All I remember about this movie was a girl and I think her little brother were staying at like a museum or something like that after they closed... either they ran away or were looking for their parents... someone please tell me you know what movie I'm talking about... movie was from late 80's early 90's

Jumangi... with robin williams

It's not Jumanji because the kids in that movie never stayed at a museum. Plus, their parents were killed in an accident so they wouldn't be looking for them.

It is most likely "From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler (1973) or (1995) Both based on the novel of the same name by E. L. Konigsburg.

It's about two children, a boy and girl, who run away from home and hide in the Metropolitan Museum overnight, and while there they try to solve a mystery about a statue.

bushg... the parents did go on vacation in Jumanji, so you are right about that! If my memory serves, the parents died while on a skiing vacation or something very close to it!

They never actually showed the kids' parents, but the daughter who was played by Kirsten Dunst is talking about how her parents died to the real estate agent, and then her guardian who I think is her aunt tells the agent that that's not really how they died, and that they really died while on a skiing trip or something. Just wanted to clear that up :)

The parents did die (sort of) when Alan (robin williams) comes out of the game by the way of the kids their parents are dead. (they died in a skiing accident. But once they finish the game and everything returns to the way it was before they started playing there is a scene when alan and the girl are grown up and married and the two children come over with their parents and they say they are going on a skiing trip soon. And Alan and Bonnie Hunt (I don't remember the Characters name) scream NO!! Because that's how they died before.

That's how it went. If that made any sense to anyone.

Sarah Wittle was Bonnie Hunt's character just so you know! ;)

Hey, thanks for the movie name... I'll try to find it and let you know if it's the right one... sounds right...

Which movie? There were two named.

Jumanji
Or
From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler?

Also If you click the years I posted next to the movie title they will take you to the movie profile on IMDB and you can see if it's the right movie.

Mixed up Files of Mrs. Frankweiler... yeah I did check that out... I think it is...
