Jumanji (1995)
Country: US
Technical: Technicolor 104m
Director: Joe Johnston
Cast: Robin Williams, Bonnie Hunt, Kirsten Dunst
Synopsis:
In 1969 a much put upon boy finds an extraordinary game which unleashes the forces of the jungle and sucks him inside its confines for twenty-six years.
Review:
Adopting the plot dynamics of Back to the Future, but without the ingenuity, this fashionably destructive and potentially fatal cartoon mayhem seemed to exist to show off its combination of live action and computer generated visuals, which were quickly superseded. It spends comparatively little time extracting moral lessons but leaps from the consequences of one move to the next with gleeful irresponsibility (in which respect it resembles Sendak's story Where the Wild Things Are).
