"The Boxer Trailer" presents the story of a humoristic boxing match between Slim and a huge muscular fighter called Killer. It is clear from the very offset that Slim doesn't stand a chance, but the Trailer doesn't show in any way how the match will end.
In the early 1980's, the theoretical and practical works of Pierre Lachapelle, driven by a strong interest toward computer graphics and cinema, have lead him to create and develop a complete computer animation system. In 1985, Lachapelle produced and directed his first computer animated short, "Tony de Peltrie".
