An Amazingly Funny Gothic Comedy
Bill Pympton's "Hair High" is everything an animated feature should be. It features some of the funniest comedy you will ever see in a film, animated or live action. This comedy is combined with excellent, unique animation that sets the film apart from other animated features. The rough feeling of it is a much needed break from the perfection that is Disney and Dreamworks. Plympton really proves that you don't need expensive fancy 3D graphics to make an amazing film; all you truly need is talent and ambition. The plot ties everything together; giving some meaning to the crazy world that is Plympton's animation style. One of the best parts of "Hair High" is the cast of voices. Kill Bill's David Carradine lends his vocal talent, along with Beverly D'Angelo, and Animators Don Hertzfeldt and Matt Groening. Each voice fits the character perfectly, which really adds to the already excellent animation and story. Overall, the incredibly weird, yet extremely funny, antics of "Hair High" are sure to entertain. Laugh after laugh, this film takes the fun of Plympton's shorts and allows the audience to enjoy the fun for over an hour.
THIS is why we keep watching animated movies.
This story is in the same mode as Rod Serling's original "Twilight Zone," except with much more heart and soul, and less Old Testament style revenge. You learn to love the characters, even the ones you initially think are cruel. After all the overproduced and overhyped animated films, that promise wonders but give us the same old thing - THIS is the reason we come back to watch animation. I've seen several of Plympton's short films, but they didn't prepare me for the beautiful characters, the simple and clear story, and (most amazingly) the 50's - 60's style teen music. See it in the theatres AND buy it on DVD when it comes out. Be aware, though; there's some violence and messy stuff that very little kids probably shouldn't see. Kids above age 12 should be able to handle it, though.
One of the best
Such a great work.One of the best animations that I've ever watched, although the story is very common; popular guy and cheerleader go out together but a "a new kid in school" falls for this popular cheerleader. Drawings are very expressive you can almost taste the life they are living at the screen. I think this animation deserves more than just congratulations. The thing about this animation is it makes you wonder and at the same time makes you want to watch over and over again. If you haven't still watched it you may be missing a lot in my opinion. Enjoy.
Oh say, can you see, my eyes if you can...
This feature-length offering from Bill Plympton starts out strong, drags a little in the middle and finishes okay. It's hard to sustain the level of hilarity that the introduction carries across the length of an animated feature, from the raw characterizations to the stylish presentation. The music remains strong throughout, with toe-tapping original music presented in a well-integrated fashion with the plot. Big kids will love this. Some of it is obscenely funny and grotesque (like Mr. Snerd hacking up his entrails) and some of it is outright obscene (Zip's mad orgy in a chicken suit, but since the chicken really acts like a rooster...I guess this may be a tip of the hat to a 10% theme). Obscene, yes, but obscenely funny as well. Good style, lots of laughs and entertaining.
A great animated film
I think that Bill Plympton is one of the most original and talented animators of all the history, and just like his other films and animated shows, "Hair High" is enough proof of his unique vision and talent. While it starts as a simplistic high school comedy (But without any of the stupid clichés and stereotypes of this kind of films) it quickly evolves into a bizarre, surreal tale of romance and horror, with great plot twists and lots of dark humor, just like all the other works made by Bill Plympton. If you are looking for a completely different kind of animated film, you should give a look to this film. It is one of the funniest and more artistic animated comedies ever made. 10/10
