* ActingForTwo: Creator/JonathanHyde plays both Alan's father and Van Pelt. A common theory is that Jumanji conjures up Van Pelt by taking the form of the person you had dreaded the most, and for Alan, it's his father--especially since Van Pelt spouts out the same criticism as his father. It also serves as a ShoutOut to stagings of ''Literature/PeterPan'', where Mr. Darling and Captain Hook are always the same actor. Oh, should we also mention that Robin Williams also played [[Film/{{Hook}} Peter Pan himself?]]
