Looney Tunes can't disappoint

Rating: 8/10 (24 March 2018)

I leading roles - Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny! How could anyone resist this announcement... In 1996, this movie was a miracle that, even without the internet, caused big hype. I loved it as a kid, and now, two decades later, I didn't enjoy any less.
An amusement park, somewhere far away in space, begins to decline in attendance and the owner has to provide new attractions to stay in business. He decides to go to Earth and kidnap Warner's cartoon characters. The fate of the Looney Tunes will be decided by a basketball game against aliens, and desperate toons are calling for help from Michael Jordan.
Story is classic Looney Tunes cartoon combined with feature film. Beside probably every Warner animated character and Michael Jordan, there are few more NBA players and genius comedians Wayne Knight and Bill Murray. From today's perspective, the film is technically rather outdated, but even if you are not able to look at it from the perspective of the time in which it originated, its speed, humor and a lot of interesting details and references (which you have no chance to catch all during a single viewing) leave you no time to bother with technical shortcomings. I also particularly liked the music (Seal, R. Kelly, Salt-N-Pepa, Technotronic, 2 Unlimited), which objectively might not be that great, but in me, who grew up in nineties, it woke up some nostalgia and its specific atmosphere put me in the right mood to enjoy this wacky film.
8/10
