"Titans, GO!- And no other words after GO! and if anyone tries to add another word after GO! They're a dummy! GO!!!" This article is a stub. You can help Teen Titans Go! Wiki by expanding it.
Teen Titans Go! See Space Jam is a crossover film between the Teen Titans Go! and the 1996 film Space Jam. It premiered on Cartoon Network on June 20, 2021, over a month prior to Space Jam: A New Legacy, and was released on digital on July 27, 2021. It also serves as the third Teen Titans Go! movie.
The Teen Titans are visited by the Nerdlucks, the iconic Space Jam villains who tried to capture Michael Jordan and the Looney Tunes. Astonished to discover his fellow Titans have never seen Space Jam, Cyborg organizes an exclusive watch party.
Of course, if the Titans are watching a movie, don’t expect silence to be golden. Raven and Starfire provide the commentary, Cyborg presents the fun facts, Beast Boy points out the butt shots, and Robin … well, Robin doesn’t trust their new alien friends. Are the Nerdlucks here to attend an innocent watch party, or do they have more sinister motives up their sleeves?
Plot
The Titans are relaxing by the swimming pool. Later, they get interrupted by a spaceship hovering over them. It lands near them, and The Nerdlucks come out of their spaceship. Robin says that they are evil, but the others disagree and let them in the tower. Cyborg later suggests that they should watch Space Jam. The other Titans have no idea what it is, so he explains. After he does so, they agree to watch it.
They pause the movie to point out that the Nerdlucks can take powers. The Titans except Robin suggest that they use their powers. They do so. Blanko gets Cyborg's powers, Bupkus gets Raven's, Bang gets Beast Boy's and Nawt gets Starfire's. Pound stays the same due to Robin having no powers. Robin shows off his dance moves, but they all don't like it. The movie continues.
This movie was probably made to commemorate the release of the sequel, Space Jam: A New Legacy.
Originally, this film was titled Space Jam 1.5, and this film pays a tribute to Mystery Science Theater 3000 and references to Disney's animated films, such as The Lion King 1 1/2 and Beauty and the Beast: Sing-Along at EPCOT.
During when they were watching the film, some interruptions were heard such as:
Robin complaining about the The Nerdlucks
Cyborg's Fun Facts
Beast Boy's Butt Shot Counting
Issues by Raven
Starfire questioning and commenting during the film
All of them are in speak bubbles.
This is the second time a DC comics logo with TTG variant was used.
This marks the very first time Teen Titans Go! has a premiere on a Sunday.
A DVD version was only released in Regions 2 and 4 as the Region 1 version and the Blu-Ray version for that region has yet to be released. Also, there are no special features on the disc and had a PAL audio format.
Previously most younger fans who have not seen "Space Jam" believed that one of the Monstars are actually enemies of the Justice League which are owned by DC and Warner Brothers. It turned out that only their successors the Teen Titans get to deal with them. It's still unknown whether they'll make future DC crossovers comic books about them.
In the film Beast Boy covers up the guns in Space Jam with Chickens which is a direct reference to Looney Tunes Cartoons where the usage of guns is not allowed anymore in the United States.
In the film Kath Soucie voiced Lola Bunny. As it turns out she and Tara Strong the voice of Raven both worked on the show My Friends Tigger & Pooh as the voices of Kanga and Porcupine.
At one point in the film the Titans comment on Bill Murray. Hynden Walch who voices Starfire worked with Bill Murray on the movie Groundhog Day.
Apart from the crossover, this isn't the only relation TTG has had with Space Jam-- LeBron James, who starred in the episode "The Cruel Giggling Ghoul", has starred the sequel, Space Jam: A New Legacy. A Teen Titans Go! to the Movies poster can also be seen at one point in the film.
Compared to the original Space Jam film, many pieces of the soundtrack like Fly Like an Eagle and the famous Get Ready for This that occurs during the game were replaced by different compositions, likely for licensing reasons.
Most of the scenes in the original Space Jam movie were cut from this version probably for time.
When Lola first appeared Beast Boy nor Cyborg did not say about her appearance and looks which may be too inappropriate.
When the Monstars stole their talent Beast Boy said that Robin is talentless despite he learned martial arts and acrobat like tight rope considered as talent and in some other episodes that Robin has actual talent.
