Hair High
Short description
In a 1950s American high school, Rod and Cherri are the popular couple everyone admires and fears. When awkward new student Spud arrives and accidentally offends Cherri, Rod makes him her personal servant as punishment. Spud and Cherri initially dislike each other, but a romance develops between them behind Rod's back. What begins as a high-school comedy turns darker when the two teenagers are driven off the road on prom night and end up at the bottom of Echo Lake. A year later, they rise from the dead and return to the school dance.

What's left behind the scenes
- The idea for the film came to director and screenwriter Bill Plympton in a dream he had about a skull from which terrifying snakes, lizards, spiders, and insects were crawling. He thought it was a great idea for a film about the 50s and “revenge at the prom.” Thus, the general concept was born, and he began to draw.
- The entire drawing process (approximately 30,000 drawings over a year) was captured by a device called the “Plympton Ani-Cam.” This was a small camera fixed above Plympton’s electronic drawing tablet and connected to a server, allowing people around the world to observe the slow and methodical process of creating the cartoon in real time.
