Our take on Space Jam

Joe Pytka's 1996 family comedy blends live action and animation to team the Looney Tunes with basketball superstar Michael Jordan. With their freedom on the line, the cartoon crew recruits Jordan to help them win a basketball game against a squad of dim-witted aliens. The film mixes cartoon slapstick, sports spectacle and unabashed nineties nostalgia, built as a bright, energetic showcase for its animated stars and its famous guest. Story and logic run a distant second to the gags and the game. It's a natural fit for kids, Looney Tunes fans and viewers feeling nostalgic; those wanting narrative sophistication should set expectations accordingly.
