Short description

While incarcerated for murder, cartoonist Jack Deebs found escape by creating Cool World, a series featuring a voluptuous femme fatale named Holli Would. But the artist becomes a prisoner of his own fantasies when Holli transports Jack into Cool World with a scheme to seduce him and bring herself to life. Hard-boiled detective Frank Harris – the only other human in Cool World – cautions Jack with the law: Noids (humans) don't have sex with doodles (cartoons). However, flesh proves weaker than ink as Holli takes human form in Las Vegas, staring in a trans-universal chase that threatens the destruction of both worlds.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The name Holly Wood is spelled Holli Would in English, but there is another spelling - Holly Wood, which is a reference to the well-known Los Angeles district called Hollywood.
  • The characters parodied popular heroes from Disney and Warner Bros. cartoons, as decided by the directors – specifically rabbits, the bald old man, Geppetto and Pinocchio, and Daffy Duck.
  • As part of a promotional campaign, Paramount Pictures placed a portrait of Holly Wood on the letter D in the Hollywood sign. This happened after the riots in Los Angeles. The studio paid $27,000 to the sign’s maintenance fund and another $27,000 to the Los Angeles restoration fund, and also paid two rangers for round-the-clock security of the sign with the portrait. However, local residents were not thrilled and began to hold pickets demanding the portrait be removed from the sign.
