French filmmaker Sylvain Chomet directs the animated feature The Triplets of Belleville. A young boy is raised by his grandmother, Madame Souza, in the French countryside. She buys him a bicycle and encourages his dream of winning the Tour de France. However, he gets kidnapped by a group of Mafia gangsters and taken to the big city of Belleville, where he is used for his bicycling prowess in an elaborate gambling scheme. Along with her faithful companion Bruno, Madame Souza sets out to rescue her grandson. They befriend a trio of aging musicians who were once the '30s jazz trio known as The Triplets of Belleville. Features an original jazz musical score by Benoît Charest. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

| Not your typical animated movie. Great plot. Great music. The DVD extras were very explanatory as well. The animation exaggerations truly make this a memorable film. |

| Watching five minutes of this film seems like an eternity. Somehow the very talented team of designers, writers and artists have managed to create a world beyond the boundaries if time and space, waking and dreaming. We travel through time and back in under 80 minutes. A marvelous tale of passion and devotion taking two colliding worlds on the adventure of a lifetime. |
