While incarcerated for murder, cartoonist Jack Deebs found escape by creating Cool World, a series featuring a voluptuous femme fatale named Holli Would. But the artist becomes a prisoner of his own fantasies when Holli transports Jack into Cool World with a scheme to seduce him and bring herself to life. Hard-boiled detective Frank Harris – the only other human in Cool World – cautions Jack with the law: Noids (humans) don't have sex with doodles (cartoons). However, flesh proves weaker than ink as Holli takes human form in Las Vegas, staring in a trans-universal chase that threatens the destruction of both worlds.
Cool World is a 1992 animated fantasy comedy that blends live-action and animation as a cartoonist imprisoned for murder finds himself drawn into his own creation by a seductive cartoon character. The film explores the dangerous intersection between fantasy and reality when the animated femme fatale Holli Would attempts to break free from the comic page and into the human world. Released in July 1992, it remains a cult classic for its unique visual style and audacious premise.
