- Synopsis:
When ex-con cartoonist Jack Deebs (Gabriel Byrne) was behind bars he found escape by creating 'Cool World', a cartoon series featuring a voluptuous vixen named Holli Would (Kim Basinger). But the 'toonsmith becomes a prisoner of his own fantasies when Holli pulls Jack into 'Cool World' with a scheme to seduce him and bring herself to life. A hard-boiled detective - the only other human in 'Cool World' - cautions Jack with the law: Noids don't have sex with doodles. The flesh proves weaker than ink, however, as Holli takes human form in Las Vegas, starting a trans-universal chase that threatens the destruction of both worlds. With a splashy mix of animation and live-action sequences, 'Cool World' delivers the hottest action around. - Actors:

Who Framed This Mess? - Cool World review by griggs
Bakshi sold Cool World as an adult Roger Rabbit, but it’s a total mess. Half the time you’ve no idea what’s going on—scenes fly by so fast and chaotically it’s like watching someone channel surf on acid. The animation’s all over the place, the characters stretch and morph so much they lose all personality, and the live-action bits never blend in. Even the big Holli Would moment gets ruined by pointless cutaways. It’s noisy, messy, and just plain baffling.
