Is Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle worth the purchase? To me, it all depends on the bonus features!

More from Movies

You have to really enjoy a movie to want to buy in on Blu-ray, but it also helps your decision if the bonus features and extra content are amazing. Because in a world where you can catch the movie on a network channel or Netflix (or simply rent it if you’d like to watch it again), buying a Blu-ray or DVD (and nowadays, 4K HD copies) only happens if a movie is special to you.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is an LOL-fun adventure the family can enjoy again and again. The cast, Karen Gillan, Kevin Hart, Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, and Nick Jonas, are perfect in their roles! It’s nonstop laughs thanks to Kevin Hart and Jack Black, but Dwayne Johnson and Karen Gillan also make their presence known, while Nick Jonas ties in the group together. It’s a great movie to own, especially for families. But what can we expect from the special features?

#7 Gag Reel

What’s up with Gag Reels disappointing me lately? They’re what I look forward to the most when I get my hands on a Blu-ray. It’s so fun to see the cast break character and learn first-hand how the actors really get along. In the movies I’ve received lately, though, the gag reel has been incredibly short and not much fun to watch.

#6 Jumanji the Music Video

You’ve already seen this as it was released shortly after the movie premiered in theaters (or was it before?). So unless you REALLY enjoyed it, skip it.

#5 Attack of the Rhinos!

How did one of the most heart-pounding scenes in the film become a reality? “Attack of the Rhinos!” walks you through it!

#4 Surviving the Jungle: Stunts

Another look at the making of several action sequences.

#3 Meet The Players: A Heroic Cast

As I’ve already mentioned, one of the things fans love about Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, is the cast. They work great together and the connection they have feels genuine. “Meet The Players: A Heroic Cast” quickly touches on the casting.

#2 Book to Board Game to Big Screen and Beyond: Celebrating the Legacy of Jumanji

The idea of a Jumanji remake was not initially welcomed by critics or fans of the original. We can list various reasons why it seemed like a bad idea, and it actually could’ve been, had the cast and crew been careless. This feature walks fans of the original movie through the process of putting together a worthy reboot.
