Looney Tunes and Space Jam[edit]
On January 26, 1992, Jordan Brand debuted a commercial during Super Bowl XXVI which showed Bugs Bunny enlisting the help of Michael Jordan to outsmart a bullying rival team using cartoon gags. A second ad premiered in 1993 featuring Bugs and Jordan facing off against Marvin the Martian. The ads inspired Jordan's agent, David Falk, to pitch a film starring Jordan and the Looney Tunes characters. The pitch resulted in Space Jam, a commercial success which grossed over $230 million at the box office and generated over $1 billion in merchandise sales.

The success of the advertising campaign and the film contributed to the popularity of Looney Tunes and other cartoon characters as motifs in street fashion through the 1990s and 2000s, spawned limited editions of Air Jordan sneakers in colorways paying homage to such characters as Bugs Bunny, Marvin the Martian, and Lola Bunny, popularized the Air Jordan XI as worn by Jordan in the film, and led to the development of a sequel, entitled Space Jam: A New Legacy and starring LeBron James, was released on July 16, 2021. More than 25+ years later after the original classic starring Michael Jordan. There is a lot of debate on both Movies and how they can relate to each other. They both played in the NBA and are stars to children growing up in both time periods. Something Interesting to know about Space Jam: A new Legacy is the fact that China blocked the movie, which ended up making them lose over hundreds of millions of dollars.
