The

Triplets Of Belleville

The Triplets of Belleville (2003)

is a film written and directed by
Sylvain Chomet. More recent
films by Chomet including Paris,
je taime (2006) and The
illusionist (2010). The animation
styles in the films are beautiful to
look at, with the warm colours
and interesting character
designs. Batrice Bonifassi, Lina
Boudreau, Lina Boudreau and
Jean-Claude Donda are some of
the voice stars of characters in
The Triplets of Belleville.

The film is based on a young boy who is raised by his grandma Madame Souza,
having a childhood passion in cycling his gran trains him for years to take in part
in the Tour de France. With endless time spent on practice during the race he is
kidnapped. His grand and dog chase after them to save them and end up over
seas in a town called Belleville. With no money and nowhere to stay three elderly
women take them in. The three women were once in a popular jazz group
named The Triplets of Belleville. The triplets help Souza find her grandson so
they can return back home safely.

The film has a great style and upbeat music. As there isnt much talking in the
film the music really helps with the pace of the movie. The characters are so
bizarre looking with exaggeration of body parts yet this distinctive style has this
lovely charm, and would recommend others to watch this film.
