** The scene before it is sweet as well with Alan remembering that Judy and Peter were in the attic during the game and he wanted to go check on them.



* When Alan calls Carl "Soleman" Carl grins and laughs a little in fond remembrance.

** Even before that when the house was being torn apart by the earthquake, Sarah refused to let go of Alan to save the game. While she absolutely wanted the game to end, she valued Alan’s life far more.

* Bradley Pierce had to sit in the makeup chair for three and a half hours to have the monkey makeup applied. Robin Williams would sit with him during the process and help make sure that he was comfortable.
* According to Bradley Pierce, the crew asked his and Kirsten Dunst's parents to allow them to work overtime during some scenes as a way to save money while trying to stay on schedule. Robin Williams was having none of that and immediately came to their defense, saying, "No, we are not doing any extra time. You're going to let everybody out now, and we're going to come back next week."
* When Robin Williams committed suicide, the town of Keene, NH (where Jumanji was filmed) [[http://newenglandkid.tumblr.com/post/95959963459/this-is-a-shrine-that-was-made-in-honor-of-robin spontaneously created a memorial below the still-standing Parrish Shoes mural]].

*** Well, of course the squatter didn't. He was aware that Sam had gone to pieces after his son's disappearance. The ugly rumour and tragic facts weren't compatible.

* In its own way, Alan casually disbelieving Sara when she relays the official rumor that the former's father murdered him and chopped him into little pieces. This indicates Alan has complete faith that, despite their big argument, his father would never harm him.
* After Sara confides she's scared, Judy admits that she's scared too, but reminds them that if they play the game together, they have a chance of making it out. Cue our heroes solemnly putting their hands together, as though vowing to watch each other's backs. One feels as though this marks the moment their bond as TrueCompanions starts to cement.

* ''Heartwarming/JumanjiTheAnimatedSeries''



!!From [[Westernanimation/{{Jumanji}} the cartoon]]:
* The fact that Alan is willing to help Judy and Peter when the siblings get sucked into Jumanji.
* Even though Judy is angry at Alan for putting Peter in danger, she still agrees to go to Jumanji to help Alan. What makes it better is how happy she and Peter were seeing that Alan was all right.
* In the episode "No Dice", Peter mentions that Alan wouldn't have to worry about him and Judy, and Alan expresses concern for what happens to them in the real world, such as whether or not the children are doing well in their new school. This indicates that Alan cares about the children outside of Jumanji.
* When Judy gives Alan a family heirloom as a birthday present, saying that it belongs in the family. Alan's reaction to the gift is what really makes it heartwarming. Before that, Judy was driven to tears as after she begs Alan to survive by remembering his family, the images show that his family are Judy and Peter.
* The GrandFinale where after Alan finally escapes Jumanji, he and Nora meet each other again and to the kids and the audiences' surprise, they instantly fell in love. Judy and Peter can't help but smile because it means Alan might become their uncle. Judy and Peter might not have their parents, like in the film, but after spending forty episodes with him, Alan became a father to them. So they don't mind.
* At the near end of 'Air Judy' before Judy and Peter leave after solving the clue the egg belonging to Furbish and his wife hatches. Furbish decides to call their new daughter Judy the Rescuer in honor of Judy.
