Watching “Space Jam: A New Legacy,” a question kept nagging me: Was “Space Jam” from 1996 this annoying? Both movies starred a professional basketball player who couldn’t act, both movies found a convoluted way to pair them up with the classic Looney Tunes characters in order to win a basketball game, and both movies tried way too hard to make Bugs Bunny and company appeal to a new generation. The difference is that I loved “Space Jam” when I was ten, but I found “A New Legacy” to be downright painful at 35. You could certainly point to my tastes maturing, but I still love plenty of kids’ movies, especially from Disney and Pixar. I highly suspect that “A New Legacy” is simply much worse.

âSpace Jam: A New Legacyâ isnât really a movie. It is a commercial. But letâs be clear, âSpace Jamâ was ALWAYS a commercial.
The original âSpace Jamâ was a spin-off of a series of popular Nike ads starring basketball legend Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny, so being a feature length ad is baked into the DNA of this franchise. Warner Bros. just really leans into it with the whole movie becoming a giant ad for the studioâs intellectual properties.
The cynic in me wants to hate this, but â taken for what it is â it is sorta fun. After all, some commercials can be very entertaining.
