Simply A Masterpiece

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

I thought this movie was absolutely terrible. The drawings are bad, the characters are bad and of course, the storyline itself was bad also. The cartoon characters looked obviously from a rip off of Disney & Warner Brother's Looney Tunes together. To be honest, both don't mix well for a parody like this! They should've made it look child friendly when its not or not have done with cartoons at all. Just add the beautiful Holli Would as a cartoon and then she would be transforming as a human in the end. That would be a better idea because then, this movie would be a success without any faults whatsoever!Even if i hate this movie, i do love Holli Would. She is like a bad girl with an attitude. Shes like herself in this and its just ashame that she had to be in this movie. She is so much better than it! Some people say she's a Jessica Rabbit Copycat but, she is not Jessica Rabbit. She really is different from all the sex symbols in the cartoon world. I even loved Kim Basinger when her character Holli turned into a human. She loved absolutely beautiful!This really isn't an ideal film to watch if you think its gonna be child friendly, its not. Its just a sloppy made film that really should've been shelved. I feel so sorry for Brad Pitt, Gabriel Byrne and Kim Basinger being in this film, it is not one of their best films they have ever done!

Brad Pitt and Kim Basinger in the same film, gorgeous - what could go wrong, right? Well, seems as if that leaves a lot open. This was without doubt one of the worst films in the history of cinema. Even Brad struggled, acting opposite 'toons and only him being gorgeous saved him. Kim Basinger, playing a cartoon when she was real, was dreadful, and even Gabriel Byrne was awful. Nothing about this film was a plus except some of the cartoon scenes with Holli Would dancing were good graphics and certainly appealing to men, no doubt.I found all the antics/anarchy by the "extras" 'toons annoying and gross, not to mention pointless, and over all the film was too adult in theme to make sense of how stupid and low-brow, naff and badly done it was. If it was a children's film, it would have worked better but the whole film was based on the premise that 'noids (humanoids) didn't have sex with cartoons and Holli's porn-esque writhing and posing were not suitable for kids. So what was the point? The acting was too bad to make it titillating for adults.It is trying to be Who Framed Roger Rabbit? which was eminently better despite being four years earlier, better drawn and better acted and greatly better toon/human interaction. So it's trying to be WFRR and failing dismally.A dreadful film, saved only by some sexy toon dancing by Holli, Brad Pitt being gorgeous and a cutesy Hollywood romantic ending. Awful film, skipped through a bit of the "filler 'toon mayhem" scenes as wanted it to end.

I love animation. I also love the interaction of animation with live action. And I have often felt that it would be interesting to see animation for adults rather than kids.Enter Cool World.And exit again, rather rapidly. If you didn't see it when it came out, the odds are you probably haven't seen it despite the fact that it stars Kim Basinger (then near the top of her arc of success), Gabriel Byrne, and Brad Pitt (both in the early stages of their careers).The reason why it disappeared, why it practically never shows up on TV, is because it's a mess. A good idea, yes. Eye catching, yes. Decently animated - for the most part, yes. But overall, it is an incoherent shambles, and what you are left with is fragments of memory of what it looked like and a couple of major plot points (Basinger plays a cartoon character invented by Byrne who wants to have sex with him, and, er...). Everything else disappears into a miasma of confusion.It is worth seeking out the background story on what happened.A valiant effort and, perhaps, worth catching just for what it looks like, but a misfire.

We enter Cool World, a world that is full of cartoons and you are ageless. The only "norm" person living there is Brad Pitt's character…. This world doesn't follow the rules of physics for he and all the other cartoons do not age or die. However, they must abide by the rule that you can't do it with a norm. Of course Brad's character abides for he is the law enforcement, but you can't say that about the new guy.Holli Wood (Kim Basinger's character) wants to change it all, she wants to be real and live in the real world, at the risk fusing the two world together.I must say, Kim Basinger is super hot. Not that, that's any news. She looks just like her cartoon character, and it's quite amazing. Holli Wood is in the Caliber of Jessica Rabbit, but the real one actually exudes the same hotness.Brad Pitt's character is flat, but hey this is old compared to his successes. It was bit of a let downer because I've been waiting to see this for quite some time, but considering all the plot flaws, it's entertainment value was alright. Not the best but certainly not the worst.
