`OPPOSER’S FIFTH NOTICE OF RELIANCE
`UPON PRINTED PUBLICATIONS PURSUANT TO
`TRADEMARK RULE 2.122(e) and TBMP 704.08(a)
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to Trademark Rules 2.122(e) and TBMP 704.08(a), Opposer TriStar Pictures,
`
`Inc. hereby gives notice of its reliance upon the printed publications attached hereto as Exhibit A
`

`
`unsolicited media coverage concerning Opposer’s JUMANJI films, including the original movie
`
`and the sequel JUMANJI: WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE. The evidence is relevant to
`
`Opposer’s prior rights in the JUMANJI mark, the strength and fame of Opposer’s JUMANJI
`
`mark and the relatedness of the parties’ goods and services for purposes of Opposer’s claims of
`
`likelihood of confusion, likelihood of dilution and/or false suggestion of a connection.

`'Jumanji' Certain to be a Box Office Success

`Highlight: Movie critic Tom Shales says the latest Robin Williams film, "Jumanji," will be a Christmas smash, but
`adds that the special-effects-laden feature suffers a bit from its heavy reliance on high technology.
`
`Body
`
`BOB EDWARDS, Host: Jumanji, a new movie starring Robin Williams, opens in theaters nationwide today. Critic
`Tom Shales says that adults might find the special effects tiresome, but the kids will love them.
`
`
`
`TOM SHALES, Movie Reviewer: Jumanji, in reminds with humongous - OK, not quite, but humungous it will be.
`It's gross to talk about grosses in a movie review, but we can all expect Jumanji to bypass the $100 million mark at
`the box office quicker than you can say 'mugambo' [sp] or 'ungawa' [sp]. Every kid in America will want to take a
`parent or guardian to see this picture, since it not only is more fun than a barrel of monkeys but includes roughly a
`barrel full of monkeys in its cast. Of course, they aren't real monkeys. 'Them's' computer monkeys. They were
`coughed up by digital technology and armies and armies of special effects wizards. Jumanji is the movie with bats
`in its belfry, giant mosquitoes in its attic, monkeys in its kitchen, and elephants and rhinoceroses in its library. All
`this, and Robin Williams, too. He was not generated by a computer, at least no computer on this planet, and he
`doesn't appear in the movie until half an hour in.
`First, there's a prologue, set in 1869, when children bury something strange and mysterious and then run for their
`wee little lives. A century later, at the same spot in what is now Branford, New Hampshire, a little boy whose father
`runs the Parish Shoe Company digs up the mysterious, strange thing, which turns out to be a board game unlike
`any other. Jumanji, of course, which rhymes with 'boogie, boogie, boogie,' or almost.
`
`
`
`The little boy and his girlfriend play the game, and when they spin the dice, the markers move by themselves and
`an eerie green message appears in a circle.
`
`
`
`1st BOY, from 'Jumanji': Jumanji - a game for those who seek to find a way to leave their world's behind.
`
`
`
`1st GIRL, from 'Jumanji: You roll the dice to move your token, doubles get another turn. The first player to reach
`the end wins.
`
`
`
`TRI 001300
`
`

`

`'Jumanji' Certain to be a Box Office Success
`
`TOM SHALES: Suddenly, the little boy is sucked into the game and disappears into limbo for the next 26 years
`when yet another pair of kids gets hold of the game and unwittingly brings him back by rolling the appropriate
`number on the dice. He's all grown up now, well, sort of, because it is Robin Williams, hopping around in an outfit
`made of leaves and burlap, and with a long beard and scraggly hair, a combination of Robinson Crusoe and Harpo
`Marx. To continue the game and thus banish its spells, Williams must locate the little girl who was his partner those
`many years ago. She's played by Bonnie Hunt, a winsome and delightful comic actress who does a good deal to
`humanize the movie. Anyway, the game proceeds and with each roll of the dice, Jumanji visits some new
`catastrophe on the players. Fortunately, they are playing the game in a very big house, big enough to
`accommodate the stampede of elephants and rhinoceroses, plus a few zebras and oversize pelicans. All these
`creatures were created using computers. They aren't animated models, like King Kong, or drawn cartoons. They
`aren't really there, and yet they sure appear to be.
`
`
`
`The first animal the kids see is a lion, very fakey, strictly F.A.O. Schwartz, although for some reason, it's rear end is
`more believable than its front end. The monkeys in the kitchen don't look real, either, and you may think to yourself,
`'Maybe they're not supposed to look real. Maybe they're supposed to look like illustrations from a children's book
`come to life.' But then the elephants look quite real, especially when they burst from the house into the city and go
`on a merry rampage.
`
`
`
`ROBIN WILLIAMS, from 'Jumanji': Run! It's a stampede! Don't look back!
`
`
`
`TOM SHALES: Adults watching all these fantastic fantasies and wondrous wonders may say to themselves, 'I wish
`we'd had movies like this when I was kid.' But the fact is, Jumanji is somewhat trapped by its technology. As
`magical and magnificent as its synthetic spectacles may be, there's something oddly, well, constipated about the
`picture. It seems limited somehow, never taking off, like ET did, or truly soaring in an exhilarating way. You could
`see the wires that made Mary Martin fly in Peter Pan, but it was still awe-inspiring and it gave you goose bumps.
`Ironically or not, Jumanji seems to lack a true sense of wonder, and at times, even comes across like a
`mathematical, mechanical exercise.
`
`
`
`Almost all the child actors in the film are terrific, although one looks like a young Ed Meese, and they help
`compensate for the surprisingly prosaic nature of the miracle. Williams and Hunt are cute together, and Williams is
`gratifyingly subdued here, with only a few Robin Williamsy pop culture references thrown in.
`
`
`
`ROBIN WILLIAMS: Afraid? You don't even know afraid is. You will not last five minutes without me.
`
`
`
`2nd BOY: So, you're going to help us?
`
`
`
`ROBIN WILLIAMS: I'll watch. I'm not afraid.
`
`
`
`TOM SHALES: Another hero of the film who should not remain unsung is David Alan Grier, the inspired comic actor
`who recently hosted one of the best Saturday Night Lives in years. He was hilarious on that show, doing a
`merciless impression Bryant Gumbel, and later appearing as an Uncle Tomish entertainer, singing, 'Yes, indeedy,
`dodily do.' Grier is great in the film, and though his role as a trouble-plagued cop is too blatantly comic reliefy, he
`gives it dignity as well as hilarity. Like most children's films, including all those ghastly monstrosities from Disney,
`Jumanji lends itself all too easily to merchandising tie-ins and the threat of sequels, ad infinitum. And unwisely, I
`think, the producers and distributors have given away many of the most special special effects in TV commercials
`

`
`

`

`'Jumanji' Certain to be a Box Office Success
`
`and trailers for the film. A featurette on HBO even shows how the effects were down, step by step, spoiling much of
`the surprise. But still, all that said, depriving kids of a movie this full of fun and frenzy would be like telling a three-
`year-old that Santa has had a stroke, or putting the proverbial lump of coal in the proverbial stockings, hung by the
`chimney with the proverbial care. Jumanji may have sprung full-blown from a corporate laboratory, but spring it
`does. It springs, it leaps, it gambols, it cavorts, and it pirouettes. To put it another way, look, you can't fight
`Jumanji; you might as well ju-join it.
