Friday Night Classics: Jumanji

Thirty years ago Hollywood descended upon the streets of Keene to shoot this iconic movie. Maybe you saw it screened for the first time at The Colonial, or maybe you were an extra on set. However you remember Jumanji, this film will always hold a special place for us.

A magical board game unleashes a world of adventure on siblings Peter (Bradley Pierce) and Judy Shepherd (Kirsten Dunst). While exploring an old mansion, the youngsters find a curious, jungle-themed game called Jumanji in the attic. When they start playing, they free Alan Parrish (Robin Williams), who’s been stuck in the game’s inner world for decades. If they win Jumanji, the kids can free Alan for good — but that means braving giant bugs, ill-mannered monkeys and even stampeding rhinos!
