Tony De Peltrie excerpt

" In the mid 80's, four kids barely out of school directed Tony de Peltrie, a computer-animated short that took the animation world by storm and revolutionized the film industry. Produced by Pierre Lachapelle, and directed by Lachapelle, Philippe Bergeron, Pierre Robidoux and Daniel Langlois, Tony de Peltrie premiered as the closing film of Siggraph'85 - the largest computer animation festival in the world. As the lights dimmed, and Tony's wonderfully sad eyes first appeared on the screen, the stunned audience fell silent. They were witnessing history. For the first time, a computer-animated human character was expressing emotions."

This has a real 'train wreck', kind of watchability. The song at the end, unfortunately, has no additional info on google, though I think it's great.

Why isn't the entire thing in here? I remember this in animation class about a year ago. Of course, all of my classmates were talking too much that I couldn't hear the dialogue. All I remember is the great expressions, a bit of the jazzy music and the ending when he dies by turning to stone.

I remember seeing this one on a VHS cassette on computer animation. Funny to watch,but kind of creepy as well.
