Profile of Cool World
The mood of Cool World is stylized, witty, and humorous. The plot centers around a supernatural romance, a parallel world, and a femme fatale. It features grossout humor and silly humor. Cool World is a comedy, animation, and fantasy movie. Stylistically, it is surreal. In approach, it is not serious and fantastical. Cool World takes place, at least partly, in a casino. The setting is Las Vegas. It happens in the 1990s. Visually, Cool World includes animation and live action. The musical score is electronica. It is especially suggested for a date night and teens.
Summary of Cool World
This energetic blend of live-action and animation was director Ralph Bakshi's answer to WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT and marked his return to feature films after an eight-year hiatus. The story follows two humans who encounter Cool World--a parallel universe where cartoons actually exist--and tangle with the seductive Holli Would (Kim Basinger), an ambitious animated bombshell determined to escape into three-dimensional reality. Gabriel Byrne plays Jack Deebs, the comic book artist who created and then is seduced by Holli; and Brad Pitt plays Detective Frank Harris, the Cool World cop out to make sure humans don't have sex with cartoon characters, since that act can rupture the fabric between the two universes. Of course the rupturing occurs, and all sorts of freewheeling animated hell breaks loose as cartoon misfits of all shapes and sizes invade the city of Las Vegas. With a thumping techno score that includes tracks from Moby and David Bowie and such goofy touches as Holli singing "Let's Make Love" with Frank Sinatra Jr., COOL WORLD is definitely a freaky place to visit.
