To everyone saying that they misspelled "Toon World" as "Tune World" at 3:37, it's because the original show was called "Looney Tunes", not "Looney Toons".
I would have called it Looney World instead. Hell, Acme World could have worked too. Since Acme has a lot of products in the Looney Tunes shorts, I could believe that they owned the entire world itself.

In my heart of hearts, I want this to be the thing that finally kills the obsession with nostalgia. But I know the truth; it's a sign of the end times.
Unfortunately it will probably make bank. Kids movies almost always sell well, it has a whole bunch of IPs attached and it has nostalgia value for millennials. Plus depending on how the vaccinations go we could all still be stuck at home come the release date, by which time parents will be desperate for new content to stream to keep their kids entertained.
And yet they'll do anything except actually make a film like a classic film. What's the point in filling star wars with non stop references to previous films if you're just going to just make it a marvel movie instead of Classic Star Wars
We thought that with all the dogshit remakes Disney have lazily made for the past few years, we’ll continue to hope it for the next 1000 ‘stalgia-bait movies to come, but we, deep down, know the truth.
*WB:* Pepe le Pew is an outdated character who represents the ill treatment and harassment of women in light of the #metoo movement, so we’re gonna remove him *Also WB:* let’s an actual r*pe gang cameo in their kids movie
@@michaelstrong5383 The Clockwork Orange bit is just a cheeky lil reference for the parents, so they can get distracted with thoughts of rape and violence instead of what is happening on screen.
What's the point in all these characters being there? It's literally just to drown the audience in so much nostalgia to the point that they can't even appreciate it. "Hey do you remember everything?"
At least the original feels like somebody made a simple Looney Tunes movie for kids of that era, slapstick humor and all. This clearly doesn't take place in the Looney Tunes world; it takes place in the studio's copyright world, full of character references a lot of modern kids won't understand or care about, and the Tunes are practically a side-note.
Also, getting sucked into the golf hole by Bugs Bunny's giant magnet actually fits the silly logic of the Loony Toon's universe. This looks like they said "Loony Toons but in the Tron universe".
At this point Warner Bros has literally made more movies with King Kong cameos (Lego Batman Movie, Ready Player One, Space Jam 2) than actual King Kong movies (Kong: Skull Island and Godzilla vs Kong)
"They made look a bit more like a child so you're gonna lose a bit in the American furry demographic but you'll gain in the Japanese anime demographic" -YMS on Space Jam: A New Legacy Trailer I'M FUCKING DEAD
@@lorddevilfish5868 Adam Wingard, should be lucky GvK was brain dead entertaining. People aren't gonna forget about that laughable adaptation of Netflix version of Death Note that make the japanese live action version look like a masterpiece.
it honestly would've been perfectly fine if they made it a similar to roger rabbit by having it completely filled with just cartoons like flinstones and animaniacs. adding all of these IPs seems like they don't think the space jam and looney toons themselves are enough to sell it
I bet they could have saved some time and money (and charm) by restoring old animations/cells for use as background characters, instead of making their underpaid workers render entirely new ones in 3-D. Oh well.
Bingo. You hit the nail on the head. Warner Bros remembers the movies that bombed when it comes to finances. Back in Action didn't earn enough for them, so they now assume that any Looney Tunes movie will be horseshit without shoehorning different WB franchises into it.
Imagine a WB executive going: "You know how we're gonna bridge the gap between fans of the original film and the new one? Put the Clockwork Orange lads in a crowd shot!"
At least in the first Space Jam movie, M.J. and the Looney Tunes played basketball against a group of aliens. What does the Don Cheadle A.I. and all this Ready Player One crap have to do with actual *SPACE???*
At least with the alien angle they still play it within Looney Tunes Universe, via Marvin the Martian, and keep it two different worlds but this cluster-fuck of "Ready Player Jam" makes the Tunes obscured in this. Don mentioned them as "Losers" so I guess they're going the "underdog story" route. But any intriguing themes that you can still extract from that, such as why the Tunes are still classic and stand the test of time even in this info-obsessed tech age, will be suffocated because this film in of itself is a info-obsessed tech product that will waste time check-marking the number member-berries than introspect why we remember them in the first place.
