Here’s How Jumanji: The Next Level Pulled Off Its Most Ridiculous Scene
The time has come. Jumanji: The Next Level is now available on digital release, allowing you to relive the antics of Dr. Bravestone (Dwayne Johnson), Ruby Roundhouse (Karen Gillan), and the rest of the Jumanji gang in the sequel to the 2017 film. The physical release of the film on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K comes March 17.
Whether you plan on picking up the digital copy now or a physical version when it’s released, there is a plethora of special features you’ll be able to get your hands on, including the featurette below that looks at one of the most over-the-top and utterly ridiculous scenes in the film.
Early on in Jumanji 2, Bravestone and his cohorts end up on the run from, of all things, an army of wild ostriches. The scene includes some wild dune buggy action throughout a desert that oftentimes looks unreal. However, as writer/director Jake Kasdan explained, that’s simply not the case.
How Pixar’s Onward Tells Studio’s Most Personal Story Yet
When a new Pixar movie arrives in theaters, chances are you’re going to see it expecting to be devastated. Whether it’s the life-long journey of a group of toys in the Toy Story franchise, the decimation of Earth at the hands of humans in Wall-E, or an old man finding new life in Up, Pixar tends to find a way to entertain mass audiences with colorful and exciting adventures, while also addressing emotionally complex issues that many will face throughout their lifetime.
That’s a trend that continues in the studio’s newest release, Onward. The film stars Tom Holland and Chris Pratt as a pair of brothers on a magical quest through their fantasy-inspired world. In this particular corner of the Pixar universe, magic once existed but has been largely forgotten by most. Now, the world is populated by elves, minotaurs, unicorns, and a long list of other fantasy characters just trying to get by in a largely modern world. That’s just the place-setting for the film, though. At its core, Onward is about life after losing a parent.
In the film, Holland’s Ian–a teen elf–has no memories of his father, who died when he was a baby. Meanwhile, Pratt’s character–Ian’s older brother Barley–has a few fond memories of his dad he hangs onto for dear life. Then, one day, they realize there’s a magical way to bring him back for a 24-hour period. It’s this possibility that drives their adventure, the opportunity to see their dad once more–or for Ian, for the first time.
