Trivia:
A scene in the film involves this magic sexual potion called Tijuana Tonic and a chicken mascot. It was inspired by a story related to Bill Plympton about a guy who started work at a stud farm and accidentally gave the stud horse an overdose of aphrodisiac. He claimed that the last time he saw the poor stallion he had broken out of the corral and was humping a Volkswagen. more

I viewed HIGH HAIR today in Los Angeles -- perhaps three years after it was originally screened. Comments on IMDb said it was a retro 50's style high school story line which drew my attention.
I am a child of such an era having graduated in 1959 (at the cusp of the next decade of the 50's) from high school.
I entered the theater with an invited friend. I was a bit anxious whether my experience would be the same as another person's opinion as we left the screening and talked.
We both had the same movie experience: It took about 20 minutes to get into it and at one moment in time, there was a hook that carried the film into its conclusion and enjoyment. I suppose this is a cult film, but it works well with those who were in high school in the era of the film despite the fact that this was not my own experience.
My enjoyment was the fusion of Japanese anime into contemporary American animation as a borrowed skill with a true technique honed by Bill Plimpton.
He pulled it off without a finger print of evidence that would tie him to such a cinematic crime of imitating Japanese Anime and not his own invention.
It worked. Just fine. Pure fusion.
