Over thirty years ago, Peter and Judy first found the game Jumanji with the instructions that once the game is started, it must be finished or it will go on forever. Since its original publication, Jumanji has been honored with many awards, including the Caldecott Medal. In 1996, the surreal story was adapted to fit the big screen for the first time.
Synopsis
Jumanji is the title of a 1981 children's illustrated short story written and illustrated by the American author Chris Van Allsburg. It was made into a 1995 film of the same name. Both the book and the movie are about a magical board game that implements real animals and other jungle elements as the players are playing the game. The troubles which the players have to overcome appear in real life, not only in the board game.
