Peter[edit]

Peter was one of the four main characters. Why is he not listed in the main cast? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.145.127.6 (talk) 09:41, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's based on the Billing block on the poster. --Ahecht (TALK

so fix it, thats just bizarre to not list him as main cast. Gjxj (talk) 21:24, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mixed vs. negative[edit]

@69.114.132.120: Just saw your edits/reversions so I figured I’d bring it up here to avoid an edit war. As stated in the edit description, I think it’d be a better option to leave it as mixed since Rotten Tomatoes has it at a 55% and Metacritic’s rating only barely edges out my aforementioned “mixed reviews” criteria. Looks like it’s been that way for a while now, but if anyone else wants to chime in on their thoughts, feel free. First time bringing an issue like this up so I have no idea how to @ certain edit groups for their thoughts rofl - Booyahhayoob (talk) 04:58, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Girls in the final scene[edit]

Hello. In the film's final scene, there are two girls who hear Jumanji's drumbeats while the game is lying in the sand. Unfortunately, there hasn't been any secondary sources to confirm the location or the girls' nationality; there's also an editorial note stating the location or nationality for the girls shouldn't be added without presenting a reliable source which has been repeatedly removed and readded. Rather than get involved in an edit war, I'm opening the discussion here as per WP:BRD. Thanks, Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 17:51, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This mentions "French" and actually leans into this characteristic. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 19:19, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Timelines in the film[edit]

In the film, there are two different timelines, both of which are set in the present day (in this case, it's 1995): The first one is where Alan is released from the game after 26 years, Sam (Alan's father) is deceased, and the Shepherds' parents are killed in a ski trip. The second one is where Alan reconciles with Sam and eventually marries Sarah, both Alan's parents and the Shepherds' parents are alive, and Alan offers Jim (the Shepherds' father) to work at the shoe factory.

Given that, how should we handle listing the timelines in the plot section? Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 23:04, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"An alternate version" shouldn't be used talking about the new timeline but "THE alternate" can be used for the Jumanji timeline CyberTheTiger (talk) 20:48, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cast section[edit]

In the film, there are two distinct sets of cast lists: the first set that starts shortly after the film cuts to black, which lists the eleven principal and featured actors with no roles, but we can obviously figure them out: Williams, Dunst, Grier, Hann-Byrd, Hunt, Hyde, Neuwirth, Pierce, Handy, Clarkson and Bell Bundy. After that, there's the longer scrolling cast list which lists everyone.

Using Back to the Future (an FA) as a point of reference, I think we should stick to the list of 11 that is the principal + features as per the end credits and if there is any other notable person that secondary reliable sources have noted tied to the film that can be summarized in a prose statement below.

If there are any thoughts or suggestions, please let me know. Thanks, Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 04:53, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Makes sense to me. I'd be curious to hear arguments in favor of other schema. DonIago (talk) 05:53, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like a reasonable approach. --GoneIn60 (talk) 06:11, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1869 scene[edit]

I feel that the opening scene where the two boys bury the chest is a very important detail. Whenever someone adds it it gets removed but I'm now opening a discussion about whether or not that should be in there. Cyber the tiger (talk) 00:49, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
