Every Cancelled Space Jam Sequel - Canned Goods
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 лип 2024
- Did you know that Space Jam almost had MULTIPLE sequels? They would have featured celebrities like Tony Hawk, Jeff Gordon, and a Mel Brooks inspired villain?
In 1996, Warner Bros began a near decade long period of trying to make a direct follow up to the original Space Jam. Other films, both cancelled and released, came and went along the way, such as Varsity Bugs, Back in Action, and an unmade Marvin The Martian project- though, for today, we're only focusing on the movies that were explicitly sequels to Space Jam- if it has 'Jam' in the title, we're covering it!
Today, we’ll be breaking down the development and cancellation of every unmade Space Jam sequel.
Enjoy!

I think spy jam is much better
@@antwon_arts why do you say that?
Ironic with Tiger Woods since he was featured in a Robot Chicken skit that's called the Golf Jam that features DIC characters.
SkateJam would’ve worked and be a time capsule if WB didn’t messup with Back in Action.
Couldn’t agree more man. Spy and Skate Jam were the ones that seemed like they could’ve had a lot of potential. Base Jam with Derek definitely should’ve been considered too.
@@robbyb3ll4s Derek who?
@@jordanwright2072 Derek Jeter
@@robbyb3ll4s oh.
@@robbyb3ll4s idk man, race jam might have been a good film, i like the idea of the looney tunes racing for nascar, no really, i do.
You got shots of my uncle's car everywhere during the Race Jam segment. Very cool seeing that Rum Bum Racing team again. It's been defunct for a few years now.
Oh, wow, that's awesome! I found the shots when I was sifting through stock footage. What a neat coincidence!
One way to make a potential Looney Tunes movie isn't the fact it can't work for a larger scale production ala a film, the problem is that it feels like their not hiring enough people who are passionate enough for the source material. Back in Action in my opinion is a very good Looney Tunes movie that semi-captures the charm of the original shorts.
However I'd watched another UA-camr who'd prolly pitched a good idea for a Looney Tunes movie, and maybe it should take inspiration from the newer Muppet Movies.
Have the Looney Tubes cast being no longer relevant or washed out (It can be set in the real world, similar to Back in Action) so desperate Daffy goes on a wild road trip to gather the entire group together to create a large scale sketch show.
I LOVE this idea!
Even with A New Legacy, it’s great to see the Looney Tunes back in the short-form format again. Who’s says that we can’t have shorts and a movie coexisting?
I totally agree with this sentiment. I just think it’s WAY harder for a long form format to work with the Tunes.
i always felt that the looney tunes show was a pretty good attempt at a long form reboot of the series and a pretty underrated sitcom as well.
the only part that i felt was weird about it was bugs being the straight man in it.
Looney tunes cartoons are coming out now on hbo max and Cartoon Network they just haven’t reached much success.
@@explosionmage Being on Cartoon Network and HBO Max simultaneously will surely let the series reach a broader audience. The show itself is so amazing!
@@explosionmage I can assure you that they will reach success with the new duel airing plan.
The weird thing is that I want to see Space Jam A New Legacy to succeed but at the same time I don’t want it to either, I want it to succeed so WB could relaunch the franchise again and could be a possibility into bringing 2D animation back again but at the same time I don’t want it to because of the dumb decision WB have been doing to this movie.
The Looney Tunes on film are a proverbial monkey’s paw. “Oh see this Looney Tunes movie that has a weird gimmick! Maybe we’ll make a normal Looney Tunes movie after!”
Thoughts on the cancelled Jam movies
The Original Space Jam 2: This just sounds awful, way too goofy/far fetched and looked like an obvious cash grab no wonder Michael Jordan didn’t want to do it.
Race Jam: Not really into racing but would’ve been cool to see the Looney Tunes suit up in race gear and race cars with epic car crashes.
Golf Jam: Again not really into golf but having Tiger Woods on the movie would make sense considering he is a very big name in the world of golf, and Spike Lee writing it could’ve given the movie possibly more of an edge with it’s humor.
Spy Jam: It would’ve been freaking amazing to see Jackie Chan with the Looney Tunes doing awesome moves and fighting techniques on the bad guys.
Skate Jam: This is my favorite idea out of the proposed Jam series, I like Tony Hawk and it would’ve been sick to see him Skate with the Looney Tunes with epic tricks and moves, it probably would’ve had an amazing soundtrack with a Pop Punk/Skate Punk soundtrack like the Tony Hawk video games. It’s really a shame that it never happened cause it could’ve been a goofy fun popcorn movie, but Tony Hawk did get to star in a movie… Tony Hawk’s Boom Boom Sabotage… yeah not a good trade off.
