The danger of mixing reality with fantasy is absolute

Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2021

Verified Purchase

Tom and Jerry on acid, with Roger Rabbit antics involving a comic strip vamp who wants to lose her V card to become real.

Plot and acting are disjointed, established rules are broken immediately and the producer and Paramount were aiming for a Roger Rabbit but with the Director aiming for "hard R" rating and a much darker and twisted story. According to an article, the producer had the story line secretly re-written. When the director found out there was a massive argument and the producer got punched in the face.

This movie is a creative expression of the dangers of mixing reality with fantasy. And its so dark, twisted and un-organized that I believe each person who views it will walk away with their own unique take.

I recommend snacks and alcohol. Its definitely got some nonsense to wade though and you will want your social inhibitors dialed down about 3 clicks. I wouldn't recommend any mind altering substances, this film will take care of that for you.

Quality of video excellent, forgot how much this movie sucked

I ordered this because for some reason I remember the movie being better and wanted to watch it again. I forgot how much it actually sucks. The quality of the blu-ray is good, no complaints with the condition or picture, just the movie is dumb, but that is not the sellers fault. So I didn't take away any stars.

Enter a Zany Animated World

Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2023

Verified Purchase

As a fan of classic animation and wacky comedies, I was excited to finally watch "Cool World" on DVD. The film, which was released in 1992, combines live-action and animation in a surreal, adult-oriented story that feels like a wild acid trip.

Directed by Ralph Bakshi, known for his edgy and irreverent animated films, "Cool World" tells the story of Jack Deebs (Gabriel Byrne), a cartoonist who is serving time in prison for killing a man. In his mind, he creates a fantasy world called Cool World, populated by sexy cartoon characters that he can't resist. When he is unexpectedly transported to Cool World, he discovers that he can interact with his creations in ways he never imagined.

The film features an impressive cast of actors, including Brad Pitt, who plays a rebellious cartoon character named Frank Harris, and Kim Basinger, who portrays the seductive and dangerous cartoon vixen, Holli Would. The chemistry between Pitt and Basinger is electric, and their scenes together are some of the film's highlights.

While the plot of "Cool World" is far from perfect and can be confusing at times, it's the film's animation that really steals the show. The animation is vibrant, colorful, and full of life, and it perfectly captures the zany and off-the-wall tone of the film.

Overall, "Cool World" is a fun, wild ride that is perfect for fans of unconventional animated films. The DVD transfer is crisp and clear, and the special features provide a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film. I highly recommend this DVD to anyone looking for a unique and entertaining viewing experience.

Great film and great art!

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2021

Obviously there are a lot of mixed reviews here.
But, the mind that this came from is the reason it is out there. Ralph Bakshi is an awesome animator!
And though the story is weird and has a lot of weird plot holes, it is a great story anyway.
People who say there is no story must have watched it on mute. The story is easy; one dude dies (kind of) in the real world and in some freak way, crosses over to Cool World an animated universe. There is a gredy, self serving chick toon named Holli Would and badly wants to be real and in the real world to be an evil, powerful human. So, she uses a murderer artist to seduce, "do the naughty", and become real, to enter the real world.
All the extra stuff that makes no sense is just part of the universe and what came out of the mind of Bakshi lol
Give it a shot. If you don't like it, move on. Roger Rabbit is an excellent movie to watch instead

it such a complicated idea. The whole point is that a parallel animated world has always existed and the 'artists' in our human world timeline are just mear translators of that parallel universe. Its like chicken and the egg sort of idea. and its great! this movie doesn't try to answer that, it just reminds us the possibility exists. this coming out before the matrix and space jam. pure innovation. plot and script is obviously not for the perfectionist. this film is a thrill ride in all of its out of the box context. Bratt Pitt and Kim Bassinger were perfect. don't listen to the nay sayers watch this while you can. They definitely don't make them now like they used too. Hollywood today is more of hollywont.

It was alright.

Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2015

Verified Purchase

The main plot was simple but decent enough and some of the animation was fantastic. But a lot of the background animation was erratic and a little distracting. It looked like a bunch of cartoons who've had too much caffeine were just let loose from an insane asylum. That may have been the point, but I didn't like it. Pitt's acting was pretty minimalist as well, although the parts at the beginning (outside of Cool World) were better, so maybe it was supposed to illustrate (pun intended) how the world had affected him. Basinger's live-action acting wasn't quite top notch either, but she only played a small part of the live-action portion. Her voice acting seemed fine and appropriate for the character. It was enjoyable, but not one of my favorite films.

Classico dell'animazione

Reviewed in Italy on November 8, 2023

Questo è un interessante film che presenta scelte di messa in scena e stilistiche particolari, come le scenografie volutamente di cartone e bidimensionali che vengono sostituite con quelle "tridimensionali" a seconda dell'inquadratura.
L'umorismo adulto e grottesco si abbina a personaggi di contorno buffi e comici, andando a creare un vero e proprio Cool World, espressione del fumetto di nicchia dell'epoca.
