Meet the NBA stars facing off against LeBron in ‘Space Jam: A New Legacy’Īll along, the movie blares its obnoxious “Be yourself!” message like a foghorn. LeBron James practices with animated teammate Lola Bunny. Eventually, LeBron settles on Bugs, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, Lola Bunny & Co. Lee’s many strategies to avoid developing characters or having funny scenes.
Mad Max, Austin Powers, Rick and Morty, Batman, Harry Potter, “Casablanca” and more flash across the screen in a montage, as if to brag about the studio’s extensive catalog. While LeBron recruits his scrappy team, Warner Bros. If he loses, he’s trapped for all eternity - a feeling I was all too familiar with. If LeBron wins, the pair gets to go home. Al zaps LeBron and his video-game-obsessed son Dom (who is not actually his child, but actor Cedric Joe) into “the Serververse” and challenges him to a basketball game against the menacing Goon Squad. The technology infusion robs the film of fun. The plot, such as it is, is much the same as the ’96 movie, except the alien foe has been changed to a computer.

That’s also what viewers have done: Today’s kids are much too busy monetizing their TikToks to watch a cartoon about a hunter with a speech impediment. Bugs Bunny tells the Laker his animated pals left home for more appealing properties: Harry Potter, DC Comics, “ Game of Thrones,” etc. When LeBron arrives in Tune World, where all the Looney Tunes are supposed to live, he finds it largely abandoned. Rhythm (Don Cheadle), who is responsible for drumming up all of the studio’s soulless content, such as … this! The villain of the movie is the WB algorithm, called, ugh, Al G. “And athletes acting - it never goes well.” That’s especially true of cardboard James. “I’m a ballplayer,” says star LeBron James, taking the reins from the original’s Michael Jordan, during a pitch meeting with WB execs. Over its interminable, nearly two-hour runtime, the film repeatedly mocks its very existence. Rated PG (some cartoon violence, some language.) In theaters and on HBO Max.