Conclusion: It’s really a shame that Looney Tunes Back In Action bombed so hard that WB cancelled everything Looney Tunes and gave up on them even resorting to rebooting them slightly in Loonatics Unleashed, while not all the ideas were good there were some that were really good and I would’ve seen. But let’s see how Space Jam: A New Legacy performs and hopefully the Looney Tunes will return permanently.
Maybe Space Jam will become a trilogy. Still i think i will base my opinion on if A New Legacy is good or not. It seems actually interesting by the clips i saw (which is surprising since the trailers and the commercials are dreadful)
I really like the second film. It wasn’t better than the first, but it’s not trying to be. That’s something I really took to heart.
@@zer0watch454 Why should it be better than the first?
I think that any of those ideas would have been great, except golf jam, I feel that the pace of the movie would have been too slow.
@@geckoo9190 Yeah it kinda would as the Game Grumps and Dan Harmon said “golf got taken over by not fun people.”
Skate Jam sounds like the most fun and sensical pitch. Not only was it the most exciting sport, but it would have captured the cultural zeitgeist of the era perfectly, being to the early 00s was Space Jam was to the 90s.
Not only that but we could have had some awesome pop punk/skater punk soundtrack

I cannot believe these view numbers are so low. This is a fascinating channel, thank you producing these.
Thank you so much! I love doing the videos and I'm glad that you enjoy!
What hurts is that Space Jam is Warner Bros. Feature Animation only financial success film on there list while the other movies they had been bombed by there poor marketing or being overshadowed at a terrible time with Back in Action as it's last one until Warner Animation Group kicked in with the Lego movie
Even if WB wants to revive them or not, I'm interested on seeing more live action/animated hybrids with 2D animation involving the Looney Tunes and going to different adventures together with a famous celebrity.
Shame they never did anything with the Bob Camp/Mel Brooks villain concept. The villain they made looked so cool.
probably for the better
@LarryLaffer Yes it is a shame. But you know if Space Jam 2 was made and not canceled I know a much better villain that I think should have been featured in it - Lord Halliban voiced by James Woods. He'd be like a Warner Bros parody of Haides from Hercules.
What do you think it would be like to see that character? Please tell me.
I never understand why Back in Action was a failure, his primise and story makes more sense than Space Jam
Ehm. Nah it's actually more absurd. Looney Tunes don't have to have any sense anyway
@Nightmare1398 Nah
Studio interference and the fact that Joe Dante made Looney Tunes: Back In Action the anti-Space Jam. It’s the same when he made Small Soldiers for Dreamworks and Universal Studios. That movie was basically the anti-Toy Story. But yeah the story to LT:BIA was just bland and focused too much on saying how many times the movie was “a spy movie.” I seen it in theaters and it was annoying hearing Daffy Duck refer to the movie as “a spy movie” and also the bland storyline with Brendan Fraser’s character. It’s like the stunt man storyline just felt like an on-going annoying joke that never went anyway but straight down to the floor smack dab. And the original ideas were way more fun and entertaining than what we got with the theatrical cut. And then the add-on storyline of an early 2000s James Bond movie that was just as goofy as the 2002 Pearce Bronson 007 film.
we applying gender to movies now?
@@scr0ngle108 Eh? Nobody is doing that, if that's the first thing you thought reading a "meh" translation to english, that's your problem
Back in Action May have underperformed, but I really like it, I personally think it’s a lot of fun. And BTW, I saw A New Legacy and it was a blast!
No and no
@@deadschooled That’s your opinion.
@@deadschooled yeah like come on
There’s alternate universes where one of
these space jam sequels happened and I wanna go visit each of them!!! 😱
Thanks to Robot Chicken, Tiger Woods had his Space Jam...Golf Jam. It was rented once on Redbox...........
It was returned on time
My ideas for a Space Jam 2.
Swackhammer returns one last time to take over the Tunes world with a new basketball team created by him, the Looney tunes and MJ has to stopped him before they're doomed.
@RabbitofSteel You know I think I got some better ides for Space Jam 2. Swackhammer returns and is teaming up with Lord Haliban, a most sinister and powerful villain this time to take over the real world with his team of underworld demons. So with the help of an English orphan boy named Andrew Sanders, the Queen of England and the British government, Michael Jordan and the Looney Tunes have to stop them before everyone on earth, even Michael's family are doomed.
What do you think of my ideas for Space Jam 2? Please tell me.
@@1997calvert Now that's sounds more interesting I like it, still I have no interest for Space Jam and rather think other ideas that's better than Space jam, like Bugs bunny fighting a criminal with a robotic arm for killing Lola bunny.
