Hair High isn't first-tier Plympton, but like the rest of the animator's work, this is an assuredly odd tale that should resonate with fans of strange cinema.

Much of the visual comedy comes from the incongruous proportions of the bodies: skinny legs and puffed-out chests. Dec 1, 2006 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

An amusing send-up of late '50s/early '60s high-school melodramas and teen-tragedy pop hits. Oct 19, 2006

None of this is for kids, and the way Plympton works clearly isn't for studios. It's just for grown-up fans of eye-catching animation. Oct 18, 2006 | Rating: 3/4

In the gleefully outrageous animated feature Hair High, director Bill Plympton walks the border between ridiculously gross and outright offensive. Oct 18, 2006 | Rating: 4/5

Plympton's fourth feature film is also his least inspired, but it's still very much worth a look. Apr 19, 2007 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

It's a wickedly fine ensemble and Plympton gives everyone free rein, which is no surprise from the creator of this irreverent, freewheeling delight. Apr 13, 2007 | Rating: 3/4

It's probably time for Plympton -- who's been making films for nearly 30 years -- to try to do something a little loftier. Jan 12, 2007 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

With sharp animation, funny gags and catchy songs, Hair High plays like the weirdest, and improbably sweetest, send-up of Grease you'll ever see. Jan 12, 2007 | Rating: 3/4

The film spoils itself %u2014 and not in the way Plympton has spoiled his fans so much before. Nov 23, 2006 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…
