Hair High
Hair High is a 2004 American adult animated horror romantic comedy film by filmmaker Bill Plympton. The film is a surrealist spoof of late-1950s and early-1960s high school dramas and "teen tragedy" ballads. Featuring an ensemble voice cast including Eric Gilliland, Sarah Silverman, and Dermot Mulroney, the story follows a prom king and queen who return from the dead to attend their high school prom after being murdered by a jealous rival. It is notable for being one of the final feature-length films produced using traditional cel animation in the United States. A gothic high-school comedy, the film has been described as a "‘Happy Days’ meets ‘Carrie’" story.
Plot
In the 1950s, a bickering teenage couple, Wally and Buttercup, stop at a diner before their prom. To settle their argument about romance, the diner owner, Jojo, tells them the "tale of the prom, of love, of Cherri and Spud."
