2008: "Why does the bunny have boobs!?"
2021: "Why does the bunny not have boobs!?"
Accurate.
2023: “WHY ARE THE BUNNY BOOBIES BIG ENOUGH TO FILL UP AN SUV?!”
@@HeilRay that sounds painful
@@Kimmy0721
Painfully thick milkshakes with the goddesses blessing.
@@HeilRay who's boobs are that big?
Oh, Nostalgia Critic. He was so young, so innocent...
Lab Matt Then came the duck tits.........
Dainn Greywall Woooooo!
Lab Matt Vintage NC FTW
Lab Matt I'm honestly surprised that there's still people on the internet who don't know furries are a thing, I would have thought he would have found the fandom in some way.
chawk hawk He does now. He regularly reads slash fic about himself.
"We've got B A L L S!"
~Sylvester the cat, 1996(?), taken completely out of context
Fletcher Reed Lmao, true I loved that moment.
We’ve also got a P Ness (insert Earthbound joke here)
😂
To me, Space Jam is one of those things you'd call "so bad it's good"
Harry Bennett, M.D nah. So bad it’s good is watchable. I gave this movie a try recently and I couldn’t get through half of it.
@@thatdudeuhate6649 I'm sorry for your life.
"WE GOT BALLS!"
STOP!! STOP !!
Aero Nine sooo...
no AC/DC reference?
As stupid as the movie is we all have to admit Space jam was the shit when we were kids and I still love watching it lol
TheTetsuHai I love it.
TheTetsuHai Amen to that. Take away the whole advertising scheme, I think we can agree as I quote James Rolfe when I say "It's strange, but original." More original than most sell out movies now a days.
Yeah dude. That movie's my childhood. Rewatching it anytime
Same
TheTetsuHai same. I think the concept’s fucking ridiculous, looney tunes, the NBA, and aliens together. But I love the movie.
"Bill! You still have a career to lose!"
Garfield: "Someone called?"
Really, I thought Bill was hilarious the best part of the movie.😆
People during Space Jam 1: LOLA BUNNY IS OVERLY SEXUALIZED
People during Space Jam 2: LOLA IS NOT SEXY ENOUGH
Yall don't know what yall want lol
Soon:Everything is canceled
SJWs and Anti-SJWs in a nutshell.
@@RSN_SGT_RENEWAL Nope.
>LOLA BUNNY IS OVERLY SEXUALIZED - literally no one said that, except NC
Who in the world was saying that for Space Jam 2?
I have to give Space Jam some respect because it actually got me into basketball.
Mighty Ducks got me into Hockey
Same here
Owen Kennedy same

This is the moment when critic learned about furries :D
Do I need to quote the actual definition, statistics on the sexual aspect, or are you just going to believe me by default when I say you're completely fucking wrong about what a furry is?
Well, ofcourse there are different types of furries, but what he learned is the rule34 side of the furfandom.
You do realize furries are people wearing coustumes.
@@237schibe_ Wait, really?
Man, here i thought there are actually some anthromorphic creatures going about their business on planet earth?
@@Mazaroth I was being a smart ass
Love it or hate it, the space jam website has remained unchanged since 1996.
Also, Danny Devito ❤️
and Newman from Sienfeld
😳
Fun Fact: Legendary Animator Chuck Jones hated "Space Jam" since it's release!
Really? Wow! 😳😳😳
Why?
I can't really blame him
@RiccoCanipe
Fun fact: he also hated who framed Roger rabbit.
@@olddogmaster6643 why?
7:15 I aint even gonna lie I had the biggest crush on Lola as a kid ahhahahahha
*****
And YOU do realize that the youtube messaging system suck donkey balls, right? O_O
Everyone did!
Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+JaxBlade oh please. I used to have a crush on Kimberly from Power Rangers
I actually liked Roxanne from Goofy Movie, but probably because she mostly looks human except for her nose.
