Space Jam is a 1996 American animated/live action film starring Michael Jordan opposite Bugs Bunny (voiced by Billy West) and the rest of the Looney Tunes characters. It was produced by Ivan Reitman, and directed by Joe Pytka (live-action) and Tony Cervone & Bruce W. Smith (animation). It was released to theatres by Warner Bros. Pictures.
In this movie aliens called Nerdlucks arrive on Earth to capture the Looney Tunes and take them back to an outer space theme park belonging to their boss, Swackhammer. Bugs Bunny convinces the aliens that the Looney Tunes must be allowed to defend themselves. Since the aliens are very short the Looney Tunes challenge them to a basketball game.
The aliens steal the talent of many NBA stars and use it to transform themselves into the tall and muscular Monstars. Fortunately, the Monstars haven't stolen the talent of Michael Jordan because he has retired from basketball to pursue a career in baseball (and play golf). Bugs Bunny gets Jordan to help them in their basketball game. The Looney Tunes manage to win the game and their freedom. The Nerdlucks give back the talent of the NBA stars and choose to stay on Earth. Michael Jordan decides to return to basketball, mirroring his real-life return.
Reviews of the movie were almost universally bad, and the Looney Tunes crew did not return to movie status afterwards until 2003 in Looney Tunes: Back In Action.
