    Nice job guys, very well done. Not only is it nice to see another video from Marz (unfortunately a rare occurrence) but we get Linkara in the deal. Huzzah!
  • tkilgore777
    I think she's picked up with her updating frequency a fair clip.
  • Trencher  - I remember this film.
    When I saw it on late late night tv I remember that I thought it was supposed to be a vision of hell!.
    Awesome review.

    By the end of writing the script for this, we were in pain from how awful this thing is. Any semblance of a good idea that may have come from this story died a swift and terrible death.

    Still, you and GIR...(awesome)

    Actually, if my movie memory serves me correctly, all of what Cool World is is completely not what the creator Ralph Bakshi had in mind.

    According to some articles I found http:// www.dvdverdict.com/ interviews/ ralphbakshi.php, the original intention for Cool World was to create the first animated horror film, which involved a cartoonist, live action, who goes to bed with a cartoon girl and they create a girl, a bastardized child, half live and half rea; the half human, half cartoon child would then travel to the real world and try to murder its irresponsible father.

    And as the quote of Ralph Bakshi said about it [i]"Well, Cool World blew me out of the business, if you want an honest answer. When I went to Paramount I wanted to do the first animated horror film. I hadn't done a film in a long time and basically the original script I handed in was a cartoonist, live action, who goes to bed with a cartoon girl and they create a girl, a bastardized child, half live and half real. Paramount bought that script and when I was on location and they gave me a new script. Frank Mancuso, Jr. had the script rewritten in secret. I had a huge fight with the guy and punched Mancuso, Jr. in the mouth. But Mancuso's father ran Paramount Pictures, he was Frank Mancuso, Sr., so I had nowhere to go. Then Kim Basinger, who I never wanted in the picture -- I wanted Drew Barrymore and Brad Pitt at that point -- Kim wanted a PG film to show in hospitals so she could get a good reputation. She told Alec Baldwin that on the set and I told her she was out of her fucking mind. It was a total disaster.

    I should have quit but I had a lot of animators there that I'd brought in and I thought that maybe I could just have fun animating this stuff, which I did. As far as the script, the one that I wrote that I sold, that's out of the window. I think that was the beginning of the producer becoming powerful in Hollywood. There was a time when the directors were making the movies. Then it shifted back to producers. Most directors are traffic managers, but very well paid."[/i]

    Wow, if I ever get myself a movie company, I would totally go for this idea Ralph Bakshi made O:.

    Sides that, very nice work on the review Marzgurl and Linkara.
  • Richard Wesker
    Wow, I never knew the backstory was that messed up. Hollyweird is a really unwelcoming place for artists, but I guess that's par for the course. Seriously, thanks for the info.

    SENSE.

    This movie makes none.

    I'm really pleased with Linkara cross-overs, since it was mainly reviews, and not just sketches with other team members. Considering everhing was made in a hotel room, I'm really impressed. :cheer:
  • FredTHAreD
    Hooray for Gir+Linkara Hat.
  • Richard Wesker
    I have to take exception to criticizing the animation quality in Cool World. Holly herself is really well animated, at least. Plus, compare this to today's "animation" like Family Guy. True, it's a TV show, but a 2nd grader could draw it. At least Cool World had a little bit of effort put into it. The same cannot be said of its script and "characters" however.
  • MysticStudiosProductions
    I'd also like to point out that underground cartoonist Spain Rodriguez drew Jack's artwork in the film.

    Spain was one of several cartoonists (including S. Clay Wilson, Robert Williams, and Rick Griffin) that saw [i]Fritz the Cat[/i] with Robert Crumb before the film's release. Crumb told them that if any of them tried to work with Bakshi, he would no longer associate with them or publish their work.
  • Richard Wesker
    Sounds like some drama. Unfortunate. It's always been my assertion that artists should try to stick together as much as possible. I am also sorry to say that I've never seen Fritz the Cat, although I hear that it's the first animation to ever garner an X-rating.

    Oh wow. I haven't watched the whole video yet. But I got an idea of where this is going. And...chances are I'm going to suffer. I already knew the suckage of this movie beforehand.

    I'm going to assume this movie is going to be torn to shreds by marz and linkara.
  • nebezial
    i remember when i first saw this movie... i was a kid and right about open to anything.... and i was confused/bored sh..less even as a kid i wanted to see some plot. yeah i know this isnt a kids movie really but in croatia they had this under cartoons at the videostore XD
  • mardcon2002  - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Wannabe
    avatar
    This movie came out four years after "Who framed Roger Rabbit?" I think that is what the studio was hoping to do, make a darker "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"
    I remember trying to watch this on TV and not being able to follow it, and I was a kid at the time.
    Brad Pitt was just famous enough to do something, shall we say experimental? But he is still Brad Pitt. All he has to do is take off that shirt and all was forgiven. Same thing for Kim Basinger, this movie is a blemish on her resumee, but she recovered very well, by purchasing a town in Georgia, now that's a great recovery.
    All celebrities should do that, after you make a razzie, go buy a podunk town. Snoop Dogg, and Justin Chatwin (Dragonball Evolution) could own a state within 3 years. ;)

    This is a great review. Very nice.
  • Cluzic
    Who thought that... thing was a good idea. That was completely batshit insane. And not in the So Bad It's Good sort of way.

    Good review though.
  • damocles
    The review was hilarious but i must say one thing...I still love Cool World,i'm serious,i love it with all of its flaws and terrible writing and plot holes,i still think it's at least decent and that the "Sure,why not" policy of the movie was intentional.That's just my opinion though...

    Well, the official story is that Ralph Bakshi wanted to do a Horror movie about a real-life man having sex with a cartoon and producing some kind of hybrid that he could never escape from, owing to the idea that a creator could never get away from their work, but the studio rewrote the entire script.

    I'm not sure his original idea was all that good, but it probably would've made more sense than this.

    Follow-Up to my previous comment. Couldn't agree more with the given review. Same way I felt about the movie, it makes no goddamn sense. And yeah, this is another crossover that worked. Marz and Linkara make a good review team, so kudos to the both of ya. Thanks for uploading this.

    Hooray, now I don't need to watch this movie :)
    Still, I think a darker version of [i]Who Framed Roger Rabbit[/i] could potentially be good, but here the producers seem to have confused 'dark' with 'annoying.'

    :woohoo: KIRBY VERSES GENESIS :woohoo:
  • Prowl
    I remember seeing Cool World when it first came out. And I remember the sex-turning-cartoons-to- people thing...

    Not so much the random nonsense and the peeing gremlin baby, though.

    It sort of feels like it made more sense back then, but I probably just made up a story to go along with the mind-spew on the screen. :huh:

    Kirby?! Gir?! That Cat Monkey thing from Tenchi Muyo?! Whose plushies are whose? lol
  • Richard Wesker
    Ryo-Ohki is the name of the creature from Tenchi Muyo. It's a "cabbit", a half-cat, half-rabbit bundle of cuteness. I'd wager that it belongs to MarzGurl, as she's an anime fan.
  • FullmetalNinja25

    I haven't seen Tenchi Muyo! in years so I didn't remember thanks for the correction.
  • Richard Wesker
    Oh, no problem, man. I haven't seen it in awhile either. The only reason I remember at all was because it was the very first anime series I'd ever seen.
