The film will follow one Mr. LeBron James, who appears to be in a bit of a tough spot as a dad* at the moment.

*A staple of '90s films! They're starting early with the nostalgia!!!

After losing his son on "the wrong floor," he comes face-to-face with Al-G Rhythm, an evil computer algorithm (played by Don FREAKIN' Cheadle), who, of course, challenges him to a basketball game. Because Space Jam.

However, there is a twist on the original format in that this time — when our basketball star first enters Tune World — he's turned into a Tune himself!

So LeBron is forced to put a team together, relying on those gosh-darn Looney Tunes for their knowledge, their insight, and their sick skillz.

Also, throughout the trailer, we get some positively WACKY cameos, including the Iron Giant:

And King Kong:

And Pennywise, I guess??? So scary! No thank you!!!

Listen — I know it's clear from the trailer that the movie will be using A LOT of Warner Bros. intellectual properties in the audience shots, but I still think it's pretty hilarious to imagine that Pennywise — a bloodthirsty, child-murdering, shape-shifting monster — is just, like, a huge basketball fan.

So be sure to catch this colorful, cameo-filled, pure nostalgia trip when it hits HBO Max and theaters July 16!
