Space Jam is live-action/animated movie from Hollywood that was released in 1996. The film consisted of a star cast that included names like Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Larry Johnson, Muggsy Bogues, Shawn Bradley and Larry Bird

Michael Jordan was casted opposite Bugs Bunny (voiced by Billy West) in the movie Space Jam. The film was produced by Ivan Reitman, and directed by Joe Pytka (live-action) and Tony Cervone and Bruce W. Smith (animation). This animated series was a Warner Bros. Family Entertainment production.

Many eminent actors lended their voice for the animated characters who featured in the movie. Some of the well known names are Bob Bergen as Porky, Tweety, Hubie and Bertie and Marvin the Martian, Bill Farmer as Sylvester and Dee Bradley Baker as Daffy and Taz. As popularity of Space Jam increased Acclaim Entertainment converted the film in a pinball and video game for PC-DOS, Sega Saturn and PlayStation.

The plot of Space Jam revolves around the famous basketball team of Chicago Bulls. The movie opens with Michel Jordan announcing his retirement from basket ball as he desires to indulge himself in some baseball game. On the other hand, far away in another planet Mr. Swackhammer sends five tiny aliens known as Nerdlucks to go to Looney Tune Land. This place is named Moron Mountain, which is an outer space theme park
But in the movie, Space Jam we find the Looney Tunes plotting their escape to get rid from the exploitation of Mr. Swackhammer. One of them named Bugs Bunny therefore challenged the Nerdlucks to a basketball game. But through unfair means the Nerdlucks steal the talents of famous basketball players like Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Muggsy Bogues, Larry Johnson, and Shawn Bradley. This transforms them into tall monstrous characters. Now it was all left on Michel Jordan to free the Looney Tunes as well as himself from the clutches of Swackhammer.

In spite of some negative reviews, Space Jam turned out to be one of the most successful ventures. In its opening weekend, it grossed US$27,528,529 in 2,650 theaters. It grossed US$230,418,342 worldwide.Wikipedia
