Put a Cool World Secial Edition on DVD, but I'm still going for a remake and I wonder, how would Paul W.S. Anderson try to bring Bakshi's original version of Cool World to life?

That's the spirit Issac, go for the remake and let me ask you this, should Paul W.S. Anderson direct the Cool World remake? After all, he did had an experience of making a R-Rated Horror movie. Remember Resident Evil?

I can't speak for Paul W.S. Anderson, as I've never seen "Resident Evil," though I heard it was terrible (generally, most video game movies are awful in my opinion).

But, if there is going to be a re-make of Cool World, Ralph would be the only one to do it.

There is no exception: he is the only person to bring his original vision to the screen and show everyone that Cool World wasn't always a bad movie: the bad qualities of the film were tacked on by greedy producers and bad screenwriters.

But how would Wes Craven try to remake Cool World?

And what Joel Schumacher? Is he good enough to direct Cool World? After all, he had an experience of directing a Horror movie and that movie is The Lost Boys.

Well, at least he made another good movie which is The Phantom of the Opera and what about John Harrison (Director of Tales from the Darkside: The Movie)? Is he good enough to remake Cool World?

But what about Tim Burton? He worked as an animator on Lord of the Rings and Mighty Mouse.

If he were to remake it, I think the remake should go into more depth than the original did. It should explain some things. Like, how did the Cool World come into being? Has it always existed? Or had it only recently been formed by the time Frank Harris got there. And what about what Frank said about "We mapped out the tunnel. The passage way between both worlds." What was that all about? It would have been great to see what adventures Frank and Doc Whiskers had when they were iMapping out the tunneli and cover how they discovered how the balance of the universe could be disrupted. A great back-story and history to Cool World would have helped the original immensely

Id before it just to see what mr Bakshi feels was left out his art inspires me so much and anything new of his would be a blessing and we always have the old one he made and could still enjoy it

I think Ralph really should direct this Cool World remake, as it's his baby, his idea, but if he's unable to make it (if he's too busy with other projects, or old and retired, or, and I hope this doesn't happen for while, he dies), Tim Burton or Joe Dante (who are both great horror-film makers as well as cartoon-lovers) should direct it IMHO.
