DVD Reviews of The Triplets of Belleville

DVD Review: Delightfully Strange Movie
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a very strange and grotest (in the art term) movie. The main character, being a little old grandma, goes on a long journey to save her adopted (I beleive) grandchild from the French mafia.

Although this is a foriegn film, nothing is lost in translation becuase there are maybe 7 spoken words in the whole movie. It's primarily told through picture and music. The music is jazz era and very well done. This movie has nominations for it's music and you might find yourself humming these tunes later once you watch it.

(Also too note, this is PG-13 for partial nudity and violence)

DVD Review: french video
Summary: 5 Stars

Was very pleased with the speed of delivery and the ability to purchase french movies so easily.

DVD Review: Wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a terrific movie.

It's in French, but you don't need a lick of French to understand everything.

That's because gestures and images convey even the slightest details.

The story is both funny and moving, and filled with sly satire. The French come in for stereotyped bashing (the Triplets' diet--and love--of frogs), and the Americans come in for similar ridicule (every native in Belleville, minus the waiters and Triplets, is preposterously obese, and proud of it).

Exaggeration and caricature are rife, and yet the movie is charming and compassionate and uplifting.

It's also brimming with more creativity and heart than 20 Pixars put together.

How wonderful to see a tiny granny with a stacked-up shoe. How even-more-wonderful to see the granny, without a blink, bring the entire wine mafia down with it.

Also, the music is superb.

The film has a wonderful sense of time and place--from the beginning, grainy, sepia 30s-cartoon shots of the young Triplets, to the rampant suburbanization that tilts the granny's house, to the gothic and ornate and creepy/beautiful Belleville of today.

Also, the dog is miraculous.

DVD Review: Couldn't Take My Eyes Off This DVD
Summary: 5 Stars

I saw this superb animated feature by accident one weekend afternoon. I couldn't take my eyes off of it. I simply had to have it. The transaction through Amazon was smooth and the delivery was the same. Now, to share this work of art with my friends and family!

DVD Review: WTF?
Summary: 1 Stars

I love animation- I am an artist/designer- this was a waste of Talent. The Animation was artistic- but who ever wrote this- (I haven't researched yet) had a big problem with his Parents- (totally devoid of them in the story) was an Obsessive NUT for Tour De France- fitness, the French, and Nostalgia of the personal kind. He loved his Grannie- and thought she was Invincible. The whole film is "Incroyable"!! (of the super"silly"ious kind)

Description of The Triplets of Belleville

After her grandson is kidnapped during the Tour de France, Souza and her dog Bruno are taken by triplet sisters to Belleville, in order to find him.
Genre: Foreign Film - French
Rating: PG13
Release Date: 3-APR-2007
Media Type: DVD

Words cannot capture the delights of The Triplets of Belleville, an astonishing animated movie from the mind of French director Sylvain Chomet. In fact, there are only a few spoken sentences in the entire film; most of the soundtrack is a mix of squeaks, barks, and the jazzy music of Benoit Charest. A bicyclist is kidnapped from the Tour de France by mysterious gangsters; his grandmother travels to the city of Belleville (which has a sardonic version of the Statue of Liberty in its harbor), where she tracks him down with the help of a musical trio gone to seed, the Belleville Triplets. This hand-drawn movie is unlike anything you'll see from Disney; every scene mixes the silent comedy of Jacques Tati and Buster Keaton--in which the world of objects subtly fights with living beings for mastery--and the bouncy hop of Betty Boop. Unique and mesmerizing. --Bret Fetzer
