Jumanji

For its time it was a pretty good children's cartoon. The artwork was edgy and the theme music was engaging, the creatures looked pretty scary/sinister and the rules based, cause and effect reality created by the Jumanji game gave the environment character and some of the malevolent characters a certain pathos. Professor Ibsen in the episode Master Builder was a direct reference to the Norwegian playwright Henrick Ibsen, who wrote a play called Master Builder and contains parallels to the character. Tim Curry is the voice to Slick.

Favorite episodes include Armageddon, where the rules of Jumanji begin to break down and Branford, a game version of the "real world" where Peter and Judy come from.

"Jumanji" the T.V. series was as good as the Jumanji movie, which I really enjoyed. I used to watch this show on UPN before I went to school in the morning.

"Jumanji" the T.V. series was sort of based on the movie. Peter and Judy would go into the game everyday to see Alan. My favorite character was Peter. He was clever when it came to solving the clues.

My favorite episode was the one when Aunt Nora went into the game. That episode was hysterical. My favorite part of each episode was when Peter and Judy first receive the clue because the clue always sounded very interesting. I, along with Judy and Peter, would try to solve the clue.

Overall I really enjoyed this series and was sad to see it leave. I give this show 9/10 stars.

Loosely based on the movie of the same name, this series has Judy and Peter stumble onto the game and find Alan trapped inside. As the episodes went on, the trio ventured to various and creative places, as well as encountering some delightful supporting characters. This show had an interesting charm to it, similar to the movie.

I just want to say that I liked the Robin Williams movie from 1995. It had a likable cast, solid acting, great action, terrific special effects, and some wonderful music from James Horner although the first few minutes were a tad bit slower and some of the scenes were apparently dark. So, when I saw this TV show adaptation of the movie as a kid, I was virtually impressed, although it may not be a classic since the third season had some weaker, yet very interesting episodes (although the final episode where Alan finally gets out of the jungle was great).

Seeing as how this was made by Klasky-Csupo, the company who made The Rugrats and The Wild Thornberrys, I think they did a great job with this show. The story lines for this show are very creative, especially in the first two seasons and they had a charm to them just like the movie. The pathos from the Jumanji game gave some an atmospheric tone to the environment and it's presented so lively. The characters designs, although weird, are at least tolerable. The voice acting is also pretty good too. Debi Derryberry did great as Judy and Ashley Johnson did great as Peter as did Bill Fagerbakke as Alan Parish. Tim Curry also did great as Trader Slick and the other voice actors voiced some of the new characters pretty well. Even the theme song was engaging.

Overall, not a classic, but a great show nonetheless and definitely worth-watching to fans of the movie!

I remember watching this 1990s cartoon (we know it's based on the 1995 film of the same name) when I was a kid. It was shown on RTÉ 2, UTV via ITV as a part of their children's block CITV and Nickelodeon years ago. It's probably one of the most underrated 1990s cartoons of all time. I still like it though. The acting is great especially from Bill FagerBakke (same bloke who voices Patrick Star, SpongeBob's simple-minded best friend from SpongeBob Squarepants as we know as well ), Deby Derryberry, Ashley Joshson and of course, Tim Curry themselves.

I think I have a crush on Judy. Judy is a very cute girl, isn't she?

My favourite characters are Alan, Judy, Peter, Trader, Van Pelt and Professor J. S. Ibsen.
