When LeBron is asked what was the key to bringing the team together, he replies, “Two words, Lola Bunny. The best sidekick ever. “

Director Malcolm D. Lee has said he needs to go in a new direction with the character of Lola who originated in Michael Jordan’s 1996 live action / animated film, “Space Jam.” Voiced by Kath Soucie, Lola Bunny was famous for her sultry outfits and Bugs Bunny’s phrase, “Never call me ‘doll’. ”

“Lola was not politically correct,” Lee told Entertainment Weekly in March. “It’s a children’s movie, why is she wearing a crop top?” It was just unnecessary, but at the same time, there is a long history of it in cartoons. “

Lee sought to “reflect the authenticity of strong and capable female characters.”

“We reworked a lot of things, not just 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,” said Lee. “For us that was, let’s support her athletic prowess, her leadership skills and make her as complete a character as any other. “

The reactions on Twitter were predictable, with fans nostalgic for the original voice expressing their disappointment.

“Her voice doesn’t match Lola Bunny. Looks like Zendaya doesn’t really speak Lola Bunny, ”wrote a Twitter user.

“It’s weird. Why is Zendaya’s voice coming out of Lola Bunny? Another wrote.

“Zendaya playing Zendaya. well done, ”wrote another Twitter user.

But there were a lot of fans supporting the cast.

“ZENDAYA VOICE LOLA BUNNY ?! I will pass out, ”wrote one of them. Twitter user.

“Why didn’t anyone tell me Zendaya was doing the voice of LOLA BUNNY?!?” »Wrote another Twitter user.
