A bizarre accident lands Frank Harris in Cool World, a realm of cartoons. Years later, cartoonist Jack Deebs, who's been drawing Cool World, crosses over as well. He sets his lustful sights on animated femme fatale Holli Would, but she's got plans of her own to become real, and it's up to Frank to stop her.

Cool World Audience Reviews

Ensofter Overrated and overhyped
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Eric Stevenson The funny thing is that this movie was already reviewed by MarzGurl (and Linkara) and Doug Walker originally thought he wouldn't review it as the Nostalgia Critic, but he eventually changed his mind. Good thing, because the real Ralph Bakshi actually commented on this review. It was great to learn more about the film's history. This movie started off as an R-rated movie about a person who's half human and half cartoon and turns evil realizing they don't belong in the human or cartoon world. Instead, Bakshi's script was heavily changed into basically a ripoff of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit". It's hard to see how the original idea would be worse than this.I guess that some of the animation is pretty good, but this film is so hard to follow. We even have these random animated scenes that are just splattered throughout the film and make no sense. As much as they have stuff going on all the time, it's actually surprisingly boring for me. It's just that most of the time none of these scenes are relevant to the story and it's mostly pointless. There's very little explanation on this cartoon world works at all. There's even a part where Brad Pitt doesn't want to be a hero but later it's Jack who's supposed to be a hero. Uh, I just couldn't follow this at all and I found it stupid. *1/2
bheadher I don't understand why a pile of rotten tomatoes parked on this film...For an early ninetys movie, the merging of cartoons and real actors was well done, I thought. The plot is weird, but not hard to figure out. A Rodger Rabbit it ain't, but who cares. The two movies dealt with similar but diverse plots, heh heh...Anyway, I gave it a six for trying, and succeeding to entertain me...The old saying goes like this...you can't make a purse out of a sows ear, but honestly, this movie wasn't trying toSheesh, it's hard to get ten lines with this thing...just accept that it isn't as bad a movie as many here would have you believe...
Taylorlawrence-1546 Cool word is a movie everybody hates I do not know y it has a good plot good acting and Kim basinger ;) cool world is and excellent extremely underrated movie but u people who hate it need to do one thing...STOP COMPAREING IT TO ROGER RABBIT!!!!!!! They 2 different movies both good I actually like this better nothing against Roger rabbit but cool provides a journey into another world a wacky zany place where cartoons live some not knowing about human world and have no interest but some do...you will find out all that when u watch it I don't wanna spoil it for u but by all means BUY THIS MOVIE U WILL NOT REGRET!!!!!! It's one of brad Pitts first I cannot describe how good this flick is it's amazing!!!!! It is probably one of the greatest movies ever made an I'm not just saying that I freaking mean it this is a wonderful wonderful great awesome movie I have more lines to fill so I'm gonna use em to try an sum up how great this is great awesome amazingly good will change the way u watch movies!!! Good good good good good so Good
daisyhinojosa23 As an animator, I have a thing for movies where real people and cartoons collide, so I decided to watch this film and after wards I thought it was a really good movie. First off, the animation is great. The characters are likable and fun to see on screen, and the whole idea of the movie is interesting. Though some of the acting is bad, and the plot isn't fully explained, and the ending is a little anti-climactic, the rest of the film makes up for it. I also enjoyed the sub-plot of the film, and Holli Would's dancing (thought it was obviously rotoscoped). But overall I really do believe this is an underrated film, because it contains the sexiest cartoon ever made: Holli Would. I'd recommend this film to a friend, and watch it the second time. It really is a film you'd remembered.
