	Reeling: the Movie Review Show's review of Les Triplettes de Belleville
		The animation camera pulls back and we see that the image is being shown on a battered fl and white TV set being watched by little Champion and his granny in their rickety home smack next to the elevated train.
		Along the way she is taken in by the now-elderly Triplets and plans are made to follow Champion’s captors across the Atlantic to the town of Belleville where the bicyclists are used to perform their skills for a room full of gamblers.
		The Triplets of “Les Triplettes” are an odd, funny and endearing trio of old ladies that take Madame Souza’s quest to heart and aid in the rescue of Champion.

	Les Triplettes de Belleville - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Les Triplettes de Belleville (aka Belleville Rendez-vous; The Triplets of Belleville in English) is a 2003 Belgian-French-Canadian animated feature film directed and written by Sylvain Chomet.
		Following a 1930s-style cartoon parody featuring the singing Triplettes of the title (Violette, Blanche, and Rose, named after the colours of the French flag) in their heyday, as well as caricatures of Django Reinhardt, Josephine Baker, and Fred Astaire, the story focuses on Madame Sousa, an elderly woman raising her orphaned grandson Champion.
		The sight of an exceedingly Django Reinhardt-like character playing along to the dancing 'Triplettes' (who in their old age continue to entertain in the form of a cabaret/skiffle act using household items [fridges, vacuum cleaners] as mad instruments) and the most dynamic animated car chase you're ever likely to see.

		Meanwhile, with her overweight dog Bruno in tow, Madame Souza follows her grandson’s captors to Belleville and enlists the aid of three old hags who were formerly immensely popular singers (the “Triplettes” of the title).
		Belleville is a decidedly musical cartoon, and both the score and the catchy theme song are represented well.
		The sketchy animation style of Belleville Rendezvous incidentally looks to me to be heavily influenced by the work of Nicolas de Crécy (particularly the ship and the city scenes of New-York-Sur-Loire in Le Bibendum céleste).

		With the Oscar-nominated ``Les Triplettes de Belleville'' (The Triplets of Belleville), director Sylvain Chomet has served notice to animators in such strongholds of the genre as the United States and Japan that the land of cerebral cinema can more than hold its own against Mickey Mouse and Pikachu.
		Her days are spent grooming her grandson Champion for cycling's famed Tour de France, a race that's been in his sights ever since she bought him a bike when he was a kid.
		Though ``Les Triplettes de Belleville'' is a great step forward for one French animator, Chomet is cautious when it comes to predicting the emergence of a major movement.

		'Belleville Rendez-vous' is dominated by the contrast between the old values of pre-war France and the new values of post-war Americanisation, with all the highrise, obesity, slums and organised crime that it brings.
		'Belleville Rendez-vous' presents this clash of cultures with gentle (if dark) satire, and is greatly influenced by the similarly dialogue-free comic films of Jacques Tati, whose combination of nostalgic conservatism and clownish absurdity has been perfectly captured by Chomain.
		Whether they are pursuing an ocean-liner in a paddle-boat, or walking the streets beneath Belleville's towering skyscrapers, diminutive Souza and her dog always look as though they are about to be swallowed up by the vast impersonality of the world around them.

		Les Triplettes de Belleville is a wonderfully crude, yet fascinating and inventive animated film.
		They end up in the far-away city of Belleville (which resembles New York City), and there enlist the help of the Triplettes of Belleville; a trio of performers well past their primes, but who still love to perform.
		The point of the film is not that you desperately want the mother to rescue her son, but that you are taken on a weird ride while she does it.

		Souza’s grandson, Champion, whose lifelong dream is fulfilled as he competes in the grueling Tour de France, is kidnapped during one of the last stages of the race.
		Sylvain Chomet recreates brilliantly the atmosphere of the France of Jacques Tati and Le Petit Nicolas, of Edith Piaf and Robert Doisneau.
		Les Triplettes de Belleville is proof that even today, quality can still surpass quantity and technology when it comes to making movies.

		Proving that there is a place for adult-targeted animated features if they are of a high enough standard, Les Triplettes de Belleville was one of the world cinema highlights of 2003, critically acclaimed and a box office success.
		Although aimed at an adult audience, Les Triplettes de Belleville should also appeal to children — certainly the 11 to 15 age bracket — who may find it a welcome antidote to the latest sanitised, overly sentimental offering from Disney.

		The delight of "Les Triplettes" is in the total absence of meaning or moral -- all it asks is that you gorge your visual senses and then walk out satiated.
		Contrary to the title, the protagonists of "Les Triplettes" aren't the triplets at all, but a grandmother and her shy, silent grandson.
		Her quest takes her to a fictional city called Belleville, which appears to be part N.Y. and part Montreal, where huge overweight people throng the streets under a fat Statue of Liberty and the staple diet consists of multitiered hamburgers served by obese, grinning waitresses.

	Review: Les Triplettes de Belleville
		The Triplets of Belleville, though made partially with computer animation, does not draw attention to how it was made in the same ways that Pixar does for instance.
		He, along with two others, was taken straight from the Tour de France by the French mafia for some sort of entertainment purpose that has to be seen to maybe understand.
		The woman ventures out with their old dog from Paris across the sea to Belleville which is actually an overly obese New York.

		Les Triplettes de Belleville (aka, Belleville Rendez-vous; The Triplets of Belleville in English) is a French-Canadian animated feature film directed and written by Sylvain Chomet.
		While he is a child, she buys him a bicycle, and as the years pass he achieves such excellence as a rider that he enters the Tour de France.
		Unfortunately he and two other riders are kidnapped and brought to America where a gangster forces them to bicycle all day long on a gambling machine.

		There is also little dialogue--most of the time, sound effects and music take its place, from the irritating squeak of a mechanic's breathing to the sublimity of Mozart's "Kyrie" as a storm rages at sea.
		Belleville Rendezvous uses the best of traditional animation techniques and modern technology to produce something sharply funny and beautifully composed; it is not quite like anything you have seen before.
		The animation is wonderfully dark and all of the characters are deliberately exaggerated caricatures - particularly the marvellous dog; the scenes involving his interest in trains are hilarious.

		Barely a word is spoken in the entire piece, but not one is needed, for Chomet has masterfully created characters that truly live, and, with each gesture, create a whirlwind of laughter and emotion.
		Les Triplettes de Bellville is made so special by the small details and they are beautifully eccentric.

		Delightfully playful and sharply observed, The Triplets of Belleville is an overwhelming feast for the senses, with its hysterically exaggerated characters, both breathtakingly vast and intricately rich settings, and infectious musical score, all bathed in a subtle melancholy which can’t help but make you empathise with the protagonists and their plight.
		It is not until Madame Souse finds a scrapbook filled with clippings of famous Tour de France cyclists under the young boy’s bed does she understand where his interest lies.
		An example of this is the towering wine bottle-shaped building which serves as the headquarters for the Belleville Mafia boss who, in true French wine-loving style, sports a pitted red swollen nose and dark rings under his eyes.
