Left untouched, just as it was made in the ancient days of 1996. I have no idea why the site is still up, or why it was suddenly brought up today, but it's bizarrely nostalgic and besides, it's a ridiculously slow news day. Go enjoy. If only to imagine the immense shock on the WB IT guy who discovers the Space Jam website is suddenly getting all these views and wonders why.
More links from around the web!
-
The Pokemon: The First Movie website is also still up. WB clearly has issues with taking down old content on their servers. http://pokemonthemovie.warnerbros.com/cmp/mainfr.html
-
Whuuoh... This URL runs so well on my Centris! What?
-
Ahh... good old Web 1.0 days, when RealAudio was the widely used audio format
-
"Jen makes everything pretty." You have FAILED.
-
WB probably bought the domain and paid many years in advance for the URL.......you would be suprised how many sites for older movies still exist......for those who like the novelty of old skool web sites, many are preserved on the Internet Wayback Machine....
-
Just to let you know, Charles Barkley is the greatest thing to ever happen to the sport of basketball. I was glad the space jam website had his stats so I could remember him in his awesomeness before he got fat. Thanks WB.
-
Great, you had to remind of how much I miss the '90s.
-
You idiots!!! All these hits are going to lead to someone making Space Jam 2 with LeBron James!!!!! For Chrissakes, do you people really want that to happen???!!!! It's stuff like this that makes me in favor of laws policing the internet!! LOL!!
-
That's amazing or Hypercool. Whichever. I was serious.
-
"You hit 'em high, hit 'em high, hit 'em high. And I hit 'em low, hit 'em low, hit 'em low."
-
Glorious. I miss websites from the 90's so much. MIDI music, flashing backgrounds, sparkly things following your mouse cursor... It was a great time. http://pokemonthemovie.warnerbros.com/ A few months ago I stumbled upon the website for the first Pokemon movie. It's still up too, and pretty great.
-
Why would anyone think that yellow font on a red background was a good idea?
-
all I can say is...Welcome to the SPACE JAM!
-
LOL! I can't wait for the day we can say "jeez, Java!" with the same disbelief.
-
The "full-size" photos are so small! How cute!
-
Oh for the love of god, please don't tempt rob
-
that site is so archaic. I am a novice site designer and i could totally make that!
-
WE NEED A SPACE JAM FFF TO CELEBRATE THIS EVENT.
-
That was the funniest thing I read all day!
-
:O How can it not know hypercool? :O:O Neither does mine! This is madness! Seriously though, can we bring hypercool back? I don't care I'm bringing it back. Watch it comments of tomorrow!
-
"Tired of that glowing "N" up in the corner? Change it to our hypercool spinning basketball. Unfortunately, this only works on a Macintosh running Netscape; sorry, Windows users." http://www2.warnerbros.com/spacejam/movie/cmp/souvenirs/iconsframes.html Clearly, my browser's spellcheck wasn't made in the nineties, because it fails to recognize 'hypercool' for the word it truly is.
-
suddenly i have the image of the Monolith from 2001, drifting silently and stoically all alone in the cold emptiness of space...
-
excuse me, sir, but a certain Mister Hansen would like to have a word with you...
-
It's cool but a little bizarre and creepy. Remember, what happens on the web can stay up for a long, long time.
-
good GOD!! somebody still remembered THAT?! XD
-
BAZINGA!! XD
-
Never! :D
-
WHORRY SHHHIIITT!! netscape was here, fucking up your shit!
-
IT DOES EXIST!!!
-
shit! i got on for the first time in late 1998 and even then it took forever to get anywhere. i remember the first pokemon website trying to get magmar to load in the dex, i had to go back and forth several times before the picture would load.
-
Freaking awesome! Stone-age HTML!
-
@sacripanta bro... its from 1996. Try 14.4k/28.8 if you were lucky.... and most likely on AOL or Compuserve. 7.5 megs is going to take you a couple hours.
-
From the Spacejam News page: [i]No Spacejam news at the moment! Go back to the Space Jam home page to see more of the site![/i] Damnit! Where else can I go to get my up-to-the-moment spacejame news?!?
-
I almost miss my Geocities page. Which, of course, was perpetually under construction.
-
<!-- Badda Bing, Badda Boom --> Best secret comment in a website code ever.
-
That's...certainly one way of putting it, yes.
-
I like how I can get to the modern-day Warner Bros shop, offering me Deathly Hallows merchandise, yet it still has the Space Jam sidebar.
-
agreed. Although, I think something can be taken from the sites simplicity. every movie site nowadays has to be a flash monstrosity that takes 5 minutes to load on broadband.
-
Don't forget the eardrum breaking .wav's
-
Tired of that glowing "N" up in the corner? Change it to our hypercool spinning basketball.
-
All this needs is some WebRing links to be complete.
-
As a web programmer / IT guy, I looked at the source code and laughed and laughed. Man, 1996 was a simpler day.
-
All those hits on the site are now going to give Wb the idea to make a space jam 2&3.