I loved this movie as a kid so you'd expect me to be butthurt by this review. But actually, seeing a grown ass man trying to review this movie from an adult perspective is fucking hysterical.
Same
Same here. This is a childhood favorite of mine, and will always hold a soft spot in my heart. But as far as someone trashing it in a review, well, Sticks and Stones.
That's why most of his videos are funny
The Clown Prince of Crime wow
Even when I liked a movie he's shitting on, his reviews of kids movies are just fucking hilarious. Like James and the Giant Peach (to be fair he liked that one a lot more than this, and acknowledged that it's mostly considered to be good), I loved that movie but haven't seen it since I was a kid, and never really thought about just how much of that movie is completely fucking nuts and unexplained.
_sees Lola's redesign for the new Space Jam_
rest in peace, bunny boobies
*(Why would everyone want to frick a rabbit?!!)* -NC
I just hope they keep her personality.
After the first Space Jam, she quickly devolved from fierce tomboy to dumb blonde.
The dumb character is hilarious, but the original personality works better for Space Jam.
Ew.
69th like.
You acselly have a good point there
This review is so old we got a sequel of Space Jam.
Rabbits aren't sexy?Are you forgetting about Jessica Rabbit?
Jonathan Rogers XD
She's a human who married a rabbit. But, that means that she wants to screw rabbits.
And Judy?
Bryan Egelhoff's Animation Tech Nation oh god BEASTALITY!
Oh, ha ha ha.
The part that made me laugh was when Sylvester said "We got balls" and you said "STOP STOP"
Mineta:"She wants to know about my balls!"🤤
Yaoyorozu: 🤢
8:07 did they beat the s*** out of granny?!
My favorite part of the video
Not gonna lie I enjoy space jam, and while this may been one giant ad, it also took it one step further by actually telling the parts of the true story of Michael Jordan‘s career.
Lola is the reason furries exist.
+Crackhead McGee One of the reasons.
+NotAssigned its because the internet's existence brought imbeciles... To publicize and promote their porn and lust. And now just about everyone tries to be like that.. It makes me sick
Nah, Sally Acorn (As the Critic put it, "The face that launched a thousand furries) was around well before Space Jam.
Hanna-Barbera's Cindy Bear (initiated in 1959 as a Yogi Bear-pursuing gilling flirt, before being refined in 962 into a Southern belle type, something WB themselves in Foghorn leghorn shorts with nerdy hen Prissy did..hmmm..Prissy and Eggbert, two WB Foghorn costars who were nerds...)
Crackhead McGee To me, Lola, Princess Sally, Cleo Cat from Cadillac Cats, and Minerva Mink helped start the furry sensation.
When Space Jam came out I legit though that movie was the SHIT. I loved it so much. My five year old self could not get enough of it. I even had my own Space Jam basket ball outfit. I recently watched it with my cousin and still loved it (even though at nearly 20 years later I can esaily tell how bad it is now) and I still love it. Its just one of those horrible things that brings back so many joyful memories and I just can't hate it. Regardless of what I do.
Nate Same here bro! xD
Nate Lol, I had a Space Jam jersey, too. I haven't watched the movie since I was a kid because I loved it and know full well that it won't hold up.
+Nate I took it one step farther. Bought me a replacement jersey a couple years ago when I rediscovered this movie.
yup
I requested and received the soundtrack for Christmas and spent the next year with it on repeat. COME ON AND SLAM, AND WELCOME TO THE JAM!
If Billy West did that entire plot summary in 1 take, I am impressed.
1:55 Yeah, this line is blatant product placement, but it's still weirdly funny to me because he just listed off every single one of Jordan's sponsors in one sentence.
"Rabbits aren't sexy, rabbits are .... food!"
and then, Zootopia came (?
Don't forget Carrot from One Piece lol
_"and then, Zootopia came..."_
as did Lola's fanboys.
Ku Dastardly you know what lola bunny kinda looks like britney spears when she was 17
& Furry fandoms
And then came Jessica Rabbit from Who Framed Roger Rabbit. I’m only kidding...don’t send out the bloodhounds.
