Movie Reviews of The Triplets of Belleville
Movie Review: Whimsical animation and fanciful storytelling.
Summary: 5 Stars
Writer/director Sylvain Chomet used animation to tell the fanciful tale of Champion, a lonely little boy who is never happier than on a bicycle. His grandmother, Madame Sousa, puts him through a rigorous training process and soon the boy enters the world-famous Tour de France. When two mysterious men kidnap Champion during the tour, Madame Sousa and her dog Bruno set out to rescue him. Their long journey leads to the renowned "Triplets of Belleville", three eccentric female music-hall stars from the 1930's who agree to help recover the boy.THE TRIPLETS OF BELLEVILLE is filled with whimsical and delightful animation that tends to exaggerate individual's body parts, i.e. Champion's muscled cyclist body and the square-ness of the mafia men's shoulders. But I believe that this aspect only adds further to the uniqueness of this film. There is an absence of dialogue/subtitles but one is still able to comprehend the plot by action alone, which is a striking accomplishment and adds credence to the pioneers of silent films. It has been a long time since the genre of animation has captivated my attention as it did while watching this film. Watching this film was a pure delight!