-
The only things missing were the looped midi theme song and the "Under Construction" graphic. Weren't those a legal requirement on all Geocities pages?
-
Apparently the WB has a bad habit of leaving up Looney Tunes movie websites. They must have an infinite amount of hosting space for crap... http://www2.warnerbros.com/looneytunesbackinaction/
-
I'm looking at the Pinky and the Brain laser ray / pen on my desktop right now. Signed an affidavit with it the other day, in fact.
-
I can't help but think the article itself needs a Gothic horror twist. "Inexplicably the Space Jam website is still alive and very much intact, perfectly preserved, hibernating on the cold fringes of the internet waiting for the odd, unsuspecting victim. Like a senile old man it accosts you with tales of a simpler time, told with simpler means. Prepare yourself for tiled backgrounds, blurry gifs, broken quicktime links and the horror that is... FRAMES!"
-
i feel like dr who with the wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff
-
I will say this for the site; it renders instantly.
-
I miss those stores. I have soooo many Batman related goodies from the WB Store. Like every cookie jar they ever made. And some really cool resin statues for $35 that would probably retail for $200 today.
-
Wholly molestable What Now??!!!!!!
-
Suffers from a lack of Marvin the Martian... however, I did indeed have minutes of fun with the sound clips.
-
Wholly molestable children have been born and grown old enough to get hair on their special places since this web site was created!
-
Gah, now I have strange memories of a Studio Store, but I can't for the life of me remember where or when I saw it ( I was at least.... I dunno, five at the time). Curse you for bringing up accidentally suppressed memories!
-
The one in my mall sold Nintendo and Pokemon stuff back when WB got the exclusive airing rights to Pokemon. Good times to be a nerd kid, those days. Now whenever I hear Pokemon news, I have flashbacks to FFF and want to die.
-
this is so bad. i'm laughing out loud, but it could be the mid-day four loko coming through. thank god for the week off.
-
Oh God! Frames!
-
It's historically significant as the website of the most successfull ad campaign featuring cartoons and a Sports Icon movie adaptation ever. It should stay till the servers burn.
-
I found it just like Mickey found his unfaithful Minnie: FUCKIN' GOOFY!!!
-
Loving the captions on the production photos. "Michael Jordan sits helplessly as Bugs soliloquizes." "Michael Jordan recovers from a bump on the head with a new twist on some classic animation."
-
What the hell am I supposed to think about this? I feel like I fell into some crazy-assed time warp. [Stop pelvic thrusting people!]
-
"Just what you've been waiting for...'Jam junk galore! Go nuts, take it all!" let's all go nuts!!
-
I love the random "Badda Bing, Badda Boom" comment in the source code. Dunno why, it just trikes me as funny.
-
"Never on the Internet have so few worked so hard to bring you so much in so little time." Found this gem in the site map, I think it's the "so few" part that amuses me the most.
-
Really? 90% of its merch was Tweety and Taz crap. We all used to guess if Tweety was a boy or a girl all the time. I was the only one who knew the names of the obscure bean-bag dolls (remember those?). NOBODY knew any of the Hanna Barbara characters at all. Also, you had to buy an extra black character polo if you wanted a new one. So I chose one with a bat symbol and they wouldnt let me wear it. good times.
-
I wouldn't be surprised. god only know what else Rob googles when no body's looking!
-
God I miss the Warner Bros. store so bad. If I had a time machine and an unlimited credit card.....
-
"If you're using a Macintosh, just drag the image from your browswer to the desktop (or hold your mouse button down over the image and select "copy this image" from the pop-up menu). If you're using a PC-compatible machine, hold the mouse over the image and press the right mouse button. Select "save this image" from the pop-up menu. That's it, the poster is all yours. But remember, Warner Bros. still owns the copyright." Straight from the"Stellar Souvenirs" section, they actually tell you how to save an image.
-
You found the pics of Lola and thought "oh shit, the furries are going to find this" too?
-
I used to work @ the WB store in my youth and this gave me some deja-vu
-
"Never on the Internet have so few worked so hard to bring you so much in so little time." It says so right there on the Site Map page.
-
Gotta love the trailer page: "The jamminest two minutes of trailer time that ever hit a theater. It's 7.5 megs, it's Quicktime, and it's worth it." 7.5 megs?! Damn, that's gonna take forever on my 56k... :(
-
Why do I get the feeling Rob was Googling pictures of Lola when he stumbled across this?
-
The Warner Studio Store link makes me all nostalgic for the 90s and how malls used to have cool stuff in them instead of overpriced designer clothes.
-
damn, and here I thought I finally rubbed GeoShitties out of my mind.
-
my god, it's full of stars....
-
*slowly raises hand*
-
procrastination especially now that he's got that contest to judge.
-
Is anyone else reminded of GeoCities?
-
My question is whatever possessed you to go looking for this website? Granted, it's either a miracle or a horrible, horrible mistake that it's still running, but...just...why, Rob? Why?
-
I have to admit. I threw up in my mouth a little trying to surfing around
