Space Jam (1996)

 I think it is generally under appricated just how strange a movie this is. Born of a series of early 90's Superbowl adds that teamed Micheal Jordan and the Loony Toons to sell Nike's, 'Space Jam' starts as a soft touch quesi biopic of the sports legend, that then intersects with a story about an alien amusement park attempting to enslave classic Warner Brother cartoon characters who live under the surface of the Earth. At times charmingly strange, it's still an exercise in synergy over substance. **
