Same I was 7 when this came out and it was a huge deal. It's sad that they don't make movies and great soundtracks like this anymore going to the movies use to be worth it.
This was such an original idea for a movie. The intro was pretty lit for kids back then. Every kid loved Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny. It was the best of both worlds.
@@Gundam4 Take a look at all the other movies. Parasite, The Father, Avatar (a while back but still good), etc. Originality is at the same level as the 90's, in that there was still lots of it but lost in certain aspects in some movies.
And indeed it was original one-of-a-kind movie that should have stayed as such. Original these days are waning. Take a look at Disney they lost all sense of creativity
This opening did more for kids believing in themselves than anything taught in schools. The footage of Michael evolving over the years were a promise that you can do anything you set your mind to.
I thought all it took to be MJ was shooting in my back yard at midnight. One time I got up at midnight grabbed my basketball and headed to the back yard to go shoot. Soon as the lights popped on it was 3 raccoons by the basket. I ran back in the house...I work in insurance now.
@@tribalation I thought he would atleast make a cameo. That reference was funny with Michael B Jordan I have have admit. I dont know how to feel abou the new movie to be honest. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, but it definitely wasn't good either.
I saw it when i was i kid ( i born in 2005 so im not from the time this movie went out) and i was very excited seeing this mpvie with that fantastic song 😎
@MANCHESTER UNITED F.C First of all, no one asked. Second of all, no one gives a shit. And finally, keep living in them little fantasies of yours kid, basketball ain't going no where buddy, keep living in fairy tale land where you think soccer will be the number 1 sport in America. 🤣🤣 FUCK SOCCER. Do everyone a favor and fuck off 🖕
its 1998. you're watching this masterpiece with your dad and little brother while ordering pizza and snacking on chips on a friday night. life is good.
Yeah nothing will. My class went to see this movie on a field trip and this morning scene had all our jaws floored. Classic. The feeling was so surreal
This is seriously still one of the best movie intros ever made. The way it builds up and then the intro sequence itself with the song and the intercutting Jordan gameplay clips. It's flawless.
@@alexanderrmz9701 Yeah. Some kids only hate it because some dumb and woke UA-camrs said that it sucks. Unfortunately some kids these days act like that, if they hear their favorite UA-camr insult a movie they think it's right to hate on it or to call it a guilty pleasure (even though the movie is actually great). Take as an example Happy Feet, Patch Addams or Pirates of the Caribbean. They get hate by these idiots for the same reason
@Vincent Daly Nostalgia critic said it was. Idk who else though. To be fair though when the movie came out it wasn't for his demographic. He was 15 years old. So it shouldn't be that surprising that he didn't like it. I'm pretty sure my parents weren't that big of fans of the movie either. The people who loved this move were born late 80s to late 90s at the most. I myself was born 1995 and as a kid could not get enough of this movie. Even had a little book based off the movie.
Piros too bad the sequel wasn't as good as this movie, i was hoping Mr. Swackhammer would return to seek revenge on the "Toon Squad" for turning the Nerdlucks against him but instead the sequel sucked!
My school was so poor it only had 1 film. So whenever our class done something good (e.g. good grades or whatever) we got to watch a film. Usually I would've been pissed seeing the same movie over n over..... However, luckily for us, the movie was Space Jam :)
This intro to Space Jam never gets old. It's amazing how the makers of this film added MJ's first retirement from basketball at the beginning of the film and added his return to basketball at the end of the film. Probably were references to say the least.
Crazy part is they filmed it summer 95 after he came back at the end of the season but wasn’t 100% and they lost in the playoffs. Then he filmed this movie while having open court scrimmages with a rolling cast of all the best in the NBA. Then he led the bulls to (at the time) the best regular season of all time and won another championship. THEN the movie came out after that. Couldn’t plan it any better, cause they had no idea that would happen while they were shooting the movie
Anyone is lucky to have seen this movie. They don't make movies like the 90's anymore. No more "just feel good" movies, every studio is trying so hard to make something incredulous nowadays.
***** very true and also sad :/ its cool that kids are growing up with technology but 90's kids were the last generation to actually play outside. and we had better cartoons back then. better music and movies lol the only thing that sucked were the "cellphones" in the 90's.
And I wasn’t even alive in 96 and grew up in the Kobe and lebron era and I can tell ya today’s kids don’t know jack shit how great MJ was compared to lequeen.
We saw this in theaters on opening night, and I kid you not, these opening credits had kids and parents alike ROARING. You had to be there, it was so awesome.
