The world premier of "Tony de Peltrie" was shown at Siggraph in
San Francisco on Tues. July 23.  Quoting from the film catalog:

	The last five minutes in the life of a once-famous
	piano player.  Alone and nostalgic, he remembers the
	good old days.  Just before disappearing he relives a
	night in the piano bar with his friends.

The hit of the show, this film had careful direction and warm
characterization.  The animation of the character is expressive
and represents a new level of accomplishment.  It finishes by
using computer graphics to sum up in a way that requires a
visualization unique to computer graphics.

Directors:  Pierre Lachapelle, Phillipe Bergeron, and Pierre
	Robidoux.
Producer:  Pierre Lachappelle.
Artistic Director / character design:  Daniel Langlois
