Space Jam has a unique blend of live action and traditional 2D animation, similar to Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It is not as clever in that a significant portion of the film takes place in Looney Tunes land where only Michael Jordan himself is live action. Despite this, it carries a whacky plot that somehow works. Michael Jordan has retired from playing basketball and struggling at his professional baseball career. A race of aliens wants to enslave the Looney Tunes and the deciding factor will be upon a basketball game, of which the Looney Tunes scout Michael. It takes a short while to set up the theme, as you'd know the big game at the finale is coming up. The game at the climax is exaggerated as you'd expect, and the amount of Michael Jordan "awesomeness" is a little bit overbearing. Despite that, the humor and gags are good and the film is entertaining as a family film.
