Although at first glance it looks like a movie dreamed up by a marketing committee (and in some respects it probably was), Space Jam actually defies the odds against it to become a dazzling display of family entertainment. There's a kind of demented genius to the idea of casting NBA superstar Michael Jordan in a live-action and animated movie costarring the beloved characters from Warner Bros.' Looney Tunes cartoons. They play off each other like seasoned veterans of vaudeville, and Jordan never falls into the kind of awkward, amateurish showmanship that you might expect from a sports idol. He's comfortable in the cartoon land of his costars, who include Bugs Bunny and sexy newcomer Lola Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Elmer Fudd, Sylvester & Tweety, Speedy Gonzalez, the Tazmanian Devil, Foghorn Leghorn, and Yosemite Sam. They've all been hijacked to an outer-space amusement park run by the Nerdlucks, who strike a Faustian bargain with the Looney heroes: if Bugs and Co. can defeat the Nerdluck "Monstars" in a basketball game, they'll win back their freedom; if they lose, they'll be doomed to stay there forever as enslaved entertainers. So they kidnap Jordan as their coach and "secret weapon" while the nefarious Nerdlucks suck out the basketball skills from such stellar victims as Charles Barkley and Patrick Ewing. It all leads to reckless abandon on the basketball court, and Bill Murray pops in for some hilarious support. Combining traditional animation and computer-generated Nerdlucks with its live-action cast, Space Jam was made in the anarchic spirit of the Looney Tunes cartoons, where anything goes as long as it's funny and off-the-wall (or the ceiling, or the door, or the floor...). Technically astounding, it's also witty enough to entertain adults and kids alike. --Jeff Shannon
Product Description
Swackhammer, owner of the amusement park planet Moron Mountain is desperate get new attractions and he decides that the Looney Tune characters would be perfect. He sends his diminutive underlings to get them to him, whether Bugs Bunny & Co. want to go or not. Well armed for their size, Bugs Bunny is forced to trick them into agreeing to a competition to determine their freedom. Taking advantage of their puny and stubby legged foes, the gang selects basketball for the surest chance of winning. However, the Nerdlucks turn the tables and steal the talents of leading professional basketball stars to become massive basketball bruisers known as the Monstars. In desperation, Bugs Bunny calls on the aid of Michael Jordan, the Babe Ruth of Basketball, to help them have a chance at winning their freedom.

My eight year old was begging me for Space Jam as I searched the web I came across this video for $2.95. Still having 3 VCR's in the house I purchased the video and the kids have been watching over and over. The video arrived as promised in described condition.

My son loves this movie- great mix of Michael Jordan and cartoon characters!! Great for young ones!
Looney Tunes meet Michael Jordan, why didn't I think of that? March 6, 2009
Yo yo yo, Movie Review Kid in the hiz-house! Gosh, that sounded so cool. Anyway, you may know me from several movie reviews such as The Powerpuff Girls Movie & The Simpsons Movie. I'm here to review Space Jam. Me being a kid, am very fond of cartoons. And I am especially fond of the ones called Looney Tunes. Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, and the speech "pwoblem" hunter, Elmer Fudd and the whole Looney Tune gang always find someway to entertain me or laugh the life out of me. Michael Jordan, a famous basketball player is beloved by millions of people, as is Bugs Bunny. So it's only destiny they be combined in some sort of wacky movie. On November 15, 1996, my prayer was answered. A poster I saw said this:
Michael Jordan Bugs Bunny

I fainted and woke up the next morning. I thought "Cartoons and Live-Action...together? Never a thing has been done before. Well except for 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' but no one watches that movie anymore." And so I saw the movie. It turns out that a new Looney Tune appears. The one called Lola Bunny. I think Bugs like, got a crush on her or something but I'm not sure. In 2003, they released a 2-Disc Special Edition DVD with a free child's movie pass to see the next movie in the Looney Tunes Cartoon/Live Action movie series, "Looney Tunes Back in Action." I haven't seen that movie yet but I'll probably get it on DVD and then do a review on that too. And so get offya lazy butt and do something ya doofus! It'll do ya some good and help you lose pounds, Man.
And the best part is, you can't find out where I live so you can give me a part of your mind. Safe in good old Chicago. Uh-oh. Dude out.

I fainted and woke up the next morning. I thought "Cartoons and Live-Action...together? Never a thing has been done before. Well except for 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' but no one watches that movie anymore." And so I saw the movie and it was fantastic, included with digitalized filming and stuff.. It turns out that a new Looney Tune appears. She's called Lola Bunny. I thinks Bugs like, got a crush on her or something but I'm not sure.
