Talk:Jumanji

Jumanji (film)

When Peter saves the game from the river and after he receives congratulations, Alan Parish (Robin Williams) looked very unhappy. Why?

I would just like to suggest that the film plot should focus on the actual story rather than trivia.--King of the Dancehall 06:13, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

I've got the DVD on tonight, I'll have a go. But I better not stop part way through, eh? ;-) --Uncle Ed 00:49, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

This page says that Jumanji was written in 1982, but the page about the book dates it as 1981. I don't know which is correct, but I thought I'd point out the inconsistency. --Sigafoos —The preceding signed but undated comment was added at 01:02, August 23, 2007 (UTC).

Error in Write-Up

Concerning this line near the end of the summary:

    'Jim (who has been hired by Alan and Sarah to work on the house) and Martha.'

When Jim has been hired to work in marketing at the shoe factory. When he and Martha mention their upcoming ski trip in the Canadian Rockies, the Parrishes respond that he should start to work right away because they want him to "get to work on the new line" of shoes.

Saying that the plot summary too long

I like the lengthy plot summaries. I don't know any place to get a good plot summary of movies. The plot summaries on imdb are only a few sentences whereas the detailed ones on wikipedia include a great deal of helpful information. Make them all detailed, I say. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.248.133.125 (talk) 18:39, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

You're entitled to your opinion, but Wikipedia policy disagrees with you: see WP:PLOT. Personally I think it's way, way too long. It should just be a summary, and not attempt to describe every scene. Pawnkingthree (talk) 15:43, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

I personally think that some parts of the summary are incomplete. A lot of story from the early parts of the movie seem to be left out or unaccounted. For example:

     'Alan and Samuel make up and Alan confesses to leaving the shoe in the shredder'

Who the hell is Samuel? He's not mentioned until the end of the movie. 72.208.111.158 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 03:55, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

I AGREE ITS AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.97.201.73 (talk) 21:34, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

remembering

do the two kids at the end of the movie remember anything, or somehow recognize alan and his wife? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.231.161.66 (talk) 01:21, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Diplomats in shoe factory

In one scene Judy mentions that their parents died while "negotiating peace in Israel" which sounds like they would be in some sort of diplomatic role. What would persuade a couple of diplomats to take a job at a shoe factory? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.140.57.16 (talk) 19:08, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

If you watch from the start the aunt says that Judy makes up stories about her parents and that the father was in advertising.94.196.42.3 (talk) 19:25, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

• Support The film, in my opinion, is much more notable than the book.--JOJ ^Hutton 23:07, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
• Support. Agree the film is more notable and the page view stats reflect that. Jenks24 (talk) 07:56, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
  • But per WP:NCB it should be Jumanji (short story), not Jumanji (book) (which should probably be a redirect. Jenks24 (talk) 13:09, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
• Support, in line with WP:COMMONNAME &c. The film is what most readers will be looking for. bobrayner (talk) 08:03, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
