The world was still mostly in black and white back then, NFB. It wasn't until Agent Orange spread during Vietnam that the global re-colorization process was completed. If you go back and watch old news footage from the early 60s, you'll notice hue issues, and that was pre-Orange, but most anything from the early 70s and on has proper color. I blame it on the darn Industrial Age, what with all the soot that coated everything, draining the color from the world. Examining photographs from the 1800s is evidence enough of this phenomena, with the stark black and white hues, which contrast with prior oil on canvas gorgeous color works that pre-date the mid-18th century.

Nobody else appreciated Ruby Roundhouse in Jumanji 2 ?

Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

I've come to accept that if a movie has nonsensical action bouncing flippantly from scene to scene with jello dialogue and a saccharine plot, it's not for me.
I completely see your point. It is also very indicative of what the mainstream movie audiences want to see and what they respond well to. I recognized a long time ago that most of my film preferences are not in-line with the preferences of the mainstream audience and that's fine with me. In all fairness to the Jumanji movies, we need to keep in mind that they were made for adults AND kids.

That and the premise of the movie is that they are inside a video game.
