Strange Hill High [DVD]

Product Information

With a mysterious book at the cause of many students' disappearances at Strange Hill High, Mitchell and his friends investigate the creepy, dark, and lonely school library. While cleaning the lavatory on detention, the trio discover an ancient knight guarding an ancient mystical toilet. They get more than they bargained for as Mitchell is declared King of Strange Hill. Strange Hill High, an all-but-forgotten inner-city school filled with fantastical secrets and outlandish mysteries, has been created using ‘hypervynorama’, a groundbreaking new animation technique that combines Japanese vinyl toy design and puppetry with stop-motion animation and computer generated imagery (CGI). Mitchell is bitten by a rabid Deputy Head and, every time the school bell rings, transforms into the disciplinarian were-teacher, Mr. Tanner. If the curse isn't lifted before Mr. Tanner signs a permanent contract, Mitchell could be doomed to spend the rest of his life as a teacher at Strange Hill!

It's Aprils Fool's day and Mitchell is pranking in overdrive. Before too long he's pranked everyone and unleashed a dormant beast of Embarrassment that lives under the school. Mitchell must save his friends - and Tyson - from 'The Embarrassment's' disgusting lair by going toe to toe in a shameful game show. Strange Hill High - a fantasy mystery series created using a combination of puppetry and digital effects - was nominated for a BAFTA in 2013 and has been branded "sharp, funny" and "a sure-fire success" by critics. Mitchell must pass the 'Hardest Maths Assignment Ever'. He cheats and ends up earning the mythical grade of 101%, breaking maths and the world as we know it in the process.The show follows the trio as they explore Strange Hill High, uncovering the absurd and outrageous, from the evil Tooth Fairy, to Sir Bogivere, a vigilant Knight and guardian of an ancient Arthurian lavatory.

An app game titled Merchant of Menace was released for iOS and Android in 2014, though it could also be played online.Described by production company Yoshimi & Katoi as " Grange Hill meets The Muppets in South Park", Strange Hill High is set in a near-forgotten inner-city school where strange is normal. The show follows three friends who take it upon themselves to investigate their school's paranormal, mysterious and other-worldly occurrences. It's Valentine's Day and whilst attempting to sabotage Abercombie's zero tolerance to romance, our trio discover a portal to the inside the Head's head! What at first seems like the best thing ever soon turns into a nightmare as the bullies gain control of the Headmaster. The only way to stop them is to test the old adage: the heart rules the head.
