Hair High

Hair High is a 2004 American adult animated horror romantic comedy film by American filmmaker Bill Plympton. The film is a spoof of late-1950s and early-1960s high school films. Plot A gothic high-school comedy with a Carrie-like story. A bickering teen couple, Wally (Michael Showalter) and Buttercup (Hayley DuMond) visit Jojo (Keith Carradine)’s Diner for a drink. Since they have relationship issues with each other, Jojo decides to tell a story about a couple like them. The story he quotes is “a tale of the prom, of love, of Cherri and Spud.” Cherri (Sarah Silverman) and Rod (Dermot Mulroney) are the Echo Lake high school king and queen and they justifiably rule their domain. Cherri's friend, Darlene (Beverly D'Angelo) is also in love with Rod while his friend Zip (Zak Orth) is in love with her. Spud (Eric Gilliland), the new kid in town, accidentally offends both Cherri and Rod when he scuffs Rod's car and he writes an insulting note to Cherri. He is consequently forced to become her slave. Naturally and immediately, they hate each other, such as making him do her bidding and humiliating him after a football game, but later on, they fall in love. Cherri and Spud secretly decide to go to the prom together, and on prom night, a rejected Rod forces their car off the road and into the lake. In true 1950s ballad style, their car sinks to the bottom of the lake as they share one last kiss. Wally thinks the story is over, but Buttercup thinks otherwise, with Jojo agreeing with her.