This movie's the equivalent of a slice of cake that's been doused with tea. It's crumbling and falling to pieces. The moment someone pointed out that Bugs has really shiny eyelids, Porky and Elmer look identical in CG and the sound effects, they became the most distracting shit I've ever seen.
This trailer reeks of producer and studio interference. "Throw in this, the kids love this right now, oh and marvel is hot right now let's get some super powers in there....etc."
Space jam had a lot of elements that you can tell the original animators/filmmakers threw in themselves that stayed in that wasn’t questioned. For this I’m sure it’s going to be test screened to death and end up being really bland
Hollywood needs to rely more on Lord and Miller for ideas. They're the only directors who could turn a bad, unoriginal concept of a film into something good.
@@michaelstrong5383 I would love to see more from them but it's far better in my mind to have very few high quality movies than to overwork them with uninspired garbage
I genuinely wonder if this is a 100% computer /procedurally generated script and they plugged in references from the previous movie and other Warner Brothers properties and clicked print
Somebody literally said "let's throw everything we got in the film" and then they actually did it. I guess the director was just happy to be working guy.
So far the only attention I've seen this movie get are weirdos complaining about Pepe's absence and Lola's redesign. Edit: Aight, movie's not as terrible as I expected, definitely seen worse. Don Cheadle was a little hard to watch during the first few scenes, the Goon Squad Character designs were...not good. (Golden dude was aight.) and by far The Worst part of the movie was WBs "Ready Player Oneing" the last 30 min by smacking their properties all over the background. But If i had to weigh it in, I'd honestly say its almost on par with the First Space Jam. I'm not gonna pretend The first one was amazing either, and they both were made with profit in mind (Micheal Jordan was the Star of the movie, ya gonna tell me WB's got him for his acting Chops, and not his Status as a NBA Allstar?) It's like a low 6 out of 10 for me.
Films with both live action and 2d animation don’t exist anymore. The last one I can think of off the top of my head is the first Spongebob movie. Nowadays when 2D animation comes to live action they turn 3D. I’m terrified to see what a Roger Rabbit sequel would look like.
The original Space Jam wasn't a cinematic masterpiece but it at least is a classic that was just fun in it's own right with a good style and humor to it. This is a clusterfuck of 'memberberries and showing off their products, glued together with really bad humor and no sense of real style.
And if people say the same thing about this one in 30 years, it may not mean that both movies are equally good but that people have gotten dumber. (I'm not sure which possibility is worse.)
Iron Giant has been relegated to appearing in these garbage member berries movies. I guess its better than being squandered with a shitty sequel or live action remake
The issue is it’s mainly just a “Hey we own this member this.” Movie which is bad on its own but also it’s trying to be trendy and base itself around the modern era so in 5 years or more realistically 2 it’s gonna be full of humor that won’t age at all unlike the original that went for a timeless story without shoving in too many trends
So the Iron Giant wasn't good enough to be the household name Brad Bird wanted him to be, but he was good enough to promote shitty Warner Brothers movies?
Out of this entire trailer the most distracting thing is the brief scene with 2d bugs, his eyelids are given very narrow high contrast reflective highlights. It makes it look like his eyelids are metallic. That looks like an actual honest to god error.
As good as Lego Movie is and my love for that movie knows no bounds, I fucking hate what it’s created. This is the 3rd time WB has made a movie where they use all their properties for memberberries
I don't find the 2D animation to be *that* bad (I've seen too many cheap flash cartoons to think that). It's a miracle to find any decent 2D in Western cinema nowadays, considering how many experienced traditional animators are no longer around. That in mind, I think the reason Lebron's animation looks so sluggish is because they added too many frames when his legs pop out. As a general rule of thumb: less frames = quicker animation. As for the 3D, the models don't look properly rendered, which makes me think they either rushed to meet the deadline or the execs just didn't care. I don't think I can justify the writing though, lol.
