From the 1930's style cartoon parody of the opening sequence to the closing credits, this movie is an impressive tour-de-force to the eyes and a pleasure to see. I never get tired of watching it again and again.
Written and directed by Sylvain Chomet, it is an award winning 2003 animated film (also released in the UK as Belleville Rendez-vous). The majority of the film is told trough songs and pantomime. It was produced in France, Canada and Belgium.
The story is about a boy, his fascination with bikes and his ever-loving and supporting grandmother. When he is kidnapped by two strange men in black during the tour de france and swept away to the high-rise city of belleville; Grandma embarks on a quest to find his beloved champion, aided by the singing trio of the triplets from Belleville. It is a beautiful movie that manages to be fun, beautiful and unique. It's just one of those movies everyone should see.
Les Triplettes de Belleville gets 5 out of 5 stars of cyclist kidnapping Mafiosos.