I'm from the future, and the critic didn't survive the SpaceJam 2 with Lebron James
WonderCookie , I believe you .
I'm also from the future, the year 3173. I come with troubling news..... The Simpsons are still airing... And it's nearly wiped out humanity...
Man this comment is dated
I am also from the future!. from the year 2021, and I survive Space Jam 2 with Lebron James!
It's 2021 and this is actually happening this year.
I mean... I can't be the only one who had a crush on Lola Bunny as a kid, right?
Well considering that now your a grown up adult you should realize she is a rabbit.
God I hope you're the only one.
@@EnclosedPoolArea Yea, because I'm sure you were god's little pure one as a kid XD
@@wildrabbit2237 maybe not but I wasn't attracted to animals
@@EnclosedPoolArea If you look at Space Jam Lola Bunny and think she was designed as "just an animal" then you are 3 leagues deep in the religious Kool Aid

And fast-foreword to 2016's Zootopia with Judy Hopps.
"Rabbits aren't sexy"
Well this movie did come out before Zootopia so....
They still aren't sexy.

7:34
I was actually gonna say, “What about playboy bunnies?”
I always loved the scene where numan says put on your hanes eat your wheaties and well get a big mac.
Truly a beautiful masterwork of selling out to your corporate masters.
As a 90s kid, i am obligated to have a soft spot for this movie.
Lola Bunny aka playboy bunny for kids
You do realize, also, she debuted the same year as a certain canine diva... What movie was she from again...? Oh yeah... ADGTH 2...!
Lola makes me think wrong things.
Things I shouldn't do to bunnies.
One of my guilty pleasures of the 90s plus the soundtrack is awesome!
That R. Kelly number brings tears to my eyes.
Yeah but That doesn't mean that was great, It Still An Low Budget commercial-like HorseShit
Joshua Gonzalez Yeah but I'll take diamonds in the rough where ever I may find them.
Damn Right.
My favorite songs of the soundtrack are: I Can Believe I Can Fly from R. Kelly, Fly Like A Eagle from Seal, also the best rap all star rappers for the Monstar Anthem. It was a incredible soundtrack though. I hope Warner Bros will make a redemption soon because Disney is winning and their studio is losing. BTW, Lola Bunny is damn sexy, Critic. Fun movie though.
4:18 To be honest, if there's one thing Space Jam has taught me, it's that the Looney Tunes don't always have to be funny to make a good movie.
"so all of the looney toons characters: Buggs Daffy Taz Hoe and so forth" - i mean this is the best quote of all time
COME OUT AND SLAM
AND WELCOME TO THE JAM!
Hey...
If he gets a reply I want one too :(
It doesn't always happen.
(megalomania plays) AND WELCOME TO THE JAM
Holy shit
"In what insane asylum is this considered a good movie?"
Reddit
What're you talking about?? Reddit hates this movie.
Still better than anything Michael Bay has directed!
thehoosierfortheUK Uhhh that's being to cruel to Michael Bay now anything Aaron Horvath made or the shows Seth McFarlene made after leaving Dexter on the other hand.......
+Cadel Fowl NO ONE likes the movie
slam jams are good shit though
I never see this talked about in r/movies (maybe it was 4 years ago? I wasn't using Reddit then) I could see it being talked about in subreddits about 90's stuff or just general nostalgia related stuff though.
Space Jam was one of the movies that defined my childhood.
Sorry to hear that
My sincere condolences.
@@EnclosedPoolArea back at you
@@desuretard8654 back at you
@@SuperMoviemaster21 hoo u
I had one of the most awkward dreams recently that Kath Soucie the voice actress came into this store I was working at and asked me about some item we had in stock. She's super sweet and nice and I'm all nervous and sweaty being around her, and even when I clear my throat and try to act and talk all hard and manly, she giggles and says I'm really cute.
