Trivia

Though the plot differs greatly from that of the book on which it is based, the ending of the film is very similar, in which the game is found by two other young children. In the book, the two children who find the game at the end are named Walter and Danny, the main characters from Zathura: A Space Adventure. See more »

Goofs

Plot holes: It's strange that when the game is finished, all the wild animals (as well as Van Pelt) get sucked back into the game, yet the wild plants and vines don't seem to. (For that matter, we don't even see the pelicans, monkeys, spiders or crocodile inside the "tornado" either.) See more »

Quotes

Exterminator: Bats aren't what I worry about in this house anyway.
Judy Shepherd: What would you worry about?
Exterminator: Well, personally, I wouldn't want to live in a house where someone was murdered.
Judy Shepherd: Murdered?
Exterminator: Yep, little Alan Parrish. I'd say his father did it. There's 1,001 places he could've hid the body in this house - especially if he chopped it up first.
