AceShowbiz - "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" will hit theaters across the United States on December 20. Celebrating the release, Nick Jonas and Jack Black, who star in the movie, have premiered an epic yet fascinating music video for theme song "Jumanji Jumanji".
The clip begins with Jonas and Black introducing the music video to their co-stars, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Kevin Hart and Karen Gillan. The three of them look excited when Black tells them that they "finally cracked the code on the theme song for the movie and we got this music video that we put all our creativity into. I think you'll agree that we did it."
However, the music video turns out to be filled with a lot of awful special effects which include animals and air guitars. As the duo sing the lyrics to the theme song, footage of the movie can be seen in the background. Towards the end of the clip, the other stars look dumbfounded as Hart says that the clip "was s**t."
It appears that Johnson has more to say of the epic music video. Taking to his Twitter account, the former professional wrestler said that he thought that the clip would be "some Grammy-level s**t. Turns out it's a different kind of s**t... But I kinda like it."
When Jack Black and @NickJonas told me they wrote and shot an original song and music video for #JUMANJI, I thought, "this is going to be some Grammy-level shit." Turns out it's a different kind of 💩 .. but I kinda liked it. 🤙🏾 pic.twitter.com/Ol324hZd6h

Reading Johnson's tweet, Jonas immediately disagreed with what the California-born actor stated. He tweeted, "I would certainly put this in some of my finest songwriting work," adding the hashtags #proud, #jumanji and #iwritesongsitswhatido as well as a dinosaur emoji.
