Reviews
Like the rest of Johnston's oeuvre, Jumanji puts vivid characters through paces that will quicken any child's pulse. - Peter Canavese, Groucho Reviewshttp://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1068044-jumanji/
Great special effects and exciting adventure stuff. A bit of a slow buildup and unnecessarily dead parents. - Fred Topel, About.comhttp://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1068044-jumanji/