@@rabbitofsteel7492 Glad you love my ideas thank you.
What did you mean about a criminal with a robotic arm killing Lola and bugs fighting him for it?
and btw Lord Haliban is a Warner Bros parody of Haides from Hercules voiced by James Woods. What do you think of my character and voice from it? Please tell me.
@@1997calvert A dark gritty serious take on the Looney tunes series that I want to see, avenging the ones you lost and feels on what it looks like trying to moved on but can't stopped thinking of the horrible past.
Maaaaaaaan we missed out with the SPY and SKATE JAMS
So then how did WB actually not cancel the 2021 sequel?
If it has Jam in the title, we're talking about it! Which of the Space Jam sequels would you have wanted to see most?!
Did u steal this info from 3C cause this has never been talked about till a few days ago by 3C
I can't believe they never even considered a Soccer Jam movie. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world by far.
Not only it would have made WAY more money than Space Jam, but it would have made an entire generation of Americans care about a sport that is actually played outside their borders.
A Baseball Jam or a Hockey Jam would have no international appeal. Space Jam barely had it.
Totally didn’t steal it from 3C. All of this info has been floating around in various spots on the web for years. I saw 3C’s video come across my suggested feed and was worried people thought I was trying to copy him, to the point that I almost didn’t release the video. But I mean, talking about these Space Jam movies is too good of an idea for multiple people to not think of it.
I do apologise for accusing u of that
Well as long as it wasn't a new legacy I would have been happy
underrated channel.
Thank you so much, I appreciate the kind words!
Here's another Looney Tunes movie that was cancelled, it's called Varsity Bugs and here's what the film was about. Also, I want to credit UA-camr 3C Films for even getting in touch with Brian Lynch, who wrote The Secret Life of Pets, on Twitter asking him about the movie. Also why I'm crediting him is because that's where I got the information from, if you didn't know already, and also not to leave him out in any way. Anyway, here's what the movie was about.
So it's about Warner Brothers getting a new head of the studio and makes a new rule that unless they have a high school diploma, they are allowed to work at Warner Brothers. If not, you will have to go back to high school and get the diploma if you want to continue working at Warner Brothers. And that's bad for the Looney Tunes because... Yeah. So they go back to high school and meet up with a guidance counselor with this backstory: So essentially, it's like Michael Jordan in Space Jam where we see a young Michael Jordan wanting to become one of the greatest NBA players of all time, now what's different here is that he has a bunch of trading cards of all the best guidance counselors in the world and his dream is to become the greatest guidance counselor of all time! Anyway, back with that Warner Brothers head, while the Looney Tunes were in school, he tried to replace them with more cool, hip, CGI looking cartoon characters, who eventually meet up with the Tunes and, in a turn of events, actually like them and want to help out. Now here's some other stuff I want to point out. One running gag throughout the movie, we see that Keanu Reeves didn't graduate either, so he has to go back if he wants to make a new Matrix movie. And as we keep seeing him, he gradually gets geekier and geekier! Also the Nerdlucks from Space Jam, they appear in this movie as well, as accountants! Now one more thing to add, nothing really concerning the movie's plot is the fact that when Brian was writing the movie, he had the most fun writing all of Daffy's lines. Just wanted to throw that out there. Now that's pretty much all I remember about this movie, except for what happened. And for that... We don't know. Even Brian said it himself, he doesn't even know why they declined to make his movie. I guess it's just another typical Hollywood thing. Now if you want to find out more about this movie, I don't mean to advertise another UA-cam channel, but go to 3C Films, go to the comment section, and in his comment, you can see the link to where Brian Lynch shared to him the script of the movie and how it was like writing the movie.
Edit: Or... Maybe not the Twitter link as it doesn't seem to be working for me.
I think Berserk-o would have been a better villian than Al G Rhythm for the new Space Jam. He looks extraordinary, even with Mel Brooks was supposed to voice the villian.
You forgot about another cancelled Space Jam successor, Varsity Bugs, a movie about the Looney Tunes having to retake high school in order to get their high school degree so they can work for WB again. It reportedly would have a guidance consuler helping out the Tunes, even Keanu Reeves would cameo in that film, since he has to retake high school so he can continue doing his Matrix films.
Berserk-o would have been so interesting to see! I actually debated putting Varsity Bugs in the video, very briefly, but ultimately decided against it. I see Varsity Bugs as something closer to Back in Action than a Space Jam sequel. Since, at least in my mind, it rode the line like Back in Action does, I decided to stick only with the movies that either involved Michael Jordan or had Jam in the title!
