38. Cool World (1992)
Ralph Bakshi’s lurid, grating live action/animation hybrid, created in the wake of Who Framed Roger Rabbit’s success, does no favors for its actors. As Roger Ebert noted in his review of the film, “In Cool World, a human character will throw an arm around the shoulders of a cartoon, and the mismatch will be so distracting it’s the only thing we can look at on the screen.” As a 1940s-styled gumshoe policing the animated landscape of Cool World, Frank Harris (Pitt) doesn’t have much of an arc. His performance is ultimately stiff and unimaginative. Pitt himself seems to agree. In the August 1992 issue of Details, this is how he summed up his Cool World experience: “It was fun. But I got into some bad habits because I did most of the film by myself. Behind a blue screen, you know? Acting’s magical when it’s fresh. Someone throws something your way, and you catch it and you throw it back. It’s hard to be impulsive when you’re working with a blue screen.”

But the thing that haunts him at night has to be his role in 1992's Cool World. Hoping to capitalize on the combination of live-action and cartoon that had been so charmingly managed in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Cool World arrived four years too late and still managed to do a worse job at realizing a cartoon world. Also, the plot was largely about cartoon Kim Basinger seeking to have sex with her artist so she'd become a real girl.
