PEOPLE, Page 75Bakshi's Back and Basinger's Got 'Im
By MICHAEL QUINN
When animator RALPH BAKSHI debuted in 1972 with the
X-rated escapade Fritz the Cat, his was a raw-edged voice in a
wilderness of cloying cartoon cutesiness. Maybe too raw. His
uneasy relationship with Hollywood ended many films later with
1981's American Pop -- or seemed to. "Now suddenly they all want
animated films," Bakshi laughs, "and they figured out I was
alive." The result is this summer's Cool World, Bakshi's live
action/animated feature about a cartoon temptress who becomes
"real" by seducing her creator, GABRIEL BYRNE. KIM BASINGER
stars as the inkwell refugee, appearing both in cartoon guise
and in the flesh. Bakshi's renewed respectability is summed up
in Cool World's budget. His most expensive previous film cost
$4 million. Cool World's bills totaled $28 million.