Outside of the obviously better soundtrack, what made this intro so much better is that MJ's plays were just much flashier than Lebron's and this intro did a much better job highlighting them. The switch hand layup, the shot against those Celtic players, the dunks, the shrug, that nasty steal and immediate score. Above all else, it just illustrated that his trademark ultra competitiveness was just at a much higher level.
grandparents introduced me to this and i can never thank them enough ❤ used to watch this practically everyday on vhs and they put up with it. miss em always
My kid, who is 30 now, and I watched Space Jam on a vhs tape about a hundred thousand times. But after the first 20 times we watched just the intro, that I like, then fast forward to the game that my kid liked. Bill Murray’s, whoa Mike I don’t play defense, after Jordan reminded him that they weren’t inbounding the ball, is one of the funniest lines if you play and coach team sports, of all time. I still have the vhs tape.
This has to being a happy tear to Michael’s eye when he watches this. Such a big part of my childhood. Made a 5’8 white kid think he could achieve anything, including being an NBA legend haha. NBA dreams didn’t work out but I’ll never forget this movie
Nov. '96, me and two other kids went to see this for my 6th birthday in my hometown of Chicago. Theatre was PACKED. Never will I ever forget the feeling I had from seeing this intro for the very first time. Never
He had a stacked af team, I'm not taking anything away from him but Lebron has never had a team like MJ had. Including first years of Miami. People underrate how damn great Pippen was, then you add in Horace Grant, Rodman, Ron Harper, etc
Happy 25th anniversary to this absolute masterpiece of a movie. Can’t believe the movie 25 years old now. Hope this classic never dies out, every child deserves to see it
I heard this song playing over the speakers at the grocery store, and all the thirty-something moms and dads (myself included) were all jammin’ and rockin’ like there was no tomorrow. I bet most of us hadn’t heard it in nigh on 20 years. All of a sudden we were all 10 years old again. It was glorious.
Michael Jordan had a celebrity appeal that no other athlete has matched since. He was like a mythological hero in real life. People all over the world who didn't know anything about basketball knew who MJ was.
holy sh*t !! I havent seen this since i was a kid.. my body is giving me chills, movies were simply epic back in the 90's it was by far the best era ever and im glad I got to be apart of it.
I don't want to ruin your nostalgia gogle search but the 90s didn't really have the best movies yikes. Uuuh and the comics those are going to have to be a nope for me
This brings back memories of when I was younger, I used to watch this film everyday! Has to be one of the best kids films of all time. Michael Jordan! What a icon!!
The greatest movie opening credits ever seen. I remember back in the theaters like it was yesterday, this song had me pumping. (I didn't see the new one yet)
Brings me back to the early 90’s. Getting ready to go to grandma’s house and pack our VHS tapes while mom and dad go to work 9-5. I miss those good old days
MJ, Looney Tunes, and a Soundtrack that had people dancing and vibing like crazy. This movie had everything for us 90s kids and its still talked about hard!!!!!
Michael and Kobe are the real MVPs! Greatest players who ever lived. Rest In Peace to Kobe, we lost him too soon. Even Michael said Kobe is the only Player that comes close to him and could beat him .
This movie was simply EPIC and MAGICAL. I watched it so many times. I almost cried watching this. Through the lens of a child the 90's produced so many great memories. I loved being born in the 90s.
This original Space Jam movie still has one of the greatest soundtracks in all film history!

This intro better than the whole space jam 2 movie
Yes sir
Hasta la peli es mejor que la 2, está fue parte de mi infancia 🤧✨💜
Space jam 2 is amazing just like the old one
@@glendeaton5489 it just isn't I'm sorry. But if you somehow liked that movie I won't go into depth and try to ruin it for you
@@kyanmori9272 I really did try to get into it....but I turned it off when they had spiders playing basketball lol
This is my favorite movie of all time
Me too i love the movie million times!
Mine Too.
Anytime I watch this scene it makes me feel like I can achieve anything in the world!
I agree with you!
Totally!
I just listen to it
Agree
You can! 😉
Happy 25th anniversary to this absolute masterpiece of a movie.
Can’t believe the movie 25 years old now. Hope this classic never dies out, every child deserves to see it
I heard this song playing over the speakers at the grocery store, and all the thirty-something moms and dads (myself included) were all jammin’ and rockin’ like there was no tomorrow. I bet most of us hadn’t heard it in nigh on 20 years. All of a sudden we were all 10 years old again. It was glorious.
