When siblings Judy and Peter discover an enchanted board game that opens the door to a magical world, they unwittingly invite Alan -- an adult who's been trapped inside the game for 26 years -- into their living room. Alan's only hope for freedom is to finish the game, which proves risky as all three find themselves running from giant rhinoceroses, evil monkeys and other terrifying creatures.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A rollicking adventure where a magical board game transforms an ordinary living room into a wild, danger-filled jungle. It's pure escapist fun with genuine stakes and heart underneath the chaos.
