There was a time when every 90s kid was obsessed with Jumanji and for very good reasons. The movie which was released in 1995 was based on the children's book of the same name by Chris Van Allsburg.
The fantasy adventure movie tells the story of siblings Judy and Peter Shepherd, who released a pair of friends who had been trapped in a destructive board game since 1969.
The cult-classic was an instant hit because it had all the elements of a great 90s movie that we know and love. It had a great story, special effects, funny scenes and of course, good actors.
22 years later, it seems like Hollywood is running out of original ideas so a Jumanji sequel is currently in the works. Titled Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, the movie will star Kevin Hart, Karen Gillian Jack Black and and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. We're going to keep our expectations low for now.
All this talk about a new Jumanji movie, has prompted people to question the whereabouts of the original cast since they stopped rolling the dice. While most of the adult cast members like Robin Williams and Bonnie Hunt have gone on to do great things, not a lot of people know what the children that starred in the movie are up to now.
So where are they all now? If you're curious too, read on to find out how they all turned out.
