Irishchatter Seriously, this animation is worse than a children's drawing. Yeah i know its meant to be different and that's good but really, they either made your head spin or give you a migraine headache. It is just terrible!I don't understand why this was given good reviews by critics and reviewers on here. Sarah Sliverman was mad for taking part in this horrible cartooonish crap. She's better off in doing better movies than being involved in this.I can't say no more because I'm blinded from the horrible drawings. I would love to give this a 0 but can't!

Rectangular_businessman 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

deadandlovely 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.

tommyg I viewed HIGH HAIR today in Los Angeles -- perhaps three years after it was originally screened. Comments on IMDb said it was a retro 50's style high school story line which drew my attention.I am a child of such an era having graduated in 1959 (at the cusp of the next decade of the 50's) from high school.I entered the theater with an invited friend. I was a bit anxious whether my experience would be the same as another person's opinion as we left the screening and talked. We both had the same movie experience: It took about 20 minutes to get into it and at one moment in time, there was a hook that carried the film into its conclusion and enjoyment. I suppose this is a cult film, but it works well with those who were in high school in the era of the film despite the fact that this was not my own experience.My enjoyment was the fusion of Japanese anime into contemporary American animation as a borrowed skill with a true technique honed by Bill Plimpton.He pulled it off without a finger print of evidence that would tie him to such a cinematic crime of imitating Japanese Anime and not his own invention.It worked. Just fine. Pure fusion.
