Space Jam is a nostalgic children's movie for a lot of people who grew up watching and rewatching the movie about one of their favorite basketball players, Michael Jordan, helping the Looney Tunes fend off some evil aliens by winning a basketball game. There were several characters in the movie from alien antagonists to actors and athletes portraying fictionalized versions of themselves and of course the iconic Looney Tunes characters. All the characters have varying ranges of likability from heroes the audience roots for to villains the audience is meant to hate. Swackhammer, voiced by Danny DeVito , is the obvious villain of the story and the least likable character that appears in the movie. Swackhammer is greedy and treats his employees terribly, the same ones who eventually turn into The Monstars and play the Tune Squad. His amusement park is failing so he hatches an evil scheme to force the Looney Tunes to be popular attractions at his park. The Monstars is a team of aliens controlled by Swackhammer and stole their strength and skill from professional basketball players as a way to almost ensure their victory over the Tune Squad. Although The Monstars are the main antagonists of the movie, they're redeemable characters at the end when they realize they can stand up to the more villainous Swackhammer. They become friends with the Looney Tunes and agree to give the basketball players their skills back. The Monstars stole their basketball skills and they were all left in an awkward position in not being able to adequately play basketball. They don't appear for much of the movie, but they all have a fun cameo and moment with Michael Jordan where they all play a fun game together after getting their skills back. Former basketball player Larry Bird has more of a featured role in the movie as a supportive friend to Michael Jordan who also interacts with Bill Murray throughout the movie as well. He has a more prominent role than the other basketball players, but he doesn't do as much as Bill Murray or Michael Jordan. Still, he's a friendly and likable presence whether on the golf course or watching a basketball game. Stan is a nervous and anxious character who is constantly worried about Michael Jordan, his well-being, and his career.
