Reviews for The Triplets of Belleville
Not since Pee-wee's Big Adventure has the story of a boy and his bike been this delightfully strange.
12/05/03
Quite unlike anything you will have ever seen in an animated picture.
08/14/03
No review available.
05/10/04
A tour de force of ink-washed, crosshatched mischief and unlikely sublimity.
11/25/03
Top CriticBelleville Rendez-Vous is an engaging, original Europudding cartoon, animated in the classical style, without the sugar of Disney, entertaining from start to finish.
08/19/03
The comparative abstractness of Mr. Chomet's vision allows the mind to wander freely.
12/11/03
Top CriticIt should appeal to adventurous types looking for a more challenging animated feature.
11/25/03
[Sylvain] Chomet's vision is singularly strange and somber, and one of enormous originality and promise.
01/30/04
Chomet has made a refreshing film set apart by its humour, unique cultural flavour and quality animation.
12/19/03
Visual ingenuity, wry humour, and French self-parody add up to a strange and touching experience.
10/28/03
Much of the story unfolds with the careful, deliberate pacing of the best silent films, and the action ranges from kitchen sink realism to outlandish fantasy.
01/14/04
One of his greatest achievements is allowing the audience to crawl inside Bruno's head. Not since "Babe" has a movie made me care so much for a four-legged character.
02/16/04
An animated film that takes familiar Disney archetypes and twists them into vivid, imaginative shapes.
01/29/04
Top CriticIt's all très charming.
11/28/03
Top CriticSomething unique: mixing styles, eras and geography into a cocktail that is both funny and melancholy.
03/14/05
A sensational counterpoint to everything animation means as family entertainment in Hollywood.
01/23/04
Impossible to describe, impossible to forget.
12/26/03
Like a silent film that just happens to be drawn instead of made with real people - it's absolutely mesmerizing to look at this animation.
12/24/03
Watching The Triplets of Belleville is like getting lost in a storybook you never want to put down.
