Lola Bunny – Geekfeed https://www.geekfeed.com Entertainment News, Celebrities and Fandoms Fri, 02 Jul 2021 16:53:42 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://www.geekfeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/cropped-Geekfeed-Favicon-White-32x32.png Lola Bunny – Geekfeed https://www.geekfeed.com 32 32 Porky Pig Raps in Sneak Peek from Space Jam: A New Legacy https://www.geekfeed.com/porky-pig-raps-in-sneak-peek-from-space-jam-a-new-legacy/ Fri, 02 Jul 2021 16:53:42 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=60365 It’s been 25 years since the release of the original Space Jam, and though it’s taken years in development, the sequel, Space Jam: A New Legacy is finally ready to release this July. Just in, we have a new clip from the film which has Porky Pig (or the Notorious P.I.G.) showing off some rap skills to Don Cheadle and his crew.

Watch the Space Jam clip down here: 

Based on the description, this looks to only be part of a full song dubbed Space Jam: Rap Battle. Here’s what it says:

“Space Jam: Rap Battle (from Space Jam: A New Legacy)” features the song from the film performed by Porky Pig, Al-G and Daffy Duck, along with instrumental and acapella versions!

While it’s admittedly kind of corny to watch an vintage cartoon pig rap, I think kids would get a whole kick out of it. While a lot of now-adults who grew up on Space Jam are excited for this film, they have to keep in mind that this movie is for kids first.

Besides, with the first movie admittedly not aging well, there’s really no way to go but up when it comes to Space Jam, and it looks like WB is trying to draw from every piece of IP they have with this film. Hopefully LeBron James can act better than he can play ball (or at least better than Michael Jordan).

Catch Space Jam: A New Legacy when it comes out on HBO Max and theaters on July 16.

Zendaya to Voice a ‘Politically Correct’ Lola Bunny in Space Jam Sequel https://www.geekfeed.com/zendaya-to-voice-a-politically-correct-lola-bunny-in-space-jam-sequel/ Mon, 05 Apr 2021 15:34:29 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=58963 After nabbing the role of MJ in the new Spider-Man movies, Zendaya is now moving on to animation to play one of the Bugs Bunny’s girlfriend in the new Space Jam movie.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Zendaya has been cast as the voice of Lola Bunny in the upcoming Space Jam: A New Legacy. While we haven’t really heard Lola talk in the new trailer yet, director Malcolm D. Lee promises a more ‘fully realized’ version of the character compared to the 90s classic.

Lee said about the original Lola Bunny that, “Lola was not politically correct… This is a kids’ movie, why is she in a crop top? It just felt unnecessary, but at the same time there’s a long history of that in cartoons.”

When it came to this newly realized version of the character that Zendaya is set to voice, Lee says that they wanted to ‘reflect the authenticity of ‘strong, capable, female characters.’ He continues:

“We reworked a lot of things, not only her look, like making sure she had an appropriate length on her shorts and was feminine without being objectified, but gave her a real voice… For us, it was, let’s ground her athletic prowess, her leadership skills, and make her as full a character as the others.”

With the movie still set to come out in July, we’ll probably be getting a second trailer where we can finally meet more of the other Looney Tunes. Besides Zendaya, the film has also nabbed comedian Gabriel Iglesias to provide the voice of Speedy Gonzales. Other members of the Tune Squad will be voiced by veteran voice actors Eric Bauza and Jeff Bergman.

Catch Space Jam: A New Legacy when it comes out on theaters and on HBO Max on July 16.
