Cool World

AnimationComedyFantasy102 min

Gabriel Byrne is Jack Deebs, a cartoonist serving time for murder who escapes into the comic-book universe he created, Cool World. When Holli Would, the blonde bombshell at the center of his drawings, pulls him inside that dimension, Jack finds himself trapped in a place where live action and animation collide. Kim Basinger gives Holli her sultry, dangerous edge, while Brad Pitt's Frank Harris patrols the city as a hard-boiled detective and the only other human there. His rule is simple: noids and doodles don’t have sex — because crossing that line can tear open the boundary between the two worlds.
