indiana Jones, ou d'un retour vers le futur. 25 ans après, Il n'a pas pris une ride. Le véritable et fabuleux conte fantastique, d'aventure éblouissant, spectaculaire, imaginatif, unique, porté par le talent inimitable de Robin Williams et des autres interprètes. Les débuts prometteurs de la jeune Kirsten Dunst, mignonne et énergique au possible, et l'énergie communicative de tous les protagonistes nous entraînent dans cette folie effrénée qu'est le jeu Jumanji. L'histoire commence en 1869 lorsque deux jeunes garçons enterrent dans une forêt une malle contenant un mystérieux objet qui semble hanté. Le plus grand des deux espère qu'elle ne sera jamais découverte. En 1969, Alan Parrish, jeune garçon âgé d’une dizaine d’années, mène une vie sans histoires auprès de ses parents. Carol, sa mère, est femme au foyer, et son père, Samuel, est un riche industriel ayant fait fortune dans la confection de chaussures, et qui entend bien léguer l’empire familial à son fils. Mais Alan est un garçon timide et peureux, ce qui en fait le véritable souffre-douleur de ses camarades, et en particulier de Billy Jessup, qui ne perd jamais une occasion de ridiculiser son rival. Après avoir été corrigé sévèrement par ce dernier et sa bande, Alan découvre par hasard sur un chantier qui jouxte l’usine de son père une ancienne malle contenant le jeu « Jumanji », qu’il décide de ramener chez lui. Lors d’une partie de Jumanji, Alan est propulsé sous les yeux de son amie d’enfance, Sarah, dans un étrange pays. Il ne pourra s’en échapper que lorsqu’un autre joueur reprendra la partie et le libèrera sur un coup de dés. Vingt-six ans plus tard, il retrouve le monde réel par le coup de dés de deux autres jeunes joueurs. Bâti sur un postulat (« un lancer de dés peut créer du danger ») et un schéma narratif diablement simples mais efficaces, avec une double-introduction dark et peu habituelle pour les blockbusters familiaux de l’époque elle sera d’ailleurs reprise bien plus tard, avec quelques différences néanmoins, dans le dernier film en date d’un véritable héritier d’Amblin "Brad Bird et son exceptionnel Tomorrowland". Ce démarrage met en scène la disparition d’un préado maladroit, martyrisé par ses camarades à cause de son patronyme et non écouté par son riche père (supposément) autoritaire qui veut l’envoyer contre son gré dans un établissement huppé, au sein d’un univers fantastique hostile avant que le cinéaste présente ensuite d’autres enfants, un frère et une sœur pupilles de la nation, qui trouveront, plus tard, après avoir joué à Jumanji, réconfort auprès de la version « adulte » du gamin exposé initialement. Robin Williams nous propose encore une fois un exceptionnel numéro d'acteur de talent entouré de la jolie Bonnie Hunt et le taciturne "Chasseur Van Pelt" incarné par Jonathan Hyde qui joue aussi le père d'Alan. Le divertissement par excellence avec un scénario original dont les effets spéciaux sont excellents pour la période où il a été réalisée. (Les animaux de la Jungle qui s'introduisent dans la maison, les Dinosaures, les zèbres et les singes qui déboulonnent de partout. Des séquences jubilatoires, de féerie pour ce grand classique du cinéma.
