we could see a lot of minutes.

l'm a cheerleader.

Mr. Commissioner, the place is sealed off.

Quiet!

Listen. After meeting with team owners...

...l decided that until we can guarantee...

...the health of our players...

...there will be no more

basketball this season.

Just get out of my way.

Ready?

Let's go!

Are these the best seats?

Like them!

Can see everything from here! Very good!

Ready to go?

Yeah, sure.

Riot!

Ladies and gentlemen...

...the starting lineup for...

...the Tune Squad!

Standing 2 foot 4...

...The Wonder From Down Under...

...the Tazmanian Devil!

At small forward...

...standing a scintillating 3 foot 2...

...The Heartthrob of the Hoops...

...Lola Bunny!

At power forward...

...The Quackster of the Courts: Daffy Duck!

Thank you! Thank you!

Very funny.

Let's all laugh at the duck.

And at point guard...

...standing 3 foot 3,

...co-captain of the Tune Squad...

...The Doctor of Delight:

Bugs Bunny!

Thank you! Thank you!

And now...

...the player-coach of the Tune Squad...

...at 6 foot 6, from North Carolina...

...His Royal Airness:

Michael Jordan!

Who?

ls he a Looney Tune?

Perhaps.

Ready?

l'll take it to the rack.

They'll wish they never were born!

Guys, let's just go out and have fun.

The challengers for the Ultimate Game...

...all the way from Moron Mountain:

The Monstars!

Go Monstars! Go Monstars!

Go Monstars!

What are you looking at?

Cool shoes.

Ready?

l got it! l got the ball!

Way to go!

Did you see the moves on that one?

Come on. Show me something!

The duck!

Oh, my!

She was wide open.

Watch the screen!

Watch out!

Get him!

How did he do that?

Nice shot, Mr. J.

Let's play defense.

Way to go!

Air J!

Red light!

Feed me!

Feed you?

Feed me!

-Bad old putty tat!

-l'll take that.

Don't try this at home!

''l wish l was in the land of--''

Going somewhere?

May l remind you, sir...

...that physical violence is

patently against the rules!

Did you order Original Recipe

or Extra Crispy?

Let's go.

Me?

l'm ready. l can do this.

You picked the mouse?

l love basketball. l always have. Do you?

l bet you're good.

l'm small, but l try hard to be good.

l always try hard.

My mom says, ''Try your best--''

Try to get by me, doll.

''Doll''?

Don't ever call me...

...''doll.''

Nice shot.

There's the defense boy. l got you.

Pie? Pork chop?

Sorbet, perhaps?

Half-time.

Holy Putty Tat!

We're better than them.

We got them.

Moron Mountain, here we come.

We're going to be slaves.

There's a whole other half to play.

lt's the boss.

Hello, Mr. Swackhammer!

All right.

Not bad for the first half.

But we must keep this up.

No problem.

We stole talent from the NBA players!

From the NBA!

Shut up!

l smell something.

We've been playing hard.

Not you, you idiot!

lt's coming from over here.

That locker.

Look!

lt's the chubby boy!

lt smells like a...

...spy!

You guys need a publicist?

l can make you big.

-l know we're down.

-Let's hear the story.

l've been here before.

We can still win this.

lt's not over. We must come together.

We must believe in ourselves.

That'll help us.

Looks like Stan had a close

encounter with a bug-zapper.

The Monstars!

The Monstars!

That must hurt.

The Monstars!

The Monstars...

...stole the talent from the NBA players.

So that's what happened to them.

l think we should qui-- qui-- forfeit.

Listen, l didn't get dragged down

here to lose to ugly Monstars.

l ain't going out like that.

We're letting them push us!

We must fight back!

We must get right in their faces!

Well?

Are you with me or not?

Finished? Great speech and all.

You had them riveted.

But didn't you forget something?

Your secret stuff!

Nice deltoids!

Play along.

Stop hogging it.

We're teammates!

Secret stuff?

Secret stuff? You wouldn't

hold out on us, would you?

No.

l didn't think you needed it.

You're so tough. You're competitive.

We're also chicken. We need it bad.

-l'd like some of that.

-Could l have a sip, please?

This goes against everything

l learned in health class.

Do you want to win?

Bottoms up.

Yummy.

How about we go out

and kick some alien butt?

How about it? Ready?

Open!

Coming through!

Special delivery!

Nice kaboom.

Let's teach them a lesson.

Nice butt!

Going up!

Slammy!

Hello! A little surprise for you, my friends.

This will be good.

Okay, birdie!

Time out!

Shut up, get away from me. Powwow!

We're right back in this game.

Let's play tough defense.

Why didn't you get him?

He's a baseball player.

A baseball player.

Looks like a basketball player to me.

Me too.

He's the one l want for Moron Mountain.

Are you talking to me?

Yeah, l am. You want a piece of me?

Come and get it!

What do you have in mind?

What about we raise the stakes?

lnteresting.

lf we win, you give the NBA

players their talent back.

But what if we win?

lf you win?

You get me.

Good deal.

Doc, you think that's a good idea?

You'll be our star attraction.

You'll sign autographs all day long.

And play one-on-one with

the paying customers.

And lose.

Do we have a deal?

Deal.

l don't think you should do this.

l have faith in my team.

Crush them!

Defeating time, boys.

Good-bye!

Fore!

But, Mommy,

l don't want to go to school today.

l want to stay home

and bake cookies with you.

l'm open!

Heads up!

Belly flop!

Oh, my!

ls this your man?

You okay?

Me? Oh, yeah. l'm fine.

Are you okay?

Thank you.

lt was nothing.

That was the nicest thing

anyone's ever done for me.

Time out.

l could have been a contender!

The Monstars! The Monstars!

l could have had a V-8!

We need a fifth player.

You got any more secret stuff?

l think it's starting to wear off.

lt didn't wear off. lt was water.

You guys had the ''special stuff''

inside you all along.

Yeah, l knew that. But you got any more?

Can l have some?

-Stan?

-Me?

You're center.

Just guard the big guy.

Guard him? l'll smother him!

l'll be all over him like a cheap suit!

l'll be on him like stink on rice!

He's going down!

Over here!

Over here!

l'm open!

Nice shot!

Big man, ain't he?

Let's get him out of here!

Oh, my!

How'd he do that?

Anyone can do that.

Even you.

Watch this.

No sweat. This is Looney Tune Land.

Thanks for telling me, doc.

l hate to be the bearer of bad news,

Your Airness...

...but if you don't find a fifth player,

your team will forfeit the game.

Forfeit?

Precisely, Sir Altitude.

No way. We'll find someone.

l didn't know Dan Ackroyd

was in this picture!

Perhaps l could be of some assistance?

That's our fifth guy.

Now you get to live your dream. Let's go.

-We need to score 2 points.

-Here's how l see it.

You kick it to the girl

bunny down in the post.

You dish it to Bugs.

You swing it to Mike. You go to the hole.

-And dominate!

-We're on defense!

l don't play defense.

Typical.

You must listen to Mike on this.

Someone steal the ball,

get it to me and l'll score.

Don't lose that confidence!

Paws and wings in here! Okay!
