Would you ever dare to play Jumanji?

The original film was based on the children’s book, Jumanji, written by Chris Van Allsburg, who also co-wrote the film in 1995.

In 2017, Columbia Pictures released the film’s first sequel, starring Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Karen Gillian. 

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle was followed by Jumanji: The Next Level in 2019.

Both sequels were successful and took the original story into the 21st century, introducing the jungle adventure to a new generation of children.

However, nothing can ever compare to the original.
