Day 7: Cool World

Method of Acquisition: Borrowed

Runtime: 101 minutes Year: 1992

Plot: Brad Pitt enters into a cartoon world and has adventures with its creator and its inhabitants.

Review: The visuals are rad but by no means high quality. Even for 1992, the animation is not great however that just adds to the charm. The plot is secondary to the action. For example, Brad Pitt leaves the 40s, goes to the other world, and then goes back to the real world but in the 1990s and doesn't bat an eye. As far as I can tell, having him come from the 1940s was purely to justify his choice in suits. The roles of women are kind of pathetic. Holli Would, the main female character, is kind of just a crazy whore. Brad Pitt's animated girlfriend does nothing but whine. While not a feminist masterpiece, it serves its purpose. The back of the box uses the word "splashy". It fits.
