Hair High
The original idea for the film was inspired by a dream that Bill Plympton had, of a skull that oozed all these scary Gothic creatures - snakes, lizards, spiders and bugs. He felt that this image was perfect for a 50's teen "revenge at the prom" film. Once he had the concept, he began making concept drawings that evolved into storyboards.,I wonder if Pink Floyd's The Wall animations helped inspire this little animation gem. I wish this had had greater circulation. The Triplets of Belleville comes to mind as well. The story is strange, the animation brimming with nicely realised ideas. I guess you could compare it to Carrie. It's sort of a grand All-American nightmare. I found this movie at an op shop. Another lucky day for me!,
