LUPE EYDE Carolina! 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.

One of them, "The Billy Nayer Show,"
is just plain weird, but a riot. "The

Schwigebel is a beautiful animated

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"

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 images of this
film are saturated in colors which I
make it a visual treat that will tickle ,
your funny bone. c
By far the majority of the films in
the Tournee are incredible, and I have i

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. I don't
doubt that the film was time-consuming

to make. 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. The Tournee is
playing all this week at the Russell
House.
