His Airness and His Hareness: What a team! Michael Jordan slams, Bugs Bunny jams and a cavalcade of Looney Tunes stars hoop it up in Space Jam, the rim-rattlin' animated/live-action roundball romp from Hollywood talents who refuse to let their imaginations be earthbound.

The jokes fly and the fun never stops as the Tune Squad takes on the Nerlucks in a hardcourt game to decide if the Looney Tunes remain here…or become attractions at afar-off galactic off-ramp called Moron Mountain. The Nerlucks have a monstrous secret weapon on their side: they’ve stolen the skills of NBA Stars like Charles Barkley and Patrick Ewing and become Monstars. But that’s not all folks. The Tune Squad also has a secret weapon. And he just happens to be the finest player in this or any other universe. He’s outta this world. So’s the fun.
 


Editor's Note

Threatened with being kidnapped and taken to Moron Mountain by the Nerdlucks, Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes characters propose a winner-take-all basketball game. Confident that their ringer, NBA mega-star Michael Jordan, will ensure their victory, Bugs & Co. are surprised with their foes' ability to "absorb" talent from other earth-bound hoops stars. A live-action/animated comic adventure.


Plot Summary

"Space Jam" marks the film debut of basketball legend Michael Jordan, who plays himself opposite some rather "colorful" co-stars...| When the Looney Tunes bunch are kidnapped to another planet by the dastardly Swackhammer, Bugs Bunny challenges them to a basketball game to win their freedom. But when the hulking opposing team, the Monstars, sap the talent from such popular hoopsters as Patrick Ewing and Charles Barkley, the Looney Tuners realize they're in deep trouble. In response, they enlist the aid of Michael Jordan, who trains and later joins the squad.| It's gonna be a wild 'n wacky, high flyin', slam-dunk of a game -- with everything at stake for Bugs and company. Can "Air" Jordan lead them to a victory?|

5 of 5 Space Jam never grows old Tuesday, October 17, 2006
A Viewer from Ridgway, Pa.  

I bought this movie about 22 years ago for my son when he was 4 yrs. old. I remember it was one of his favorite movies and he watched it constantly. Recently I purchased it for my 4 yr. old grandson and he also enjoys it. Michael Jordon is right up there with his list of super heroes. I guess some movies are classics and Space Jam is one of the best movies for family entertainment that I know. I am pleased to see my grandson enjoying it as much as my son did.
