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.

Trivia

In the original script for the film written by Ralph Bakshi, Holli is called 'Debbie Dallas', and when she and Deebs have sex, they have a son who is a strange mixture of live-action and animated body-parts. The child hates himself for what his is and what he isn't, and goes to the Real World in order to try to murder his irresponsible father.

In the comic book adaption of the film by DC Comics, Holli Would was presumably killed when she touched the Spike of Power, and Jack Deebs was trapped in the fourth dimension (a desert landscape).
