Space Jam: A New Legacy

I love Looney Tunes and WB Animation (WAG) but there was so little offered here.

I actually cringed when I saw the many writers involved in the opening credits -- I knew things will be all over the place.

First, you need a couple of Mai Tais to get through the first act. Just forget about it. It made no sense in terms of character development.

When you get into 2D world, things look really good. The screenplay here is engaging and would indeed be amazing if they expanded it.

Then we get into CGI world where I think that is when they ran out of money and had to resort to cheap animation. All the characters lost their expressions and it was horrible. The crowd looked bad. Everything looked cheap. Take another couple of Mai Tais here for a total of 4 Mai Tais.

When they bring back 2D, the better writing comes back. Unfortunately, it's not enough to redeem this movie...

They had Speedy Gonzales but not Pepe le Pew? Why?!

This movie was a disservice for the Looney Tunes IP. Good thing the current series is not too bad...