@@verbatim7508 I'm more annoyed by WB's inconsistency and obnoxious moralizing than anything. I don't really have any issue with the Droog cameo in of itself, but the hypocrisy is what I find irritating.
It is called hypocrisy, pure and simple. They already cleaned up Pepé Le Pew up, but that wasn’t good enough for people who never watched his cartoons. They went on a high horse in a might white suit scream to roof tops on how morel they for getting rid of a cartoon skunk who has been shown his behavior is inappropriate in recent years but let’s put in the droogs who rape and kill for fun. If they were really as moral as they say they were the droogs wouldn’t be in the film by the standards they set.
I can actually imagine the meeting held at Warner Bros before this movie began production. "Disney's raking in the cash from that Internet flick, and the Avengers movies are gold mines!" "Hey, yeah, let's do that with that one commercial we did in the 90s!" This isn't a movie. It's bright colours and glitzy fan service to pander to nostalgia. This just looks like one bloated, cluttered monstrosity.
Thinking about how the title is so generic made me want to write down better titles. Space Jam: Rebound Space Jam: Double Dribble Space Jam: New Court I'm not saying they're good, but the creators couldn't bother to add a basketball pun to the subtitle of the movie.
20:19 - Far right side of the screen, in the back. ...Is that Cheetara from Thundercats? Jesus, this is more like Ready Player One than Ready Player One was.
I don't understand why they insist on making garbage. It's always with the quick buck these days; no one cares about making a legacy for their works anymore.
Wait they have Don Cheadle abducting a little boy as the movie’s plot driver? What. And he threatens to keep him forever unless he gets beat in a basketball game??? Double what. I really want to know how we got here from cartoon aliens trying to trick cartoon animals into becoming park attractions for a ‘bigger’ Alien.
"Why would they make it look like a children's television show from 5 years ago?" I work in the 2d animation industry and can explain it simply: It's easier, cheaper and quicker to work with puppet rigs than frame by frame so you can pretty much kiss the old style goodbye except for one-off films. They won't have a ren and stimpy tier animated show ever again. You just get some skilled rigging artists in to build all of the characters then you can hand off the puppets to the animation team and even some junior animator fresh out of university can work on it AND you always have those assets. They never have to draw Rick Sanchez or Homer Simpson ever again except for potential redresses and costume changes. Almost every animated show works like this nowadays and we're not going back. People are unaware how expensive animation is (and it's so much less expensive these days compared to 20 years ago). 2d, 3d, stop motion...it doesn't matter what style of animation: It's practically a fully puppet based industry now, we're just living in it. ...having said all of that though the animation in this is hot garbage, they're not following any of the 12 principles of animation. The animation is so rigid with absolutely no squash and stretch. That's like working on a car and forgetting to add doors.
To everyone saying that they misspelled "Toon World" as "Tune World" at 3:37, it's because the original show was called "Looney Tunes", not "Looney Toons".

Yeah I feel like since the pandemic all the upcoming mainstream movies/blockbusters have an unbelievably limited acting pool

In my heart of hearts, I want this to be the thing that finally kills the obsession with nostalgia.
But I know the truth; it's a sign of the end times.
This trend feel as tiresome and lazy as the spoof movies of Friedberg and Seltzer.
Unfortunately it will probably make bank. Kids movies almost always sell well, it has a whole bunch of IPs attached and it has nostalgia value for millennials. Plus depending on how the vaccinations go we could all still be stuck at home come the release date, by which time parents will be desperate for new content to stream to keep their kids entertained.
@@videogamenostalgia I agree. And I'm sad. There is no other point to this reply. Only tears.
And yet they'll do anything except actually make a film like a classic film. What's the point in filling star wars with non stop references to previous films if you're just going to just make it a marvel movie instead of Classic Star Wars
We thought that with all the dogshit remakes Disney have lazily made for the past few years, we’ll continue to hope it for the next 1000 ‘stalgia-bait movies to come, but we, deep down, know the truth.

