- Well I am one of the 10 people that actually liked Cool World. It's not great a
- film but it had it's moments. Gabriel Byrne was miscast(he looked comatose
- throughout) Kima Basinger was ok. The animation was great in some parts average
- in others. The script needed another draft. If you are tolerant and not
- expecting something more incredible than Roger Rabbit you might like it. If you
- are expecting the end all be all of "Adult" Animation rent one of Bakshi's
- earlier works or something from Japan.
