Hair High (2004) [Movie] TMDB IMDb
Hair High
other title: Hair High (Tupé)
Rod and Cherri are the unmistakable king and queen of Echo High. When new kid Spud arrives, he makes a faux pas so bad that Rod forces him to be his girl's slave. What unfolds is the tale of Cherri and Spud's blossoming relationship behind Rod's back, and their untimely demise on the night of the prom. A tale of tragedy that could only be as irreverent and sensational through the pen (or pencils, if you will) of Bill Plympton.
One of Those Days (1988) [Movie] IMDb TMDB
One of Those Days

A day in the life of the world's unluckiest guy. Starting the morning off with a shaving nick from hell, he endures fires, mad dogs, rampaging vacuum cleaners, horny neighbors, kids with ray guns and, of course, a steam-roller.
Sex & Violence (1997) [Movie] IMDb TMDB
Sex & Violence
director: Bill Plympton
In eight minutes, animator Bill Plympton gives us 24 vignettes: seven are clearly about sex, 10 about violence, and seven others deal with human frailties, particularly the body as it ages. There are three stories of persons with confused priorities (including a guy tying his shoe while parachuting); the world's first phone sex; and a clever, if dangerous, way to find a lost key. Except for the titles of each sketch and a couple of jokes that turn on noise, these are visual trips into the psyche of men, women, God, animals, and Time (the enemy of us all).
How to Make Love to a Woman (1996) [Movie] IMDb TMDB
How to Make Love to a Woman
director: Bill Plympton actor: Daniel Kaufman
An animated look at the 11 essential steps to make the pilgrim's progess from finding a woman to making love to her. Along the way, our prototypical man gets advice about her eyes, her hair, her neck, her nostrils (and how they will flare as she becomes excited), the kiss, disrobing her (be subtle yet have authority), the hug, her nipples, and kinky accessories. At every turn, even as the exultant strains of Handel's Hallelujah Chorus signal that success is upon him, there are dangers and pitfalls. The journey requires steely resolve.
The One-Minute Memoir (2020) [Movie] IMDb TMDB
The One-Minute Memoir
director: Joan C. Gratz / Chris Hinton
When Academy Award–winning animator and painter Joan Gratz asked eleven filmmakers if they would contribute to an omnibus film, she wasn’t sure what to expect—after prompting them to make a “one-minute memoir,” she let them figure out the rest. The One-Minute Memoir is the exuberant result: eleven stories ranging from the heartfelt to the absurd, all reflective of each director’s personal style.
