Space Jam: Resurrecting Way-Back-Wednesday

 One of my all time favourite sports movies is Space Jam. The Looney Tunes were everywhere back during the 90's, some weird and some downright bizarre, yet valiant efforts, were made to make these characters cool. 

Michael Jordan was coming to the end of his career as a baseball player (a sport which though he was passionate about did not excel), and subsequently signed up to play the real life "straight man" alongside Bugs Bunny to herald his triumphant return to professional basketball...

the 90's era sports movie to end all 90's era sports movies...

I was still in high school when this came out, and while I never liked basketball... I did like this

These guys went through something of a Renaissance during the 1990's


...and some not so memorable experimentations...

...to wind up back to basics (with some caveats to appease modern audiences)
