A wonderfully constructed marriage of live action and animation, probably the best since Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It's a simple story of the Looney Tunes teaming up with Michael Jordan to stop the oppressive Monstars from enslaving them. The basketball scenes are great, the jokes mostly land, and Bill Murray steals the show whenever he's onscreen. Not to mention the fantastic soundtrack that today is pure standard. If you're looking for a serious movie, Space Jam isn't your thing. If you want a fun family movie that makes you laugh and cheer on the greatest basketball star of all time, then this is definitely worth your time.

Currently, the film is largely forgotten, and I feel that not even the release of a new film has served to spark interest in it.

The plot is simple: a group of tiny, seemingly unthreatening aliens are willing to do anything to kidnap the Looney Tunes and take them to their planet. Watching them, Bugs Bunny comes up with the idea of ​​challenging them to a basketball game that will decide the toons fate, convinced that everythin…

When the big (figuratively speaking) boss of an intergalactic entertainment world captures "Bugs" and the other "Looney-Tuners", he vows to enslave them as lucrative attractions for the rest of their days. "Bugs" is no slouch when it comes to self-preservation, though, and so convinces his henchmen that the sporting thing to do is challenge them. Winner takes all. They aren't the brightest crayons in the tin, so agree to a game of basketball - despite having no idea what it actually is. With the match looming, he realises that his team haven't really much more of an idea so they need a mentor. Coincidentally, NBA legend Michael Jordan has just retired and taken up baseball. Suffice to say that it's lucky he has already made his cash elsewhere becuse he couldn't hit a barn door with a shovel in his new chosen sport. Can he come back and galvanise "Bugs" et al? Just to further complicate m…
