History Trivia / Jumanji

* FontAnachronism: The typeface used for the board game clue came out only in the 1990s.

** Aunt Nora is [[{{Rugrats}} Didi Pickles]].

* ActorAllusion: Aunt Nora in the movie is a pretty normal woman, played by [[{{Frasier}} Bebe Neuwirth]]. In the cartoon, she's basically [[{{Frasier}} Lilith Sternin]], in attitude and appearance.

* {{Defictionalization}}: A ''Jumanji'' board game was released when the movie came out. It shared many elements with the game in the movie, aside from the supernatural elements (like sucking-in-small-children) ... at least as far as we know. It also used cards, not even attempting to copy the magic-8 ball style interface. It came full-circle again when ''{{Zathura}}'' came out, which used cards.

* ShoutOut: The idea of the villain being played by the same actor as the protagonist's father comes from productions of ''PeterPan'', where Hook is almost always acted/voiced by the person who plays Mr Darling.
** Of course, in general, both Peter's father and Van Pelt are Alan's enemies (Van Pelt literally, Alan's father being such a Jerkass.) That idea of having the villain of two parallel universes played by the same actor goes back to Margaret Hamilton as the Wicked Witch/Miss Gulgh in the ''Wizard of Oz.''
** In relation to this, RobinWilliams was in the movie ''Film/{{Hook}}'', a Peter Pan adaptation.
