Bill Plympton's new film, Hair High, features a segment involving a teen dressed in a chicken outfit and his efforts to mate with a hen-shaped scoreboard.

Try to visualize this. If you seen any of the directors other work, it shouldn't be too hard. While Plympton's days as a big-name ad man for the likes of Taco Bell and Trivial Pursuit may be past him, his latest features his first all-star cast. Hair High features the vocal talents of Sarah Silverman, Beverly D'Angelo, Matt Groening, David Carradine and Martha "I Feel Like I'm Babysitting, Except I'm Not Getting Paid" Plimpton.

The feature follows the surreal misadventures of a new kid at a '50s-era high school, reportedly based on Plympton's Oregon City alma mater. When the teen accidentally bumps into the convertible of a starting quarterback, he's forced to become his girlfriend's slave. While the premise follows heavily from countless teen movies, it somehow manages to squeeze in a science teacher (Carradine) that hacks up his own intestines, fingernail torture, zombie teens with bugs for brains and the aforementioned hormone-fueled mascot.

Despite the gross-out moments, Hair High is oddly touching and a cute homage to an era when teens spent all their time chugging diner malts and getting to second base at the drive-in. A Q & A followed the premiere at the Crystal, featuring both Plympton and Plimpton. The discussion focused entirely on animation and, unfortunately, no one asked about the progress on the perpetually in-development Goonies 2. Plympton offered a few anecdotes about hometown hero Groening. Apparently, the toon titan still hasn't cashed the $300 check he received for his performance.

Going along with the theme, a line of vintage cars were sitting outside the Crystal. One of them had six-shooters for handles and steer horns attached to the hood. Take note of the photo below. How do they get in this thing? Do they have to pull the triggers? That would be neat.
