A cartoon vixen named Holli Would becomes involved with her creator, Jack Deebs. When she finally becomes human all hell breaks loose in this movie that mixes live action and animation...

Cool World may look as thought it is aimed at the same market as Roger Rabbit was... but it most certainly is not. The content is certainly more adult oriented. Cool World is the creation of imprisoned cartoonist Jack Deebs and features a comic strip vamp who endeavours to become human. How can she accomplish this? By seducing her cartoonist creator and have sex with him in order to cross over into the real world.

And, apart from the fact that Brad Pitt appears as a human (or "noid" as they are known in Cool Word) private detective, not much more happens. The cartoon characters (or "doodles") wander around beating each other up - in a very bad trip stylee! The animation is poor, the narrative doesn't flow very well and the whole thing plays like the most pretentious rubbish your likely to see outside of a student arthouse film festival.

The beginning is slow, confusing and dull; the middle is slow and dull; but the conclusion is enjoyable - just not enough to save this movie from being a disaster.

Not a very cool movie and you will probably be a noid if you buy this!