Michael Jordan's still a much better actor than Shaquille O'Neal.
+Vader's Ghost steel a superhero movie about a guy in a metal suit
Vader's Ghost And Kazaam.
+xtreme4thelols you mean plastic
Thats because Michael Jordan was acting like himself. Shaquille O'Neal was trying to act like someone else and it didn't work.

"We don't want to fuck Bunnies!"
Tell that to rule 34...
That's the Internet for you!
Why does it exist
DramaHateNation Well, it's the people who make the fan art and the art hemselves that suck balls, not the entire furry community
DramaHateNation It's still annoying, rather if it's small or not
10:27 "what were they thinking?"
The Nerd saw the Critic here
Looney Tunes started in the 1920's, not the 1950's. And Space Jam rules.
So I hear there's gonna be a Space Jam 2 with LeBron.
Those rumors have been around for years. It's not gonna happen.
+Nieru it's been confirmed
Wanna borrow my cianide pills? Haven't used them yet (obviously)
I'm actually curious to see how this turns out.
And that Justin Lin (director of Fast Five and Star Trek Beyond) is in talks to direct
in the movies defence they did turn the tables on the cartoon in real world gimmick hence bringing michael Jordan to their world, plus the colors were pretty good for the most part.
5:46 Only one man would give me the raspberry... Lone Star!
Jokes on him. This movie got a sequel that's coming out in 3 days.
Tbh...the first one is still dumb , but funny dumb.
Still dumb
Well this movie not suckss
@@KillerKondom pretty much the 2nd too, but the 1st has more charm imo.
@@philipb7400 true. For people growing with it (like me), it was a fun movie. Great soundtrack. Cheap ass 90s lines, mostly great soundtrack...
The new movie just feels like forced nostalgia shoved up in our mouth.
But its aimed toward kids i guess so... Im not the target audience for this
I think it's clever how Marvin was the referee. Since he was both a Looney Tune and an Alien, he had ties to both sides, so he wouldnt be biased.
WE'VE GOT BALLS!!!
I LOVE BALLS!
Good for you.
Grannie: SYLVESTER!
7:55 HOLT SHIT THIS IS FUNNIER THAN THE ACTUAL MOVIE
7:21 This guy just predicted furries
Funny how Doug got so much hate for this review. I have fond memories of Space Jam, but even I have to admit that a lot of it is pretty dumb.
_Nooooo._ how could a movie about animated comedic characters crossing over with real life athletes in a basketball game against aliens be anything other than the height of culture? why something like that would be the talk of high society for _eons_.
Shiverwar Say, you called the critic Doug. And in this movie, Bugs Bunny is voiced by Billy West...
@@Wertsir Its not because of the concept but rather because of how it was written.Did you even watched the review or you just came here to throw hate to anyone that admits how bad space jam is just because they ahve a different opinion than yours?
Critic didn't know about furries back then
My thoughts as well.
"Get your Hanes on, lace up your Nikes, grab your Wheaties and your Gatorade; we'll pick up a Big Mac on the way to the ballpark."
TOO SUBTLE!!!!!!!!
Pretty sure that was tongue-in-cheek; go get some fresh air.
@@PhoenixRising87 Oh I do.
I know it's terrible, but it holds a place in my nostalgic heart.
"People who want to fuck bunnies isn't a profitable demographic"
So what do you guys think about the Five Nights at Freddy's movie coming out?
theguyinblue2 It's a movie based on a game. If that's not a bad omen in itself, then I don't know what is.
theguyinblue2
Kids will love it because it's a "scary" movie that their parents will let them watch (better not be rated r but it's warner bros so yeah), there will be lots of reviews of it too, probably from a lot of the same people doing let's plays of the game. Might be popular among teenagers too but I expect that the tension won't translate well enough into a movie (since dying won't make a person start any of their progress over) for them to be impressed. Especially teenagers that have parents that let them see movies that are rated r.
