A brilliant but completely muddled concoction about the relationship between fantasy and reality. [16 Jul 1992]
As a technical accomplishment it is extrely impressive. But as a work of entertainment, almost any 10 minutes of it are enough. [14 Jul 1992]

The interfacing of the two-dimensional and three-dimensional characters is so shabbily accomplished that it makes you start noticing all the other technical glitches in the work.
A fatally compromised, half-realized execution.
[ 10 Jul 1992]
Cool World's numerous plot holes and illogicalities might be forgiven if it had interesting characters or impressive visual effects.
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.