And people said the original was a soulless cashgrab... It's an art-house masterpiece compared to whatever this is.
At least the original feels like somebody made a simple Looney Tunes movie for kids of that era, slapstick humor and all. This clearly doesn't take place in the Looney Tunes world; it takes place in the studio's copyright world, full of character references a lot of modern kids won't understand or care about, and the Tunes are practically a side-note.

it honestly would've been perfectly fine if they made it a similar to roger rabbit by having it completely filled with just cartoons like flinstones and animaniacs. adding all of these IPs seems like they don't think the space jam and looney toons themselves are enough to sell it
I bet they could have saved some time and money (and charm) by restoring old animations/cells for use as background characters, instead of making their underpaid workers render entirely new ones in 3-D. Oh well.
Bingo. You hit the nail on the head.
Warner Bros remembers the movies that bombed when it comes to finances.
Back in Action didn't earn enough for them, so they now assume that any Looney Tunes movie will be horseshit without shoehorning different WB franchises into it.
That was the most corporate thing I've seen since The Emoji Movie
Imagine a WB executive going: "You know how we're gonna bridge the gap between fans of the original film and the new one? Put the Clockwork Orange lads in a crowd shot!"
At least in the first Space Jam movie, M.J. and the Looney Tunes played basketball against a group of aliens. What does the Don Cheadle A.I. and all this Ready Player One crap have to do with actual *SPACE???*
Cyberspace?
Disk space?
The space where your head used to be once you watch this movie, finally embrace the void and eat shotgun?
At least with the alien angle they still play it within Looney Tunes Universe, via Marvin the Martian, and keep it two different worlds but this cluster-fuck of "Ready Player Jam" makes the Tunes obscured in this. Don mentioned them as "Losers" so I guess they're going the "underdog story" route.
But any intriguing themes that you can still extract from that, such as why the Tunes are still classic and stand the test of time even in this info-obsessed tech age, will be suffocated because this film in of itself is a info-obsessed tech product that will waste time check-marking the number member-berries than introspect why we remember them in the first place.
The sound effect for Bugs taking a bite out of a carrot is really bad.
Did they lose the archived sound effects from the old cartoons?
Also, when Lola blinks near the end. The blink sound effect sounds way too forced for some reason.
This movie's the equivalent of a slice of cake that's been doused with tea. It's crumbling and falling to pieces. The moment someone pointed out that Bugs has really shiny eyelids, Porky and Elmer look identical in CG and the sound effects, they became the most distracting shit I've ever seen.
Lola in that one shot looks like that human-sized Sally doll abomination from Reddit.

"Wow. Dude, Humphrey Bogart!"
This trailer reeks of producer and studio interference. "Throw in this, the kids love this right now, oh and marvel is hot right now let's get some super powers in there....etc."
Space Jam in a nutshell.
Space jam had a lot of elements that you can tell the original animators/filmmakers threw in themselves that stayed in that wasn’t questioned. For this I’m sure it’s going to be test screened to death and end up being really bland
Warner Bros has been jumping on the cinematic universe bandwagon several times. This is only another attempt.
Critics shit on Tom & Jerry for “not capturing the spirit of the original cartoons” but it was way more true to the classics than this seems like.
That film was depressing but this looks like hell.
Weird how Lebron James goes back to a human but the grandma being technically human still looks like a toon in the real world
I think only Lord and Miller are capable of making good looking kids movies outside of Disney's soulless animation slave caves
Hollywood needs to rely more on Lord and Miller for ideas. They're the only directors who could turn a bad, unoriginal concept of a film into something good.

One basketball star I can think of who is surprisingly a good actor was Kevin Garnett in Uncut Gems.
It works because the Safdies know how to use their actors and he played himself in a minor role. It’s different for something like this
It's amazing how a basketball star is better in a film with Adam Sandler than in a film with the Looney Tunes.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in Airplane!