Never been a fan of horror myself so I don't have much to compare to, but I've heard people are enjoying something called the Walking Dead, that seems like it would be hard to top by FNaF, though I've been a bit surprised by FNaF's reception by teenagers in the past so I could be wrong.
But yeah, I was a bit surprised by the Critic's bewilderment about Lola. And yeah, it worked for more people than would probably care to admit. Well, kids anyway. But I guess that is his point.
+theguyinblue2
Kinda ironic how it's being made by THE SAME COMPANY...(Warner Bros.)
+MEMEMEMEMEMEVMEMEVVEEMVEVMEEMVE MEVMEMVEMVVMVVEEVM Translate pervert into Japanese, put five nights at freddys behind the result, and search that. Have a fun time.
Well I really like this movie, I saw it about 2 weeks ago and I still love it but... here is one thing.
First of all I'm not american so I never knew about all commercialism and shit. Also in the translation, michael doesn't sound as dull, in the latin american dub he sounds with actual emotion also the looney voices as classic as ever.
Another thing is that they never say McDonalds and all these brands, they just say burguers so that's some other good point.
The part of the end... the basketball game is sooooooo fraking awesome for me... it's the best!!
About the guy who appears in the end... I didn't have any idea of who he was and event today I don't have any idea of who he is, he is just a random guy that appears.
About Lola Bunny.... yes... she is a sex symbol... I don't like furry at all but I'm sure there is people who likes it but another thing is.... Bugs looks like a person too most looney toons looks like persons. Antropromporfic animals simple as that and what are the characteristics of females? Eyelashes, their waist and hips and boobs. Thats's simply it. Even disney in their classic movies do that. The cats even though they look like cats have eyelashes and a somewhat "bulky" "chest" so... it was normal for a bunny girl to look like that.
I like the movie this is my opinion and my point of view. My counter-review of this review or something like that xD
you and i bro
Apparently you haven't seen Ghostbusters
I also watch it in spanish but i didn't know the other arguments, and they are really good!
Edited the bullshit away. Anyways, did they try to make them sex symbols?
l1o2q3u4i5n la he visto fácil unas 200 veces xD amo esta película
Space Jam really just didn’t cease to amaze me.
7:07
I could barely remember when saying this would sound normal instead of silly
God how low we’ve come.
There is going to be a sequel with Lebron James. No joke.
Oh find me in the alps!
Must be.

OUR PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED
Too late, College Humor beat you to it :P
You're 100% right. But I still like this movie lol
I like how the thumbnail shows Sylvester, Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, Taz, Tweety and Michael Jordan trying to prevent you from throwing a Space Jam DVD box in a trash can. XD
I hated space jam as a kid.
I loved basketball, but I hated how many fouls the MonStars got away with…
Marvin the Martian is a sorry referee there were so many uncalled fouls
There were no fouls. Only thing there was is pretty much out of bounds.
...and with warner bros' creation of a sexualized anthropomorphic rabbit, came the dawn of a new age for furries everywhere. At this time, Disney has taken advantage of the situation. MIND FUCKS ALL AROUND!
Hieroglyphics made furries first
I am a robot, blarp. but lola started the dawn of a new age!
or
Or
OR
People like anthropomorphic animals as an art style... Robin Hood was released before Space Jam
Damian Kortus Believe me... I KNOOOOOOW... the internet is a beautiful place... But seriously, my friends call me a closet furry for appreciating certain forms of art. There is a comic on this topic that really represents the struggle. I'd send you a link, but the website it is on is questionable at best.
***** but of course
NC: Why would anyone wanna f@$k a rabbit!?
Me: You are clearly unaware of the furry fandom.
Space Jam was a part of my childhood. Growing up in the 90s through 2000s there are parts of my childhood I miss.
There are times that I wonder if The Nostalgia Critic exists solely to sh!t on my childhood.
Well...kind of yeah...
He doesn't shit on your childhood nostalgia. he critiques it. that's why he has the name.

