Welcome to the Jungleis a followup to the ' ninety motion-picture show that changes some detail from its forerunner , while still keep the central premiss of a magical hobo camp adventure plot . This time , the story rotate around a picture biz rather than a control board game , and the Thomas Kyd play it are transformed into the video biz characters bring by Gillan , Dwayne Johnson , Kevin Hart , and Jack Black .
The original film starred Williams as Alan Parrish , a man who is pin inside the Jumanji board game . Kirsten Dunst and Bradley Pierce were the tyke who played the game and taste to help him escape in the present - daytime , alongside Bonnie Hunt as Sarah Whittle , an old friend of Alan’s .

frankly , it ’s in my top three films of all clock time . Of all time ! I palpate like in your top three you have to have a couple of films that you really respect , and then one that ’s just that peculiar childhood nostalgia film . That ’s what Jumanji is for me . I just loved Robin Williams so much in it , and I loved Kirsten Dunst in it , she was so cool ! I loved the whole concept , it was really fun . I was a kid [ so ] I think it was just totally magical .

I feel like , aboveboard , I ’m judging it harder than most people will . Because I sleep with the original so much , and it go along the test with me . by all odds . I was very protective over it as well … I finger like it ’s just a bang-up sequel and it ’s going to live up to everything the first film rig for it . And hopefully take it even further .
