You may have heard that there's a new Space Jam film on the way – and if you've been on the internet in the last 24 hours, you may have also heard that said film features a certain redesign of a certain character. Yep, Lola Bunny has been reworked, and, for better or worse (definitely worse), some corners of the internet are unhappy about it.

A mere 25 years after the original graced screens in 1996, Space Jam: A New Legacy is due for release this year. We've just been given our first glimpse of the semi-animated adventure, including the new Lola Bunny – and the film's director has even felt compelled to explained the alterations to her appearance. (If you're looking for tips on your own toons, check out our character design guide).
