''Which of you maroons has ever played basketball before?'' Bugs asks Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, Porky Pig, Tweety, et al. To which the WB guys in the accounting office are probably amending, ‘'Which of you maroons hasn’t bought the soundtrack and ancillary stuff to make this $90 million production pay off?'' That's us, the maroons. Enchanted by the brilliant special effects of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, spoiled by the genius of The Simpsons, nostalgic for the old-fashioned wise-guyness of Bugs, we turn to Space Jam and get…hustled: by faux subversiveness (Daffy kisses a WB logo on his own behind – ho ho!); by de rigueur pop-culture references (the Tunes work out to a
Richard Simmons exercise tape); even by the pleasant basketball stars themselves, who, thanks to effective dramatic coaching in the selling of soft drinks, have become perfect humanoid action figures.