That’s awesome. 🙂
Michael Jordan had a celebrity appeal that no other athlete has matched since. He was like a mythological hero in real life. People all over the world who didn't know anything about basketball knew who MJ was.
Ronaldinho Gaucho 😉
Michael Jackson was like a mythological hero :D RIP to the legend and yeah Jordan is epic too
When I was a kid in the 2000's, MJ was the only Basketball player I heard of.
@@ciaranmcloughlin7165 same here, I'm not American and basketball wasn't really popular here. But everyone knew Michael Jordan
People who weren’t basketball fans were fans of Michael Jordan. Man transcended the sport in a way nobody before, and arguably after him, did.
As a teenager and coming back to this video still hypes me up especially when I was young
holy sh*t !! I havent seen this since i was a kid.. my body is giving me chills, movies were simply epic back in the 90's it was by far the best era ever and im glad I got to be apart of it.
The biggest peak any sports star has ever had. Crazy
90’s had it all! Movies, music, tv shows, etc I miss my childhood 😅
I don't want to ruin your nostalgia gogle search but the 90s didn't really have the best movies yikes. Uuuh and the comics those are going to have to be a nope for me
Im not crying bro leave me alone...
Choda picko
🥲 Great movie, awesome memories.
Still the highest-grossing sports movie EVER, 25 years later.
This is the real Space Jam. The "remake" should never have been considered.
Indeed
Ok boomer
Don't exaggerate.
@Im just a Troll whos intentions are good ¿?
It's actually a sequel. They reference the first film events a lot
I swear to god.....if this song isn't in the sequel....Im gonna cry
It is 💣💣💣
Man do I have some news for you
Sadly it won't, cause LeBum's music taste is as trash as he is. 🗑️
Travis Scott did a cover
@@domc9026 ....okay
Born in 94. Saw this movie at a young age. You can imagine my surprise when I found out MJ was not just an actor. “He plays basketball too?”
Same for me, Im a 94'er too
I also was born in 94, and I kind of already knew Jordan was a basketball star outside of this film.
This brings back memories of when I was younger, I used to watch this film everyday! Has to be one of the best kids films of all time. Michael Jordan! What a icon!!
The greatest movie opening credits ever seen. I remember back in the theaters like it was yesterday, this song had me pumping. (I didn't see the new one yet)
Screw the critics, this intro is amazing!
Wimplo86 The intro yes, but not so much the movie overall
@@joewhitehead3 the movie is still cool
Joe Whitehead you say that as if it’s a fact. It’s your opinion !
@@joewhitehead3 You must be 8 years old
Lamo the kid erased his comments 🤣
Man I was pissed when I first started dunking. It didn't make that thunderous sound effect ever time like I thought it would...
mustangblack05 rims are breakable now
That's just a sound effect
Mustangblue08 🏀😄
@@kangaroofuno O RLY?!
@@kangaroofuno no it isn't
This intro is inspiring and so powerful. What a dominant, incredible force to be reckoned with on and off the court.
Ikr you could even work out to it too.
Brings me back to the early 90’s. Getting ready to go to grandma’s house and pack our VHS tapes while mom and dad go to work 9-5. I miss those good old days
The single greatest montage of all time!
The 90s were the best.
Wasn't perfect, but it didn't need to be. It had better TV than the crap they put on now.
Out of anything, Swat Kats was my fave.
The original Powerpuff Girls 1998 (not the reboot) is my favorite Cartoon series.
Caine7ify no doubt about it.
@@Caine7ify bruh you just being a oldhead and don't want nothing to change 💀💀
Oh, God, the nostalgia overtook me! Wow, did I feel flashed back to my childhood!
MJ, Looney Tunes, and a Soundtrack that had people dancing and vibing like crazy. This movie had everything for us 90s kids and its still talked about hard!!!!!
Fuck the new space jam, I saw this movie as a child in theatre and my eyes were glued to the screen because of the intro
Who ever did not like this movie as a kid did not have an awesome childhood
"Michael Jordan AND Bugs Bunny?!!??! WOOOOOAHHHH!!!!!!" - everyone kid in 1996
Michael and Kobe are the real MVPs! Greatest players who ever lived. Rest In Peace to Kobe, we lost him too soon. Even Michael said Kobe is the only
Player that comes close to him and could beat him .
This movie was simply EPIC and MAGICAL. I watched it so many times. I almost cried watching this. Through the lens of a child the 90's produced so many great memories. I loved being born in the 90s.
Yes!!!!
A beautiful part of my childhood right here!
