- (children) Kids React to retro movies!
This episode: Space Jam!
- (announcer) When the world's greatest athlete
teams up with the world's best loved cartoon character...
- What?
- (announcer) ...you won't believe your eyes.
- Okay.
(Michael Jordan screaming)
- This seems weird already.
- Oh, I love this movie!
- There's the dude, Michael Jordan.
- This is Space Jam.
- It's such a great movie.
- (Porky Pig) Pardon me, Mr. Jordan.
- The Looney Tunes characters!
- (Jordan) What's going on here?
- (Bugs Bunny) We need your HELP!!
- Looney Tunes and some actor guy.
- (Nerdluck Pound) You heard of the Dream Team?
Well, we're the Mean Team. - Is this new?
- Probably old, so that's probably why I don't know it.
- (announcer) Warner Bros. presents...
(heads clonk) - (snickers)
- Jordan.
- (announcer) Bunny.
- (Bugs) Special delivery! - Are they making a basketball team?
- (announcer) They just might save the world.
- That's like one of my favorite movies of all time.
- (announcer) Space Jam.
You've never seen anything like it.
- (Bugs) Mwah! - Ew!
- That can't be real for one reason.
It's cartoon! ♪ (vocalizes novelty tune) ♪
- Oh my gosh! (laughs) Memories.
I totally loved this movie when I was really young.
- (children) Question time!
- (FBE) Okay, so what did we just show you?
- A really old cartoon with,
I'm pretty sure it's like, Bugs Bunny.
- Looney Tunes and an athlete, they combine together.
I've never heard about it before.
- A trailer for an old cartoon.
I think it said something about Space Jam?
- Space Jam.
- Space Jam,
one of the only popular basketball/sports movies.
- It's Michael Jordan, who is really popular,
and Looney Tunes, which is really popular.
When you put them together, it just blows up.
- (FBE) This was a trailer for the movie Space Jam,
starring Michael Jordan. - That name rings a bell.
Okay, I know who that is.
- He has a shoe line, right?
- He was not the best actor.
But he-- it works.
- (FBE) He agrees to help the Looney Tunes
by playing a basketball game against aliens
who want to capture the Looney Tunes
and use them as entertainment in their theme park.
- It's a weird plot.
- Dramatic.
I love it.
- When you really think about it, it's kind of not so great.
- It's a good plot.
There's a problem, and I guess there's a solution.
Why would they be playing in a basketball game though?
That's just what I don't get.
- (FBE) So Space Jam was released all the way back in 1996,
which means we're celebrating its 20th anniversary.
- Really?
- Wow. That's a long time ago.
- That's why the quality was so bad!
- No wonder why I never heard of it. I was born in 2005.
- Does this look like a movie
that kids would still want to watch today? - No, not really.
- Kids are probably all on their phones anyway.
Like, they barely watch movies. They have YouTube.
- There's so much better animation now
that I'm not really sure that kids would want to see Space Jam.
- I'd want to watch it.
- Oh yeah. Kids would still like this movie.
- It's a classic. Everyone watches Space Jam.
It's a great movie.
It's better than a lot of the ones that come out today.
- (FBE) So now we're gonna give you a little quiz.
In addition to Michael Jordan,
there were other NBA all-stars of that time.
We're gonna see if you know them.
- I'm not going to get this right.
- I feel confident.
- Let's do this. Come at me!
- (FBE) Do you know who this is? - I don't know.
- I don't know.
-I don't know.
- I don't know him.
- I really don't know.
- A tough guy.
- I don't watch sports.
- Can you tell me what team he's on?
- Oh my gosh. I know this guy.
(sighs)
- Charles Barkley.
I watch so many old-school basketball games.
I study basketball, so this comes easy to me.
- See ya. See ya, see ya, I quit. I quit this.
- (FBE) Who is this? - Can you show me his back?
- Oh, I don't know.
- Mm-mm.
- I don't know who these are.
- I don't know that one either.
- I seriously can't guess all these.
- I'm horrible at basketball!
- (jokingly) Magic Johnson.
- Look the determination is his eyes.
Anyway, I do not know.
- Patrick Ewing.
- (FBE) And this guy? - Looks tall.
- No clue.
- I don't know.
- I really don't know.
- I have no clue.
- I really don't know.
- I don't know basketball.
- Frankenstein?
- (laughing) Who is he?
- I know him. He's, like, a German guy.
I'm blanking. I know this guy though.
- (FBE) And one more. - Um...
what?
- Yeah, I don't know.
- I don't know.
-I don't know.
- No idea.
- He looks familiar, but I don't know who it is.
- I don't know. But for some reason, I think he's pretty short.
- I know of him, but I don't know his name.
He's, like, one of the smallest people to play in the NBA, right?
- Let's forget about that question and move on to the answer.
I did bad.
- Muggsy Bogues.
- (FBE) Finally, it was recently announced that there's plans
to make a brand-new Space Jam movie, featuring LeBron James.
What do you think about that? - Oh, whoa, that's cool.
- I think it's gonna be awesome.
- That would be better, since it's new.
They have better technology. So that one, I'll probably watch it.
- Hopefully it's like a different plot.
- They're gonna have to come up with something new,
not just a remake of the movie.
- It shouldn't be LeBron James.
He's called the King,
even though there's so many people who can do the same thing.
- It takes away from the real Space Jam. No one's gonna watch--
actually, everyone's gonna watch the sequel.
They're gonna realize it sucks though.
They should've done Kobe. Why LeBron?
