Cool World Customer Reviews (7 - 9 of 14 Reviews)

ADULT ANIMATION, NOT FOR YOUNG CHILDREN
The dvd has Great Quality Sound and Video with lots of vivid colors and many sexual inuendos. There is a Great story line as long as you can follow a plot that suggests that there is more to life than just living on "earth" such as going back and forth to alternate universes. If you have seen and liked "MEET THE FEEBLES" You'll like this one too - this one does not have any bloody scenes or explicit sexual scenes, much is left up to the imagination. I think that Many people need to Learn to use their imagination more and not be so closed-minded.

An Underrated Cult Classic.
This film has been called Roger Rabbit's sleazier cousin...with good reason. Yes, the plot is contrived. Yes, the acting flatter than the animation. But this movie is ... entertaining!

Cool World begins in Las Vegas shortly after WWII. A young man is in a motorcycle accident, and is unwittingly sucked into the "Cool World", a hip dimension populated by cartoons. Unable to return, he becomes a Cool World Police Officer, and is the only human there. Years later, a dopey, lovesick comic book artist also is pulled into Cool World by none other than Miss Holli Would...a vampy animated seductress who wants to enter the "Real World" at any cost...

Cool World is a film with a very unique animation style that brings to mind classic 40's cartoons like Betty Boop or Red Hot Riding Hood, only they're given a sexier edge. The characters are also what makes Cool World cool. Harris, Jack, and especially Lonnette are surprisingly three-dimensional and likable. The soundtrack is also excellent, a features a catchy theme song by David Bowie. Sadly, the film could have been much better. It's full of missed opportunities (such as the Jack-in-prison subplot) and the script needed a *lot* more polishing. Also, the blending of animation and live-action is far from seamless. Cool World will make you laugh and entertain you, in a very MST3K sense, but it's still worth watching. And I want Cool World on DVD!

worth a second look (believe it or not)
When I first wrote this review which was pretty much negative, it had been 5 years since I saw Cool World. I watched it for the second time last week and there is something about this "sleazy cousin of Who Framed Roger Rabbit" as a previous reviewer put it that for some reason holds a bit of my interst. Cool World could probably be described as one of the not-so-great movies that features the interaction of cartoons and real people. Not only is the plot weak, it has a bit of a naughty side to it. Still, there is something about Cool World that make me want to possibly see it a third time. For one thing, Kim Basinger makes a sexy cartoon character. Another thing is that I have always favored and been fascinated by movies that put cartoons and real people together such as Bednobs and Broomsticks, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and Space Jam just to name a few. However, Cool World is definately not a movie that I would go out and buy. So what I'm saying is that if Cool World comes on television I would suggest giving it a look but I wouldn't suggest spending money to rent it unless you just feel you have to see it. Of course, if you compare Cool World to Who Framed Roger Rabbit as many reviewers have done, you will be disappointed. Cool World is only worth 2.5 stars at most but I'll give it the other half star just to be nice. Word of caution to parents; this movie is rated PG-13 for a good reason and should not be viewed by children under 13 or by children even a couple years older than 13 as far as I'm concerned.
