Common questions
What order should I watch the Jumanji movies in?
To follow the series chronologically, you should start with the original Jumanji from 1995, followed by Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. After finishing that, you can continue the story by watching the sequel, Jumanji: The Next Level, which continues the adventures of the characters introduced in the 2017 film.
Is Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle a direct sequel to the 1995 film?
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle acts as a continuation of the franchise rather than a direct remake. While it shares the core premise of a dangerous game from the 1995 Jumanji movie, it updates the concept by featuring teenagers who are pulled into a video game world instead of a board game.
Should I watch Jumanji: The Next Level after Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle?
Yes, Jumanji: The Next Level is the direct follow-up to Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. It picks up after the events of the 2017 movie, featuring the same group of teenagers who return to the game world to complete further adventures and face new dangers within the jungle environment.
Does Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle feature the same game as the original movie?
No, the game in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is distinct from the one in the 1995 Jumanji film. In this version, the game has evolved into a video game console that pulls players into a jungle world, requiring them to inhabit avatars to survive and complete the adventure.