*THE WORST PIECE OF COMMERCIALIZED HALF BAKED HORSE SHIT THAT’S EVER HIT THE…….*
As a little child i loved this movie, and growing up i never really questioned that -or thought about it too much.....until i actually watched it as an adult a couple of years ago! I was initially eager to rewatch it after all these years, but very soon i got genuinely SHOCKED with how unfunny and awful it actually was! :/ I always thought that, even as a child, i had a good taste in movies/cartoons...until Space jam and......wait fot it......Batman&Robin. Oh MY God!!! In my defence i was very-very young when i watched them. Still embarrassing.
Princess Leia As the years went by Space Jam was a guilty pleasure in my teens, so was Batman and Robin, but now that I'm an adult I now legitimately hate both movies. I still enjoy Batman Forever though.
Princess Leia space jam might not have had a decent story but animation wise it was well done, merging real life and animation decently
Princess Leia Idk what you're talking about Space Jam is still amazing.
I liked Space Jam as a kid. Yeah as an adult it's obviously a bad movie and a shameless money grab but it was a guilty pleasure of mine as a kid. I never bothered to see the 2021 sequel with Lebron James because I sincerely doubt it has anything to offer me.
Still freaking love space jam
Oh my god,who the hell cares????
6:37 there goes the entire furry porn industry
Hopefully he does an episode on Space Jam 2
I may be blinded by nostalgia, but Space Jam is awesome.
Don't worry, my girlfriend has 22 and I made her watch it, she really liked it.
Yay someone else likes this movie
I like it too! My favorite Looney Tunes Movie with Back in Action as a runner up.
Also liked it too.

@@harrypotteryescaillouno45 what shes so anojing crazy stalker and never shuts up
I grew up watching Looney Tunes and when this movie came out I was like "why have I never seen a Lola cartoon?"
Its a guilty pleasure for me. And I love the scene with the fortune teller who tells them exactly the true but it sounds so ridiculous they can't possibly believe it
A guilty pleasure from my childhood.
I love how half of the comments hate on furries
And 30% bronies
WhoAreYouCallingPinhead69 the Bronies are worse (than Furries)

"WE'VE GOT BALLS"
Grannie: SYLVESTER!
"I love basketball, who doesn't?"...me
Even if the story made no sense, and Lola was admittedly a sex symbol (Not the first character to be controversial), I still found Space Jam funny and enjoyable. While I have come to notice the bad acting and disturbing moments, I don't think it was promoting bestiality or ruining childhoods. It was just a big, silly mess that kids watched because... IT'S BUGS FREAKIN' BUNNY. It was also the first live action Looney Toons movie, which was exciting for many at the time, including me. In the end, Space Jam earned its place as both one of the weirdest animated films of all time and, ironically, the highest grossing Basketball film to date.
+Zach Pearce If they can do anything in their universe (stretching limbs, surviving explosions, etc.) then, other than it not being the "Looney Tune way", why didn't they just comedically beat up the aliens and send them packing? I mean, hell, Yosemite Sam, Elmer Fudd, and Marvin the Martian try to kill the other characters on a daily basis. The chance that your entire race will be enslaved by some creepy aliens should elicit some type of angry response. I just think it'd make more sense than, "I challenge you to a game that neither of us have every played forcing us to bring in a human who has less power in our world than we do." Other than that I fucking love this movie, dood!
Who framed roger rabbit came out first, and was a live action blended with animation movie with Warner bros and Disney characters.
@@southsidesaiyan8641 That's true, credit where credit's due. But Roger Rabbit wasn't technically a "Looney Tunes" movie, nor was it advertised as one (Not saying you claimed or implied that, just pointing it out). It had characters from that universe in it, but they weren't the focus and are given very little screen-time from what I remember.
Space Jam was marketed and sold as the first major theatrical Looney Tunes experience, with Michael Jordan's star power at the time enhancing said marketing value. The plot may revolve first and foremost around Jordan's basketball career, but it's still a Looney Tunes movie even if the film doesn't open on them. That's rather obvious from the get-go.
