Wrong movie. The one showing is a 1963, B&W cinema verite about poverty and violence in Harlem. Have fun at it with your kids!

Cool World is less artful, short on scripted finesse, and is lacking technical acumen. [11 Jul 1992] Full Review

Style has seldom pummeled substance as severely as in Cool World, a combination funhouse ride/acid trip that will prove an ordeal for most visitors in the form of trial by animation. Full Review

Technically, Bakshi's work is uneven; some of the characters in his Cool universe are hilarious, while others are flat. Full Review

The plot of Michael Grais's and Mark Victor's screenplay is even more nonsensical than it needs to be. [11 Jul 1992] Full Review

Boston Globe
The only thing that keeps Cool World from imploding is that Bakshi turns it into a series of animator's riffs, with little explosions of toon action erupting like video game novas into the foreground of the story that isn't happening. [10 Jul 1992] Full Review
