It’s not the whole franchise, so that’s not entirely accurate, and 2. the movie they’re referencing was the weakest of all the Jumanji cash-grabs (funded in no small part by Hart & Johnson), so there’s little likelihood that anyone would complain — Besides, it’s the fuckin’ Muppets! Let’s go-o-o-o!
Whoa whoa whoa - the Jumanji reboot was excellent. It’s still a kids movie, but Jack Black was amazing, and even Kevin “Homophobe” Hart showed some chops. And the Rock and Karen Gilliam are both good as always.
Yes, it’s a derivative recycle of existing IP capitalizing on nostalgia, but everything now is a derivative recycle of existing IP capitalizing on nostalgia. At least they updated the board game idea to have fun 80s video game call backs and tried their best for a good script and good acting. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
So, Muppet Jumanji
I can’t tell you how many times I think of an amusing idea only to remember that it already exists.

Excuse me? What now?
In one of the newer jumanji movies the kids that get trapped in the game are played by jack black/dwayne Johnson/kevin hart.
Karen Gillian too right?
Yes, thanks. For some reason I can’t edit that right now.
Wait, but the new jumanji beats Zathura by a long shot, both pale to original jumanji.
Every bullshit attempt after the Robin Williams classic isn’t worth being referred to as a Jumanji movie. Case closed.

Sounds like Drunk Muppet History to me. Why not?
My immediate thought too