Jordan's story was only ever a vehicle through which to follow their narrative + an excuse to incorporate the basketball iconography for celebrity value. Even in the original Nike crossover commercials from which Space Jam's concept originated, Bugs was more of a draw to most kids on average than Air Jordan (because, again, it's Bugs freakin' Bunny).
The difference in quality also contributed to its impact, as no prior Warner Bros. production had put this much effort into animating these characters for the big screen. Roger's animation was good for its time, but this was far and away the best the Tunes had ever looked up to that point. Put it this way: You could have Roger Rabbit without the Tunes.
You could cut them out entirely if you wanted, and the core story would still work overall. That's not true for the Space Jam films, as the overwhelming majority of kids and parents who saw them came for the characters more so than Jordan or James (I myself didn't even know who Jordan was back then, but I knew most of the Looney Tunes).
"I love basketball"…that's something he never really expressed afterward. I mean yeah he grew up in Jordan-era Chicago but you and Rob seem more like hockey guys more than any other sport…am I just not paying attention enough?
I have the same feeling. I remember that in a commentary episode (maybe a Siblings rivalry) Doug wasn't able to recall the name of the Air Jordans and Rob burst out saying that was inconceivable because he grew up in Jordan-era Chicago. Because of that and a few other basketball related inaccuracies that Doug made over the years I got to think that basketball hasn't had a big impact on him. And this is somehow a big deal considering that he was right there when one of the greatest sport stories ever happened took place.
And nostalgic critic thought this was the most commercialized movie. Lol
8:17 she fought in world war II Stated in the Looney tunes show
I freakin love space jam, call it nostalgia but nothing will ever make me dislike space jam.
Me too
He's a dick
Daniel Mihalko me too I’ve loved Space Jan since I was a baby
To be honest, I did like Space Jam as a kid. But, like most things I liked as a kid, it does have some problems looking back on it. It is still a decent movie, but I do still realize it wasn't what I recalled it being. Also it's probably the main reason I'm a furry so there's that.
@@miguelgomez6891 No,the dick here is you for insulting peopel just because they have a different opinion than yours you freakin nostalgic fan.And i dont know what do you mean with him being a "dick",he brought up very valid points and arguments while your only argument to defend this bad movie is simply offending people.You like space jam?Fine,but dont start blaming other people for having a different opinion than yours.And if you seriously whant to argue that space jam isnt a bad movie then bring up actual facts amd evidence.
and as for the furry fetish around Lola...well that was different
I actually really enjoyed Spacejam as a kid
Same.
These guys in the executive office, reading the market feedback for the movie that reads, in its entirety, quote: “We don’t want to fuck bunnies”
As a naive, easily amused kid, I adored this movie but in my teens I sold it at a yard sale after realizing how dumb it was XD
Bro same
i dont care bro. as a kid, i loved this movie. it wasnt that funny, but hella entertaining
Compared to the sequel I'm guessing this movie looks 100 times better right?
He rants about how the film presents Lola Bunny as a "sex symbol", with one complaint in particular addressing her "bunny boobies". He severely underestimated how popular Lola was in (and even outside) the Furry Fandom: when the sequel to Space Jam was announced many years later, one of the most prominent complaints was about how Lola was redesigned to be Tamer, including removing the aforementioned "bunny boobies".
At this point Doug didn't really know what furries were.
Literally what I'm thinking!
@@PlanetZoidstar Not all furries jerk of to cartoon animals. This i straight up beastiality and its gross.
Complaints by paedophiles and sexual deviants who the movie isn't aimed at. It's a children's movie.
@@EnclosedPoolArea If its a children's movie then why did they feature a sexualized rabbit? And before you pull out Jessica Rabbit, keep in mind it was ok for her to be sexualized as she was a human. Lola in the other hand is a rabbit, making it straight up beastiality.
