Words cannot capture the delights of
The Triplets of Belleville, an astonishing animated movie from the mind of French director Sylvain Chomet. In fact, there are only a few spoken sentences in the entire film; most of the soundtrack is a mix of squeaks, barks, and the jazzy music of Benoit Charest. A bicyclist is kidnapped from the Tour de France by mysterious gangsters; his grandmother travels to the city of Belleville (which has a sardonic version of the Statue of Liberty in its harbor), where she tracks him down with the help of a musical trio gone to seed, the Belleville Triplets. This hand-drawn movie is unlike anything you'll see from Disney; every scene mixes the silent comedy of Jacques Tati and Buster Keaton--in which the world of objects subtly fights with living beings for mastery--and the bouncy hop of Betty Boop. Unique and mesmerizing.

| This is a movie I want to share. I gave a copy to my 21 year old grandson, a BMX bike racer. And a copy to my son, who appreciates film and comedy. As for myself, as an artist, I never tire of seeing this terrific art deco, and wonderfully laughable, film. Triplets of Bellville truly deserves the awards it has received. |

| I so enjoyed this movie, it was wonderful, and the music was cool. Even cooler was watching how they made it, which is on the dvd. |

This is a seriously cool animated film. The dog is so funny that it brings a smile to my face just thinking about it. And the grandmother ... sheesh!
However, the real star of the film is the soundtrack. The three old ladies playing the refrigerator, newspaper and vacuum cleaner, accompanied by grandma on the bicycle wheel is priceless.
Get it. Watch it. I dare you not to laugh out loud. |

This film excels in so many ways!
The drawing is terrific, both in terms of characters and remarkable overviews of the settings.
The characters are so imaginatively rendered, and refreshingly different from American stock
characters. I would say that the character of the dog alone is worth the price of the dvd!
So many surprises and innovations in approach to characters, story, and settings.
But we also get the traditional satisfaction out of real villains, and the remarkable heroism of....GRAMA.
A wonderful journey, wonderful laughs. |
