Frightening and disturbing Dec 31 2003
Format:DVD
You cannot judge this movie by conventional standards. This is not meant to be Roger Rabbit for adults, it is not meant to be Citizen Kane, it is not meant to be Wierd Science. It is meant to be a completely different genre all by itself, and must be judged as such.

This movie scares me. Not in the sense of "it scares me that anyone would make a movie this bad," but more in the Blair Witch Project kind of scary. What it lacks in plot and scripting, it makes up for in atmosphere and creepiness. The "wooden nickels" scene is an example of this; some guy throws a handful of wooden nickels to some innocent kids, and the nickels proceed to open their mouths and devour the unsuspecting children. It's this kind of random, disturbing event that makes Cool World worth watching. This is a wierd movie for when you need to go on a major acid trip but you don't want to actually put drugs into your system. It is the movie to watch when you want to leave all reality and morality behind and think about what could happen if we could interact with cartoon characters in a cartoon world that, unlike the "toontown" of Roger Rabbit, resembles our own world much more closely than we'd like to think.

ADULT ANIMATION, NOT FOR YOUNG CHILDREN May 30 2004
By A Customer
Format:DVD
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.

Kim basinger is probably the main problem with this movie. As soon as she came into the picture the movie lost its coolness. The animation was awesome though.

Bakshi's worst movie
The movie is poorly written not to mention the lame special effects. Its a completly souless film. If you liked Fritz the Cat,Wizards,American Pop, or other films by Ralph Bakshi,... Read more

Holly Wood If She Could
Cool World is a more mainstream effort from Ralph Bakshi (Lord of the Rings, Wizards, American Pop) than some of his other works but it still shows his genius. Read more

Well, the reviews certainly run the gamut with this one! I personally very much enjoy seeing this film, and continue to do so, whenever it comes on cable. Read more

Needs more appreciation!!!
In my opinion, this movie is vastly underrated! One problem is that people want to compare it to Who Framed Roger Rabbit since they both make use of live action and animation. Read more

for teens only
I was never aloud to watch this movie when I was younger, and for good reason. This movie would only be good for people who know curse words and know about sex. Read more

This film is an Abomination
This might be the worst film ever made. The only 'cool' part was when I left the theater. Everyone who's fingerprints are on this train wreck should be in prison. Read more

An Interesting Movie to Watch
I rather liked this movie. Despite some animation/real life scenes where both sides mixed and just didn't fit, it is a good movie to watch. Read more

Vapid only in the eye of the beholder
...I will give Ralph B. credit for sticking to his artistic vision, however oddly anachronistic it may seem in this age of CG technology. Read more
