“Space Jam” jams frenetic gags and a lot of noise into 90 minutes in
a blend of live action and animation. It’s the first time either Jordan or
Bugs has had a starring role on the big screen. It’s gimmicky
Saturday-morning cartoon wackiness in your face — funny, but
brain-deadening.

In “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” the novelty factor played strongly. In
“Space Jam,” cartoon characters and live-action ones on the same screen
have a kind of irritating clobber effect.

Jordan fans get a eyeful of the great one, however, and for them
“Space Jam” is worth twice the price of admission. Playing himself, he’s a
winner as a basketball star who retires from the game but can’t give up
professional sports entirely. He tries his hand at baseball, and the new
career is a washout. Obviously No. 23 of the Bulls has a sense of humor
about himself, and it comes as a saving grace in all this silliness.

The story is standard sports-movie formula, this time involving
toon characters taking the court against each other, with Jordan in the
middle as mentor and star. Cartoon aliens from another planet are dispatched
to Earth by a wicked theme-park operator, Swackhammer (voice by Danny
DeVito), who wants to introduce earthlings as park attractions.
The invaders form a brute basketball squad called the Monstars, acquiring
prowess by stealing talent from NBA stars Patrick Ewing, Charles Barkley,
Muggsy Bogues, Larry Johnson and Shawn Bradley, each playing sizable cameos.

The aliens run into powerful opposition from Bugs and a host of Warner
Bros. Looney Tunes characters, including Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, Tweety
Bird, the Tasmanian Devil, Wile E. Coyote, Yosemite Sam and a new character,
Lola Bunny, a statuesque female hoopster.