I genuinely wonder if this is a 100% computer /procedurally generated script and they plugged in references from the previous movie and other Warner Brothers properties and clicked print
That 3D animated scene with all the Hanna-Barbera characters looks like a VR chat server.
Somebody literally said "let's throw everything we got in the film" and then they actually did it. I guess the director was just happy to be working guy.
So far the only attention I've seen this movie get are weirdos complaining about Pepe's absence and Lola's redesign.
Edit: Aight, movie's not as terrible as I expected, definitely seen worse. Don Cheadle was a little hard to watch during the first few scenes, the Goon Squad Character designs were...not good. (Golden dude was aight.) and by far The Worst part of the movie was WBs "Ready Player Oneing" the last 30 min by smacking their properties all over the background. But If i had to weigh it in, I'd honestly say its almost on par with the First Space Jam. I'm not gonna pretend The first one was amazing either, and they both were made with profit in mind (Micheal Jordan was the Star of the movie, ya gonna tell me WB's got him for his acting Chops, and not his Status as a NBA Allstar?) It's like a low 6 out of 10 for me.
That and the fact they misused the Iron Giant again, plus the constant barrage of Warner Bros. properties chucked at you.
How did you misspell Don Cheadle as John Cheto?
@@caelmorgan6817 that is a really Good qeustion. I have no idea.
Films with both live action and 2d animation don’t exist anymore. The last one I can think of off the top of my head is the first Spongebob movie. Nowadays when 2D animation comes to live action they turn 3D. I’m terrified to see what a Roger Rabbit sequel would look like.
The original Space Jam wasn't a cinematic masterpiece but it at least is a classic that was just fun in it's own right with a good style and humor to it.
This is a clusterfuck of 'memberberries and showing off their products, glued together with really bad humor and no sense of real style.
And if people say the same thing about this one in 30 years, it may not mean that both movies are equally good but that people have gotten dumber. (I'm not sure which possibility is worse.)
The grandma scene looks like its straight out of hoodwinked
Adam slowly losing hope for humanity while seeing this trailer was hilarious
Iron Giant has been relegated to appearing in these garbage member berries movies. I guess its better than being squandered with a shitty sequel or live action remake
When I watched the trailer I thought is this a Space Jam sequel or Ready Player One?
It bugs me that he tries to skip forward a few frames on the timeline instead of just using the , and . keys.
The Mystery Machine? So there’s a chance Cool Cat could be in this movie?
18:21 I don’t know why but Lola’s face just looks like the Lasagna Cat costume
The issue is it’s mainly just a “Hey we own this member this.” Movie which is bad on its own but also it’s trying to be trendy and base itself around the modern era so in 5 years or more realistically 2 it’s gonna be full of humor that won’t age at all unlike the original that went for a timeless story without shoving in too many trends
I was kind of surprised how fast the directors name goes out, it's like if they didn't even want you to see it
The goon squad reminds me of that Futurama episode where they play basketball with a team of mutant “super atomic men”
They even both have a spider mutant
2:57 Wow! Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness looks amazing
Can't wait to see who they cast as Hoopz Barkley
Meyers Leonard
So the Iron Giant wasn't good enough to be the household name Brad Bird wanted him to be, but he was good enough to promote shitty Warner Brothers movies?
“So far it’s like ready player one”
Oh my god LITERALLY what I felt watching this trailer
Out of this entire trailer the most distracting thing is the brief scene with 2d bugs, his eyelids are given very narrow high contrast reflective highlights. It makes it look like his eyelids are metallic. That looks like an actual honest to god error.
I really like these trailer react videos, I wasn't planning on watching this trailer but Adum makes it interesting.
Yeah, I also loved his reaction to the shitty Cruella trailer.
As good as Lego Movie is and my love for that movie knows no bounds, I fucking hate what it’s created. This is the 3rd time WB has made a movie where they use all their properties for memberberries
The movie is actually going to start the fall of humanity. Everything else has been the prelude to Space Jam 2 and dystopia.
