Space Jam (DVD 2004)

As a cynical exercise in franchise exploitation this live-action/animated feature takes some beating; as a film, its target audience appears to be child fans of the cartoon characters' live-action co-star, basketball player Michael Jordan. Realising he doesn't get a penny from the spin-off toys owned by Jordan's kids, Bugs Bunny considers getting a better agent. To revive his ailing Moron Mountain theme park, Swackhammer dispatches his minions, the Nerdlucks, to Looney Tunes Land, to kidnap Bugs, Daffy Duck, Wile E Coyote, et al. To save their skins, the Looney Tunes challenge their would-be abductors to a game of basketball, whereupon the Nerdlucks transform themselves into their fearsome alter egos, the Monstars, before siphoning off the ball-playing skills from a bunch of NBA stars. To even up the odds, Bugs and Co kidnap Jordan and beg him to lick them into shape for the big game. The set plays are transparently simple, the execution sloppy and the ending signposted days in advance. Visually, it's a mess: the attempts to blend 2- and 3-D animation with live-action and computer-generated images produce scenes that are fuzzier than the storyline

this was just the item i was looking for it was at agood price and the postage and packaging was very reasonable.

Classic film for all the family to enjoy, thrilled to finally own it on DVD.
The included extras are a added bonus to watch.

ive brought this for my children they watched it when they where much younger and love it, its one of those film where when youve watched it the kids will watch it over and over again

I am a person who thrives on the effort put into arts of all kinds, what i can say is that space jam is an excelent example of just that kind of effort what i mean is that WB went to a huge amount of effort to bring looney tunes to the big screen, redesigning characters and introducing the unsung heroen of the movie (Lola Bunny) who became more popular than WB could ever imagine.WB wanted to make shure it was better than who framed rodger rabit. i won't go into too much detail as the previos reveiwers have done a great job in giving you the general plot line. when space jam was advertised on tv it turned into the number 1 kids movie of the year drivin by the succes of BOOMERANG the popular kids tv channel showing looney tunes. grab yourself a bargin and add this to your collection now for like all the other looney tunes cartoons it will turn into a timeless classic that kids in the future will benafit from. Space jam has a definite improvement from rodger rabit on the effects side of things however not definite enough from the 8 yr technology gap a space jam made in 1996 (rodger rabit made in 1988)Sorry WB but maybe real life and cartoon will never mix properly (I hope it can!!) this is the reason for the GOOD instead of excelent rating. DESPITE THAT THIS IS A CRACKING MOVIE WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!!

thank you for reading!

Space jam is one of those movies, which is so beautifully made its one of those movies you just have to watch. With a mixture of carton and real-life footage, Space jam just blows you away, the special effects are out of this world and with a cast line up of Michael Jordon, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and more...

Space jam will prove to be the best intertaining film you would want to see over and over again.

Excellent basketball film for 4-8yrs , cartoon monsters and bugs bunny etc.mixed with michael jordan and co.Nice story (good vs bad), watched many times over , wont gather dust.

The film is a "must" for all basketball players - young and old, amator or professional! Truely original in its cartoon/real-life mix. The magic in the film - the dream of a young Michael Jordan enhanced by the music of R. Kelly ( I beleive I can fly) must be familiar to any "whannabe" Allan Iversen/Michael Jordan/Magic Johnson... you name it!!! Dreams are good to see - as well as have!
