Shout Factory has detailed its upcoming Collector's Edition of Ralph Bakshi's film Cool World (1992). The release will be available for purchase on September 13.
Description: When ex-con cartoonist Jack Deebs (Gabriel Byrne) was behind bars, he found escape by creating "Cool World", a cartoon series featuring a voluptuous vixen named Holli Wood. But the toonsmith becomes a prisoner of his own fantasies when Holli pulls Jack into 'Cool World' with a scheme to seduce him and bring herself to life. A hard-boiled detective (Brad Pitt)-the only other human in 'Cool World' cautions Jack with the law: Noids (humans) don't have sex with doodles (cartoons). The flesh proves weaker than ink, however, as Holli takes human form (Kim Basinger) in Law Vegas, starting a trans-universal chase that threatens the destruction of both worlds. With a splashy mix of animation and live-action sequences, Cool World delivers the hottest action around.
