Comedy which mixes animation with live-action. In the animation realm, a greedy carnival owner decides to kidnap some famous cartoon characters and turn them into carnival attractions. The cartoon characters talk their kidnappers into a contest the result of which will decide their fate. They choose basketball as the form of dispute, and then invite a great player, now retired, to play on their team.
This is an exercise on technique, and no more than that. The script is really unfunny, and the plot does not even make sense. I mean, what kidnapper would agree to a contest with his victims? Even the cartoon characters' design were ugly, to my taste. At any rate, this movie makes us think: what made the 50s so superior to the 90s? I don't know the answer to that. Nevertheless, perhaps more a symptom than a cause, in the 50s there were no "tributes" to art made half a century earlier.
