Cool World

1992's Cool World marked Ralph Bakshi's return to feature films after nine years. Bakshi wrote the original screenplay, which was ordered by producer Frank Mancuso Jr. to be heavily re-written. The final version of the screenplay, written by Michael Grais and Mark Victor (and an uncredited Larry Gross) barely resembled the story that Bakshi conceieved.

Synopsis

Gabriel Byrne plays Jack Deebs, the comic book artist who created and then is seduced by Holli. Brad Pitt plays Detective Frank Harris, the Cool World cop (who has chosen to stay in Cool World) out to make sure humans don't have sex with cartoon characters, since that act can rupture the fabric between the two universes. The twist lies in the fact that after all these years Frank Harris also has fallen in love with Lonette, a sexy waitress in Cool World.

Deebs was sent to jail for murdering a man he found in bed with his wife. During his prison sentence, he had visions of the Cool World and of the sexy blonde humanoid female doodle Holli Would (Kim Basinger). Shortly after being released from prison and returning to his home in Las Vegas, Nevada, Deebs is pulled into the Cool World (which really exists independently of Deebs) by Holli. Holli wants to have sexual intercourse with Deebs so she can become real and feel real things and enter the Real World, but sexual relationships between Noids (humans) and doodles (toons) is illegal in Cool World and Frank Harris, aided by his partner Nails the spider-like doodle, keeps a sharp eye on Holli and Deebs, but eventually Holli and Deebs have sex and Holli turns into a noid. Deebs and Holli heads to Deebs's home dimension or universe, but the barrier between the Cool and Real Worlds has been thrown out of balance and Deebs and Holli repeatedly turn into clown-like doodles. Holli manages to find the Golden Spike of Power, which turns her back into a doodle and releases many monsterous doodles into the Real World. Deebs turns into a super-powered humanoid doodle (nicknamed Super Jack), and puts the Golden Spike back into its place; Deebs is stuck, perhaps forever, in the Cool World, but he has plans to marry Holli.
