Speaking of Wile E., Sam's big Space Jam moment was teaming up with Elmer to save the coyote with a Pulp Fiction parody. Unlike a lot of the more common characters, Sam stuck with Bugs he only appeared in one short without the rabbit. Bugs' original foe, Elmer Fudd, was seen as just a bit too dim for Bugs to face off against without seeming like a jerk himself. Originally introduced as a tougher, meaner opponent to harass, and be harassed in turn by Bugs Bunny. Now that most American animation is trying to emulate the Looney Tunes in general, and Chuck Jones in particular, the Chuck Jones Looney Tune that desperately wants to be anything but that style stands out today. Ironically, this has gained him an odd sort of fanbase more recently. An early Jones character, he was trying to emulate Disney's style, which was a bit too "cutesy" for the Looney Tunes. Remember when it was mentioned that Chuck Jones hated half of his own stuff? Well, Sniffles is part of that half Space Jam seems to concur, as he's nonchalantly squished by the nice Monstar. True to this characterization, despite the fact that he's one of the few characters who both starts and finishes the game, he's never seen actually scoring a point. Space Jam takes the characterization of the later Daffy Duck shorts, where he's a fairly talentless guy who demands the spotlight nonetheless, usually to his own detriment. One of the Looney Tunes' perpetual second fiddles, Daffy differentiates himself from the other sidekick of the series, Porky Pig, by actually being bothered by this. Wait - Does that mean Bugs Bunny was actually the true villain of Space Jam all along? He probably just wanted an excuse to play a game of basketball with Michael Jordan. However, as Bugs himself frequently pointed out, he could go along for a gag. Bugs Bunny was a big part of Chuck Jones' complaints about Space Jam he pointed out that Bugs could have solved the problems presented by the Monstars by himself in about five minutes, which to be fair, yeah, that sounds right. If, for some unearthly reason, you have no idea who Bugs Bunny is, well, you can read this. # 1 Species: Rabbit Team Co-Captain/Starter In Space Jam, Tweetie ultimately ended up in an Iron Lung, so he wasn't a major contributor to the victory. Tweety and Sylvester jointly share the record for the most Animated Short Oscars won by a Looney Tunes star, with two (which means they can share them) "Tweetie Pie" and "Birds Anonymous". His main feline rival, Sylvester, would be introduced later. Tweety first appeared in the 1942 Merry Melody short "A Tale of Two Kitties", along with his Looney Tune modus operandus of being "bird threatened by cat".

Here's the full roster of every character (animated or otherwise), who played against the Monstars in the movie's big game. The IMDB trivia page for Space Jam has a bare bones roster buried half way down the page (and it's very incomplete). Seriously, the Space Jam Wiki does not have a team roster.
#ELMER FUDD SPACE JAM MOVIE#
will be releasing a very belated sequel to the movie on July 16 of this year (both theatrically and on the HBO Max streaming service), and they usually don't do that if no one liked it (and, seriously, you can probably find someone who actually does like Space Jam very easily).īut despite the fact that the original 1996 website is still up (with the following link, this article is now in compliance with ancient Internet law stating that all articles about Space Jam must mention the original website), there isn't really a good list anywhere on the Internet that provides the complete line-up of the members of the Tune Squad, the Looney Tunes basketball team in the film. On the beloved side of the equation, however, Warner Bros. Flayrah's own coverage of Back in Action was not pro- Space Jam, calling it a "disaster". Joe Dante directed the next live action/animation hybrid Looney Tunes movie, Back in Action, and his stated goal was basically to direct the anti- Space Jam. It was notably hated by Chuck Jones, an animator famous for his work on the original Looney Tunes shorts, though, to be fair, Chuck Jones pretty much hated anything Looney Tunes that he didn't do himself, and also about half of his own stuff. It's possibly both one of the most beloved and most hated movies of the entire 90s. The 1996 movie Space Jam is about Michael Jordan playing basketball with a bunch of Looney Tunes.