I don't find the 2D animation to be *that* bad (I've seen too many cheap flash cartoons to think that). It's a miracle to find any decent 2D in Western cinema nowadays, considering how many experienced traditional animators are no longer around. That in mind, I think the reason Lebron's animation looks so sluggish is because they added too many frames when his legs pop out. As a general rule of thumb: less frames = quicker animation. As for the 3D, the models don't look properly rendered, which makes me think they either rushed to meet the deadline or the execs just didn't care.
I don't think I can justify the writing though, lol.
11:58 makes the 3D models look like they're straight outta a GTA mod with how lifeless their eyes are
Wait did the robots in The Matrix program a *Hell* for the people in the pods? 😬
Damn, LeBron already stacking his team with Superman, King Kong, Gandalf. Jordan needed only Bill Murray and Newman from Seinfeld.

Apparently Pepe le Pew is too """problematic""" to be in the movie but a gang of rapists are okay to show.
@@verbatim7508 I'm more annoyed by WB's inconsistency and obnoxious moralizing than anything. I don't really have any issue with the Droog cameo in of itself, but the hypocrisy is what I find irritating.
It is called hypocrisy, pure and simple. They already cleaned up Pepé Le Pew up, but that wasn’t good enough for people who never watched his cartoons. They went on a high horse in a might white suit scream to roof tops on how morel they for getting rid of a cartoon skunk who has been shown his behavior is inappropriate in recent years but let’s put in the droogs who rape and kill for fun. If they were really as moral as they say they were the droogs wouldn’t be in the film by the standards they set.
16:32 They totally designed the 3D characters like that so they could put them as skins in Fortnite and other stupid games I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL
The Droogs in the back specialize in the in-out, in-out dribbling technique
I can actually imagine the meeting held at Warner Bros before this movie began production.
"Disney's raking in the cash from that Internet flick, and the Avengers movies are gold mines!"
"Hey, yeah, let's do that with that one commercial we did in the 90s!"
This isn't a movie. It's bright colours and glitzy fan service to pander to nostalgia.
This just looks like one bloated, cluttered monstrosity.
Thinking about how the title is so generic made me want to write down better titles.
Space Jam: Rebound
Space Jam: Double Dribble

I'm not saying they're good, but the creators couldn't bother to add a basketball pun to the subtitle of the movie.
20:19 - Far right side of the screen, in the back.
...Is that Cheetara from Thundercats? Jesus, this is more like Ready Player One than Ready Player One was.
I don't understand why they insist on making garbage. It's always with the quick buck these days; no one cares about making a legacy for their works anymore.
Wait they have Don Cheadle abducting a little boy as the movie’s plot driver? What. And he threatens to keep him forever unless he gets beat in a basketball game??? Double what.
I really want to know how we got here from cartoon aliens trying to trick cartoon animals into becoming park attractions for a ‘bigger’ Alien.
I cannot believe they included clockwork orange characters in a kids movie.
"Why would they make it look like a children's television show from 5 years ago?" I work in the 2d animation industry and can explain it simply: It's easier, cheaper and quicker to work with puppet rigs than frame by frame so you can pretty much kiss the old style goodbye except for one-off films. They won't have a ren and stimpy tier animated show ever again.
You just get some skilled rigging artists in to build all of the characters then you can hand off the puppets to the animation team and even some junior animator fresh out of university can work on it AND you always have those assets. They never have to draw Rick Sanchez or Homer Simpson ever again except for potential redresses and costume changes.
Almost every animated show works like this nowadays and we're not going back. People are unaware how expensive animation is (and it's so much less expensive these days compared to 20 years ago).
2d, 3d, stop motion...it doesn't matter what style of animation: It's practically a fully puppet based industry now, we're just living in it.
...having said all of that though the animation in this is hot garbage, they're not following any of the 12 principles of animation. The animation is so rigid with absolutely no squash and stretch. That's like working on a car and forgetting to add doors.
The scene of LeBron being sucked into the digital world makes it seem like this is the Warner Bros version of Kingdom Hearts.
