Set Contains:
Director Joe Pytka apparently has little to say about the making of Space Jam; he leaves most of the commentary to voice actors Billy West and D. Bradley Baker (who took over some of Mel Blanc's voices) in this enhanced edition of the film. The commentators spend most of their time complimenting the actors ("He's a great guy") and the film itself ("Rich, beautiful colors"). Although he made them sound spontaneous, Mel Blanc never ad-libbed: Talented writers crafted his lines. West and Baker aren't exactly raconteurs, and the result is like watching the movie while two guys in the next row talk about it and do so-so impressions of Bugs and Daffy. Also includes three music videos and an alternate music-only audio track. --Charles Solomon
