Bill Plympton's "Hair High," NYC premier October 17, 2006

Bill Plympton's breakthrough animated feature "Hair High" opens in New York
on October 18, 2006 at the Two Boots Pioneer theater as part of their "Month
of Horror".
Bill Plympton will make personal appearances at the theater, and every guest
at the
premiere will receive a drawing from Bill. Cast members and other surprise
guests
(including the "Krazy Kock" chicken mascot) will appear at the premiere.

An outrageous Gothic myth from the 1950's, "Hair High" is the legend of a
teenage
couple murdered on prom night who return as undead skeletons one year later
for revenge.
The film is a unique romantic comedy with a zombie-horror twist. Maverick
independent
animator Bill Plympton self-financed the film, co-produced by his friend and
distant cousin,
actress Martha Plimpton.

"Hair High" features an all-star cast including the voice talents of Dermot
Mulroney,
Sarah Silverman, David Carradine, Keith Carradine, Beverly D'Angelo, Martha
Plimpton,
Eric Gilliland, Ed Begley Jr., Michael Showalter, Zak Orth, Justin Long,
Craig Bierko,
Tom Noonan and animators Matt Groening and Don Hertzfeldt.

Produced, written and directed by Mr. Plympton, the film is also the first
animated feature
to be completely drawn (30,000 drawings) live on the internet via web-cam
(the Plympton
Ani-Cam). The film had its world premiere at the Slamdance Film Festival and
enjoyed
a successful run on the film festival circuit.

Also included in the screening will be Bill Plympton's Oscar-nominated
animated short
"Guard Dog", along with the new sequel film "Guide Dog".
