Welcome to the Space Jam - By: Stampy, 02 Aug 2006 
With its funny dialogue & interesting characters the 1996 hit is able to produce the laughs required to make a humorous animated comedy fun for the whole family.
Michael Jordan stars as the central character who is going through the different stages in his life with basketballl & baseballl. He is kidnapped by the Looney Tunes who need his help to win a basketballl match. The story line is extremely predictable but humorous nonetheless as we see a variety of stories, Michael's life, life in Looney Tune land & on the clichéd bad guy mountain, humorously titled `Moron Mountain'.
Many classic Looney Tune style jokes & events are used by the familiar characters: Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Road Runner etc. A lot are repetitive & exaggerated but are chuckle some for the family. A lot of events used are very coincidental so the sense of realism is low but the whole idea is great, predictable but audiences can appreciate the humour & emotion the characters are going through & share their feelings.
The effects are well used. Combining real life people into an animated world creates an interesting concept for the audiences. Having the film set at a variety of places alllows the film to expand & create a variety of different issues for the audience.
The acting by Jordan is average. When talking to his team he seems incapable of getting to his players, whether that's his style we can only assume but he is able to pull off many jokes & keep the audience hooked whilst he has to deal with many changes in his life.
The soundtrack is fantastic. R Kelly's infamous `I believe I can fly' is encoded to emphasise a strong belief for the characters.
