Strange Hill High is a British children's puppet-animated series for CBBC.
Out of the many writers, it was noted that Josh Weinstein (who worked on The Simpsons, Futurama and Disenchantment) would be involved in the series,[1] with its visuals created using an animation technique combining puppets, Japanese vinyl toys and digital effects.
Strange Hill High mainly follows a group of three students: Mitchell Tanner, a pupil with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder who comes up with plans to resolve various conflicts, while avoiding studying for tests; Becky Butters, a conscientious schoolgirl who tries her best to get out of whatever problems she gets involved in; and the sometimes dull and robotic Templeton, who comes up with bizarre quips and interpretations, as they explore their extraordinary school, uncovering absurd and outrageous occurrences as they go.
Mitchell's desperate attempt to start his Christmas holiday early is scuppered when he accidentally traps everyone in the freezing school.
