Like the rest of Johnston's oeuvre, Jumanji puts vivid characters through paces that will quicken any child's pulse.

Great special effects and exciting adventure stuff. A bit of a slow buildup and unnecessarily dead parents.

Unsatisfied with just being cute, this sucker wound up being both fun and clever.
