Jumanji (also known as Jumanji: The Animated Series) is an American animated television series that was inspired by the 1995 film based on the 1981 children's picture book of the same name. The series ran for three seasons from 1996 to 1999.[1] In 1996, it was carried by the UPN Kids block on UPN, but later seasons were syndicated by BKN. Jumanji was produced by Adelaide Productions and was the first show made by that company, with character designs by Everett Peck.
