Description

When ex-con cartoonist Jack Deebs (Gabriel Byrne) was behind bars he found escape by creating Cool World, a cartoon series featuring a voluptuous vixen named Holli Would. But the 'toonsmith becomes a prisoner of his own fantasies when Holli pulls Jack into Cool World with a scheme to seduce him and bring herself to life. A hard-boiled detective (Brad Pitt) - the only other human in Cool World - cautions Jack with the law: 'Noids (humans) don't have sex with doodles (cartoons). The flesh proves weaker than ink, however, as Holli takes human form (Kim Basinger) in Las Vegas, starting a trans-universal chase that threatens the destruction of both worlds. With a splashy mix of animation and live-action sequences, Cool World delivers the hottest action around.

    when she wrote "Bakshi's skill as as an animator continues to outshine his judgment about subject matter." I'm glad at least that he was able to rein in his florid racism this time. The only one of his films that I woudl pay 99 cents to rent.

    Maybe the fives stars was too much but its so bad its good. A great concept with horrible execution. The story is flat and goes off the rails at times but the production design is wild and whimsically urban, the animation is cute and weird at the same time and the music is awesome for a live-action/animated hybrid. Great casting for an adult's time at the movies. If only it were better than anticipated. Definitely deserves a Criterion release for the real life story behind the film than the film itself.

    It's not bad It's not good and yet it keeps you entertained at least as much as a movie with a dozen plot holes can the main problem with the film is it never explains how Jack Deebs keeps world jumping the second is that it also never explains how a doodle becomes Noid when they do it And finally in they end what the hell happened to Deebs and Holli? Where are they? Are they in the spike? Thankfully none of that is answered but for the most part it's a good film good soundtrack good animation choppy at a few points but the reason the film ends up sucking is because of the ending when Deebs and Harris both become doodles they both should have stayed in the real world
  • Awesome...

    Its so bad that its great. Its unusual, but it hooks you, even though it doesnt flow well between the real and animated worlds.
  • Brad Pitt meets Holli Would - Great Album, good movie.

    It is a decent story idea, and good acting and performances from all the voice actors too. It just needs a bit of re-editing to pick up the pace of the movie, to reach a real cartoon pace ! A fun movie to rent if you love cartoons, just fast forward through the slow parts. Super GREAT music too, lead song by none other than David Bowie! I rented the movie then bought the sound track: David Bowie, Thompson Twins, Ministry, The Cult, Moby, and many more. Two sexy techno tunes: 'Play With Me' and 'Her Sassy Kiss'. Preview the album, it's a good one.
  • So not worth watching

    This movie did have some pros, good animation, good soundtrack, good actors but the con was the script it did'nt make sence and was so cheap in the movie you could clearly see the props were flat cardboard . This movie is utterly horrible, a major dissapointment and so not worth wasting your money on. Don't buy this movie trust me.
  • Awesome.

    I've loved this movie since I was little, it was weird and fascinating. Every character had it's own personality and Holli Would tops them all. a wonderful mix of cartoon and reality this movie comes in as one of my favorites and a retro classic.
