Sundance TV will honor the late Robin Williams' 65th birthday on July 11 by airing Jumanji.

The 1995 film will be shown at 9 p.m. EST. 

Based on the children's book of the same name, Jumanji revolves around two kids playing a magical board game, accidentally unleashing a man (Williams) who's been trapped in the game for years. It also stars Bonnie Hunt, Kirsten Dunst and Jonathan Hyde.

The beloved children's flick is getting a remake starring none other than Dwayne Johnson, who announced the news back in April. 

"Shooting starts this fall," Johnson wrote in an Instagram post. "Promise to deliver something cool and special.. and not screw the whole damn thing up."

Until then, you can relive your childhood memories of Jumanji and Williams courtesy of Sundance.
