Cool World (1992)
Member Rating:  
Four years after Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Ralph Bakshi tapped into the live action mixed with cell animated world in this adult-themed production telling the story of an edgy comic book artist who crosses the line into his own cartoon universe. The story begins with a prologue in postwar Las Vegas, where Vegas cop Frank Harris (Brad Pitt) is catapulted into the cartoon Cool World after crashing his motorcycle. The Cool World is a jive-animated parallel dimension created by animator Jack Deebs (Gabriel Byrne). Among Jack's many creations is the knock-out broad Holli Would (Kim Basinger). Holli wants to become human -- or a "noid" in Cool World parlance. So, she compels Jack to fall into his own cartoon void where her attempts to seduce him could have grave consequences for both the animated and the "real" world. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

    This is no 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit'. For the most part, the animation seems lazy and rushed, as if they couldn't wait to get the movie out. It focuses more on being vulgar and shocking for the sake of it. The dialogue seems poorly written, and the plot nonsensical. Basically, it acts as a cartoon fetishist's wet dream, coming together in a rushed ending that doesn't make much sense at all. The only real reason to watch this is if you're a fan of Brad Pitt, or just want to see it for the sake of having seen it. Otherwise, don't bother.

    This movie starts strong and edgy but looses it near the end. There are some creative ideas going on, but the early edginess and creativity only makes the forced happy ending feel even more cliched. Mostly a decent movie, even if the ending kills it.
