Hair High is a 2004 animated movie that takes us back to the 1950s and explores the lives of high school students in a small town. Directed by Bill Plympton, Hair High features an impressive voice cast that includes Eric Gilliland, Sarah Silverman, Dermot Mulroney, and more. The movie is primarily about a love triangle between Spud, Darlene, and Joe, who are all students at the local high school. Spud is a good-hearted jock who is generally liked by everyone. Darlene is a beautiful and popular cheerleader who is dating Joe, the school's bad boy. Despite Darlene and Joe's relationship, Spud is in love with Darlene and can't help but pine for her.

Things come to a head when Joe discovers that Darlene has been cheating on him with Spud. Enraged, Joe seeks revenge and gets into a fight with Spud. The aftermath of the fight sets off a series of events that leads to a strange and otherworldly ending that will leave viewers questioning what they just saw.

One of the standout aspects of Hair High is its animation style. Bill Plympton is known for his unique and surreal animation that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. With Hair High, Plympton takes his animation to another level, creating a world that is both familiar and strange. From the exaggerated character designs to the surreal backdrops, every frame of Hair High is a visual delight.

Another strength of Hair High is its storytelling. While the love triangle between Spud, Darlene, and Joe is the central storyline, the movie also explores the lives of other students at the high school. From a group of outcast girls to the school's principal, every character in Hair High has a story to tell. Through these side stories, the movie is able to create a fully realized world that feels lived in and authentic.

The voice cast of Hair High is also worth noting. Eric Gilliland is great as Spud, imbuing the character with both a sense of innocence and longing. Sarah Silverman is fantastic as Delores, one of the outcast girls who befriends Spud. Dermot Mulroney also does a good job as Joe, capturing the character's anger and frustration. The rest of the voice cast is equally impressive, with each actor bringing their own unique flair to their respective roles.

One thing that might turn off some viewers is the surreal and at times grotesque nature of the movie. From a dog eating its own vomit to characters turning into monsters, Hair High is not for the faint of heart. However, if you can stomach the strange and surreal nature of the movie, there is a lot to appreciate here.

Overall, Hair High is a unique and entertaining movie that is sure to please fans of animation and surreal storytelling. With its impressive voice cast, stunning animation, and thought-provoking storyline, Hair High is a must-watch for anyone looking for something a little different.
