“Space Jam,” directed by Joe Pytka, is an incredible viewing experience offering a unique combination of fast-paced action and outrageous comedy.
This movie includes famous people from two worlds. One is retired Hall of Famer Michael Jordan. Here’s a clue that might help you guess who the other main character is: “What’s up, Doc?”
Yes, it’s Bugs Bunny.
This thrilling movie begins with a young Michael Jordan dreaming of becoming a pro basketball player. Later, he pursues his dream and at the same time follows another passion: playing baseball. Because he is a Hall of Fame basketball player, he is welcomed into the baseball community. Jordan is also an excellent golfer. While golfing, MJ is kidnapped by the Looney Tunes, who need his help. This is funny because of the intense battle of MJ and the Looney Tunes versus the Nerdlucks.
The battle may seem like David and Goliath, only who’s David? Watch and prepare to be shocked.
Three aspects of this movie are great. The story is filmed both as an animation and live-action, so it is enjoyable for all ages. It is produced perfectly. It never feels like you are watching two separate movies. It is very cool to view the cartoon characters in our world and at the same time see MJ in an animated one.
Another reason “Space Jam” works so well is that it combines sports and cartoons. For instance, Jordan extends his arm 30 feet to the basket with the enlarged Nerdlucks holding him down. Exciting scenes on the basketball court add a touch of reality to the movie.
The third aspect that adds to its success is its appeal to all ages. With kid humor and adult dialogue, “Space Jam” became an instant success. Other famous actors appear in guest spots.
“Space Jam” earns high marks because of its technical greatness. I am convinced that kids will love it and adults will find the Daffy Duck in them as well.
