Editor "The 24th International Tournee of Animation" is coming to the Russell House Theater this week, but dont expect to see Bugs Bunny, Tom and Jerry or Beavis and Butt-head, because this collection of animated films will take your breath away. The Tournee of Animation features animated films from all over the world, including England, Switzerland, Czechoslovakia and the United States, as well as a tribute to Will Vinton Studios. Several of the films have been nominated for Academy Awards. Animation festivals of this type have recently enjoyed widespread success because of the way innovative animation has entered the mainstream, with shows like MTVs "Liquid Television," and prime-time animation like "The Simpson's," and "The Critic." However, the animation you will find in the Tournee is art, with styles and mediums ranging from claymation to puppets to house paint. These films aren't about bunnies and superheroes, either. Some of them ("I Think I was an Alcoholic" and "The Man Who Yelled") are quirky looks at life, told from the artist's perspective.

"The Ride to the Abyss," by Georges I Schwigebel is a beautiful animated ii-.ii tr??i painting set to tne musit ui nctiui Berlioz' "La Damnation de Faust." After "A Nightmare Before Christmas," animation seems to have found a home with horror stories and thrillers. The Tournee has its share of these, but to lump them together in the same genre would be unjust. "The Stain" by Marju: Rimminen and Christine Roche is a psychological thriller about a psychotic family with twins who commit suicide. This particular film is creepy, but not only because of the plot. The animator's craft has much to do with the total impact of this film. Another such film is "The Sand" /? ill x .LftJ L man, a suspenseilll 100K at IMWUTBIIH? nightmares and how sometimes our childhood fears might be based on reality. "Diner" is a funny look at a latenight snack joint where you might end up on the menu.

The Czechoslovakian Words, Words, Words" is one of the lest, which is probably why it has been lominated for an Academy Award. Tie film is set in a cafe and follows Afferent conversations among several characters who communicate to the audience without using words. Look for the cat that goes around drinking averyone's beer while they're not looking. There are only a few works featured in the Tournee which I wasn't too impressed with, not because they weren't of high quality, but somehow don't create as much of an impact as the others. One was "Prehistoric Beast," which is an animated model film about two dinosaurs and reminiscent of old dinosaur movies of the v80s.

However, after seeing "Jurassic Park," this type of animation seems to have lost its impact. "Get a Haircut," was the other film that didnt impress me much, because although the idea was a good one, the film, which is actually a video for the song by George Thorogood, uses too many animation styles and overloads the senses with too many images that don't seem to have to do with the song. If you've ever liked "Liquid Television," or wanted to see it, but couldnt stay up that late, the Tournee is a much better selection of animated art It is 90 minutes of visual and mental stimulation, of which I'm sure you won't want to miss.
