Hair High

It takes a lot to start the conflict of the movie.

Good, slightly more coherent than I was anticipating. I guess that's ok too.

Not THE BEST Plympton there is, but it's always nice to see his take on mundane topics, in this case: American Highschool drama.

Hair High estreava há 20 anos no Festival de Nashville. Acho que estou dando essa nota mais pelo apelo que ele teria em mim há 20 anos do que o que gosto agora. Estranho avaliar um filme retroativamente pela pessoa que você era, né? Mas é que ele faz parte de um humor mais juvenil que não é muito mais a minha cara, mas que é bom apesar disso. YTS.

My first encounter with a feature-length Plympton, which is probably simultaneously helped and hindered by its more familiar, approacheable tropes of 50s high school flicks, adolescent romance, and urban legends. The animation is delightfully deranged and I have to respect the dedication to hand-drawn art and watercolor backgrounds. Still, it takes far too long for a plot to emerge and makes me think Plympton is more at home with short vignettes.