@@HemmasStudios_ ok, Ive learned about the Varsity Bugs canned film from 3c films' canceled Space Jam sequels video.
@@nobod2567 So did I.
PLEASE do Wolfgang Peterson’s Batman vs Superman
I'm picturing something called "Pearl Jam" starring Eddie Vedder for some reason.
Do The Original Toy Story 3 or Spider-Man 4 as future videos.
I kinda want to see the looney tunes with Jackie Chan, I don’t know why😂
perhaps it has to do with the fact that he starred in a cartoon series named after him?
Imagine Monstars meet Jackie
Would all of these "Space Jam" sequels just be "the Looney Tunes need the help of some athlete to defeat some villain Bugs could easily take down on his own"?
If only they got rid of Jam portion of the name, because Jam is a term from back in the day, used for basketball, not other sports. Maybe they could've had a word having something to do with the Looney Tunes
What about Termite Terrence which was Joe Dante’s original plans before it became Looney Tunes Back in Action?
Termite Terrace WILL happen. And when it does it’ll be glorious.
@@HemmasStudios_ right because I thought you would have forgot about that
Damn! I would've loved to see Race Jam. Jeff Gordon was my favorite NASCAR driver as a child. Race Jam would be literally on "Shut up and take my tickets" ground.
The fact we didn’t skate jam pisses me off
why?
@@jordanwright2072 that movie would have been epic
@@terabitez3374 Why about Spy Jam?
I totally would have loved to see the spy jam film with Jackie Chan in it! I am a new subscriber to this channel! I just started watching it and you are doing a fantastic job! Keep up the good work!
I would’ve loved a Race Jam movie with Jeff Gordon. Oh well
so would i.
Hey, for what it's worth, Golf Jam at least gave us a pretty funny Robot Chicken sketch
The one we got should’ve been cancelled too
So... they did have options and still they picked space jam new legacy. Why?
Can you do a video on the cancelled spiderman 4 and amazing spiderman 3 please
Those are 2 movies I'd definitely LOVE to cover :)
@@HemmasStudios_
Yeah that would have been interesting if Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 5 showed Peter training Miles Morales, then ally with Sandman, Black Cat, Landlord's daughter and fight Morbius, Shocker or Rhino
You deserve way more views and subscribers!!
Thank you so much!
Only one I think might have had a chance of being good is spy jam. I could see the comedic styles working well off each other
why?
i would have loved to see spy jam
Same.
I cannot imagine how Jackie would have handle this since action is his thing
look like lost media
I would of loved stake jam
Can you imagine Skate Jam being a Looney Tunes/Jackass crossover?
It shocking that golf jam did came back as a robot chicken with the dic entertainment character.
are you gonna talk about Dreamworks Cancelled Musical called “Larrikins”
I’ve actually never heard of this movie- I’ll look into it. (Great profile picture, btw. I love Crash Bandicoot :D)
@@HemmasStudios_ Thank you for complimenting my pfp I can’t wait to see your next video 🤩🤩🤩
I cannot name any movie based on a commercial (other than the Ernest movies) that has been more successful. Back in the day Mad did an article called "If other sports figures made movies with cartoons" that's pretty funny! That Mel Brooks characters looks like he was drawn by John Kricfalusi, whom thanks to recent allegations will probably never be asked to work on children's film ever again!
I read somewhere that there was football type of sequel pitch
where?
Gremlins 2 had a looney tunes segment
Wasn't there also a planned Looney Tunes film that would crossover with Pokémon?
There was also a planned project between the Looney Tunes and Michael Jackson that eventually became Cats Don't Dance.
Skate Jam could potentially had the jackass crew as well, are you telling me we could've had stevo beefing with daffy duck?
I never considered this, and now I need this
Who the Crap thought Golf Jam sounded profitable? 😟
I want "Football Jam" starring like Cristiano Ronaldo or some shit haha
You know, looking back on making this video, during the part where I talk about sequels I'm shocked that they never tried, me not mentioning a Soccer based Space Jam movie is a real oversight on my part.
It’s super Ironic this was released after 3c films 🤔
I saw 3C’s video come across my suggested when I was finishing up making mine. To be totally honest, I almost didn’t put it out because I didn’t want anybody to think I was trying to be a copycat. Talking about these movies was too good of an idea for multiple people to not think of it. He beat me to it, but I liked how my video turned out, so I decided to put this one out!
@@HemmasStudios_ I’m not calling you a copy I just thought it was funny how similarly close together they were released
@@andrewgarrett3323 I didn’t think you were! The 2 videos existing so close to each other is a strange coincidence, for sure, though.
