This film is based off the 1981 children's picture book, of the same title, written and illustrated by Chris Van Allsburg. Two kids, Alan and Sarah, play a magical board game that changes their lives. 26 years later, two other children, Judy and Peter, discover and begin playing the board game. After releasing a jungle man they learn that they must finish what was started.
This film was directed by Joe Johnston. In 1995, this film was a very unique story. Without explaining the history of the magical board game, it presents the game's magical qualities. The characters stories give the film its heartfelt quality. It can be cheesy at certain moments, but its not the worst seen in most children films. There is a great story about facing your fears and growing up within this film. This did show at the start of computer animation's popularity. The computer animated animals were good for their time of creation. The robotic animals were decent. It was noticeable that they weren't entirely real-at least on blu ray. Some of the costumes were over the top, but it works for a children's film.
The cast worked great together. Robin Williams played the role of Alan Parrish. He was great in his role. He gave his character a childish charm. Bonnie Hunt played the role of Sarah Whittle. She was great in her role. She gave the film a slight romantic angle. Kirsten Dunst played the role of Judy Shepherd. She was great in her role. Bradley Pierce played the role of Peter Shepherd. He was great in his role. Jonathan Hyde played the role of Sam Parrish and Van Pelt. He was great in his dual roles.
I give this film 5 out of 5 stars! This is a great classic family friendly film. It is a cheesy heartfelt film that everyone can enjoy.
