Critics' reviews

"An amusing send-up of late '50s/early '60s high-school melodramas and teen-tragedy pop hits"

Dennis Harvey: Variety
"If Plympton is making pastiche, he's also having a laugh at a universal experience that for a lot of people was probably pretty crummy. Apparently, it was a little crummier for him"

Wesley Morris: Boston Globe
"Smorgasbord of the bizarre. Hair High is not for everyone, but it's not like anything else out right now"

Michael Ordoña: Los Angeles Times
"Animator Bill Plympton's seventh feature is a must-see for fans of his often witty, always scabrous, hand-drawn work."

Maitland McDonagh: TV Guide