Would any of these have been any good? Probably not but neither is the original Space Jam. But I’m sure as a kid I would of still loved it regardless.
Spy Skate Golf and Race
They are making a third one with The Rock.
Yeah
Yeah i saw this before
@HemmasStudios I don't think any of those movies should be cancelled because I love those movies. I can imagine what it would be like if they were made. In fact here is my list of movies at Warner Bros that should have been made blended with animation and live action:
1 The Animaniacs Movie (in 1996) starring Robin Williams
2 The Tiny Toon Adventures Movie (in 1998) starring Dan Aykroyd, John Goodman and Rik Mayall
3 Spy Jam (in 2001) starring Jackie Chan
4 Tiny Toons Meet the Animaniacs (in 2004)
and 5 The Sylvester and Tweety Movie (in 2006)
Which movie would you love to see if they were made? Please tell me
Spy Jam :D
@@HemmasStudios_ Why Spy Jam?
I'd love to see the movies of Animaniacs and Tiny Toon Adventures. What do you think it would be like? Please tell me.
i would love a movie with Jackie Chan and Looney Tunes on it
Same.
Or Monstars meet Jackie
Also these are something what Muppets would do
YES TOTALLY.
@@HemmasStudios_ yeah and they’re very different from the Looney Tunes
7:46
The villains look like ren and stimpy
You didn't mention A New Legacy that came out in 2021.
Because A New Legacy wasn't canceled! :P
Picture Bugs Daffy Lola doing other sports beside Basketball like Soccer Golf Bowling Boxing Karate Taek Kwan Do Martial Arts Cricket Croquet Badminton Tennis Ping Pong Volleyball Baseball etc
Michael did the right thing. Just because the first one became a hit, doesn't mean the others can't! And making tons of sequels is wasted of time!
Why did people think any of this was a good idea?
Who wouldn't want to see Tiger Woods or Jackie in there meeting Monstars?
Can A new legacy count as the second iteration of space jam?
Yup! After a long road, a second iteration finally got off the ground!
hey Hemmas Studios do you watch UglyDolls 2019 was great movie but told you And Cancellation
Illumination UglyDolls To Story first announced in 2011 by Illumination Entertainment is Cancelled
I'll definitely look into it
@@HemmasStudios_ are you make to video Illumination UglyDolls Cancelled
Spy Jam Could Have Been Awesome

We did get Space Jam 2 and it was a high meh.
8:38
do original story of transformers 6 and transformers 7
I'll definitely look into it
Too bad there is no such thing as Swim Jam, I think the plot would centred around a female swimmer interacting with Looney Tunes, and make the film similar to Space Jam (1996).
Pit-ka
Unpopular opinion: Looney Tunes: Back In Action was the best film
Movie slaps hard
Ew tony hawk and tiger woods
what's wrong with them?
Literally a copy of the chris 3cfilms video about this topic which came out first😂😂💯 snd the varsity bugs info chris said he was the one to actually ask the movie creators about what it was gonna-be sou just seen his video and made the same one😂😂🙄
Yup. Totally. Caught me red handed. It’s not like other people have made the same exact joke on this video.
I teased this video in June. I WISH I had the ability to copy videos that fast. Ask anybody who actually makes videos, making a video like this is basically impossible to make within the 2 or 3 days between 3C’s and mine between the research, writing, editing, motion graphics, etc.
I almost didn’t release my video even though it was pretty much done because 3C put out his and I figured that people like you would accuse me of stealing the idea. :)
3c films
His video beat this one by, like, a day and I almost didn’t put mine out because of it even though mine was pretty much done.
Talking about these movies around the time Space Jam 2 dropped was too good of an idea for multiple people not to have it :P
Back in Action is trash
Nah I disagree
@@mediamuncher6982 because?
Ummm Jeff Gordon is 10 times better than both the Earnhardt racers
Bruh, I’m a 90s kid. The move is in no way a cult classic. It was critically panned for being terrible.
He copied this idea from 3C films channel🙄
Yup, totally. Caught me red handed. ;)
In reality, I’ve been working on the video on and off since June and I teased it in the comments of one of my last videos, like, 2 weeks ago. I wish I had the ability to copy content that fast.
To be honest, I never heard of 3C before his (excellent) video came across my feed a few days ago. I almost didn’t release this video because I knew people would tell me that I stole the idea, but my video was almost done so I figured why not put it out.
This was a total coincidence. The idea of talking about these movies right before Space Jam 2 was such a good idea, multiple people were bound to have it.
I’d never copy anybody because I know how long videos like these take to make. Period.
