The Triplets of Belleville

The tone of this droll, thrillingly odd animated film isn't easy to describe...A tad dark for little kids, this one-of-a-kind movie delivers 80 minutes of idiosyncratic inspiration.

A wonderfully weird bit of French animation that amounts to little but a celebration of its creator's bountiful imagination, yet manages to enthrall because writer-director Sylvain Chomet is such a solid visual storyteller.

It occasionally suffers from longeurs, but it's moving and funny with moments of genius. More of the same, s'il vous plat.

Just when Jeffrey Katzenberg had loudly declared the death of 2-D animation, along came this sly, inventively drawn cartoon that blew the cumbrous studio leviathans out of the water.

Astonishing, outlandish, and full of laughs.

Vous guessed it by now: Triplettes is terrific.

Animated films that don’t depend on dialogue are rare to find nowadays. But when they do show up, they can deliver something amazing, and this movie is a shining example of that.

An entertaining, witty, dark animated film, full of quirky characters and very subtle social commentary. [Full review in Spanish]

The plot and its destination - although pleasurable - are not as important as the intense degree of joy in getting there.

Both joyous and melancholy, almost as if the old-fashioned and the new collided and shattered, and the pieces fell in place to create this incredible film.
