Space Match and Looney Tunes Back in Action – dir. Joe Pytka (1996)
How many feature-length films are there with Looney Tunes? Not much, and the picture about the clash of the Amino team with monsters from outer space was the first in which Bugs and company played the lead role. But how does that have to do with the animation when Michael Jordan also shows up? Well, big, because also fans of fictional films can accuse us that this film is more animated. Fact, part of the action takes place in a crazy ACME land where Jordan is just a guest. But that’s not the point … The basketball duel became a cinematic phenomenon in the mid-90s and won the hearts of many young and old viewers. The placement of American basketball and the character of extraordinary heroes meant that the fame of Looney Tunes began to match the Disney characters, and solo series of amines began to appear in its wave.
Almost a decade later, another movie about crazy animated heroes appeared on the screens. This time the spy plot became the leitmotif. One point, however, was better presented: each character represented himself. Bugs played a dodger, a lucky guy, but also a faithful friend; Daffy self-centered with momentary empathy, the Martian Marvin was eager to destroy the Earth, Yosamite Sam ran a casino in the former Wild West, and Elmer was just hunting a rabbit.
