Space Jam

Director: Joe Pytka

1996 / 88min / 35mm

A surreal meeting of icons—some animated, some superhuman—Space Jam combines the talents of Bugs Bunny and His Airness, Michael Jordan, who comes out of retirement to team with the Merrie Melodies All-Stars and Bill Murray, and to throw down posterized dunks on a squad of ’toon goons. The result is a generational landmark blockbuster which acts as a time capsule of the NBA at the height of its ’90s glory, showcasing the acting talents of Patrick Ewing and Charles Barkley among others, and which also testifies to the enduring, eternal appeal of Bugs, Daffy, and the rest of the gang. You’ll believe you can fly.
