The combination of real and animated characters is not convincing.

It's really too bad that we couldn't get the original vision of this movie, as I suspect it would be pretty great. As it stands it really a cheap Roger Rabbit knockoff. I have always been disappointed by this movie's promise, ever since I was a kid, but viewing it with fresh eyes and expectations in check it's got some fun stuff going on.

Anything but cool, Cool World is a bizarre mixture of live-action and animation. The story follows a doodle named Holli from the animated realm Cool World who’s trying to cross over to the real-world. Starring Brad Pitt, Kim Basinger, and Gabriel Byrne, the cast has some talent; but they’re not used particularly well. Additionally, the animated character designs are incredibly generic and grimy. But what really hurts the film is Ralph Bakshi’s directing, which is overly busy with nonsensical cartoon action that’s not related to what’s happening in the scenes. And, the actors are poorly integrated into the animation (and vice versa). A crazy mess of a film, Cool World tries to do too much and ends up failing at everything.

The animation style and great soundtrack--dated in a fine way--make up for such a lousy and uninspired script. I'd much rather come across Shirley Clarke's similarly titled film from the 60's inst More

I'm not 100% positive but I think my parents took me to see this, when I was only 11 years old, and I'm pretty sure they were at the very least unconformable though this was only a month after they took me to see Batman Returns so... Anyway, seeing this again after 30 years, this feels like a movie More

I finally saw this for the first time tonight, and wow! I'm quite impressed with the concept they got going with the alternate worlds: Cool World vs the Real World, and "doodles" vs "noids". It's definitely not one to watch when kids are around; this one is for the more matur More
