Space Jam Happy Meals Coming To McDonalds

As fans count the days to the July 16 release of Space Jam: A New Legacy, McDonald's announced today that they would begin packaging toys based on the film with their Happy Meals. 25 years after the fast food giant first packaged plush Space Jam toys with their kid meals in 1996, they're picking up where they left off, albeit without the plush. So don't expect these Space Jam toys to smell like fries after you get them opened up. As has been the case with most of their recent IP-driven tie-ins, the toys will be carried in specially-designed boxes built around Space Jam: A New Legacy.

Each box will include one of 12 different characters dunking, dribbling and more. As always, this Happy Meal will be available for a limited time at participating restaurants nationwide while supplies last.

It's game time for Bugs Bunny, Lola Bunny, Taz and others as the Happy Meal gets a Tune-up for the first time since 1996! Starting today, fans can enjoy special Happy Meal toy versions of Looney Tunes characters from the upcoming animated/live-action event film Space Jam: A New Legacy, in U.S. theaters and on HBO Max July 16.
