What happens

Jumanji, also known as Jumanji: The Animated Series, is an American animated television series based on the 1995 film, which in turn was based on the 1981 children's picture book of the same name. The series ran for three seasons from September 8, 1996, to March 11, 1999. In 1996, it aired on the UPN Kids block on UPN, but later seasons were syndicated under the Bohbot Kids Network block. Jumanji was the first tv show produced by Adelaide Productions, a division of Sony Pictures Television responsible for creating animated series. Duckman creator Everett Peck did character designs for the series. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
