Cool World [M]

Running parallel to our real world is Cool World: an animated world filled with cartoons. In Cool World there is only one rule: Noids (humans) do not have sex with Doodles (cartoons). But the law is broken when a voluptuous vixen named Holli Would pulls ex-cartoonist Jack Deebs into Cool World with a scheme to seduce him and bring herself to life. Flesh proves weaker than ink as Holli’s plan succeeds and she takes human form in Las Vegas and threatens the destruction of both worlds. 

In short, this film is stupid, stupid, STUPID! What a waste of time, effort, and money. I could not help but feel that this was a piss weak attempt to create another Who Framed Roger Rabbit and that thought alone made me rather angry, a feeling which intensified with every passing moment of this film. Seriously, DO NOT BOTHER!

Flesh proves weaker than ink as Holli’s plan succeeds and she takes human form in Las Vegas and threatens the destruction of both worlds and it falls to Jack and Frank, a hard-boiled detective, to stop her. 

A not-so-seamless combination of animation and life-action sequences, Cool World affords little to no laughs for everyone. All the cartoon characters were either overly horny or violent, which is just tasteless in my book, and there really wasn’t much story to speak of. 

To be honest the only mildly interesting features of the film were the performance of Brad Pitt and the cartoon character of Holli Would. I mean, she’s no Jessica Rabbit, but she was still a sexy cartoon and really should have stayed that way, not taken human form at all. 

Starring Brad Pitt, Gabriel Byrne, Kim Basinger, and featuring the voice talents of Maurice LeMarche, Joey Camen, Michael David Lally, and Jenine Jennings, Cool World was a pointless and pathetic excuse for a film that affords no laughs, kicks, or enjoyment of any kind for any audience. 

Filled with animated characters, sex, drama, action, romance, and comedy, you can seriously lead a happy and fulfilled life without having seen this movie. Please do take my advice on this one: DON’T BLOODY BOTHER!
