The tone of this droll, thrillingly odd animated film isn't easy to describe...A tad dark for little kids, this one-of-a-kind movie delivers 80 minutes of idiosyncratic inspiration.
A wonderfully weird bit of French animation that amounts to little but a celebration of its creator's bountiful imagination, yet manages to enthrall because writer-director Sylvain Chomet is such a solid visual storyteller.
Just when Jeffrey Katzenberg had loudly declared the death of 2-D animation, along came this sly, inventively drawn cartoon that blew the cumbrous studio leviathans out of the water.
Vous guessed it by now: Triplettes is terrific.
A winning blend of dark and bittersweet, aimed more at adults than kiddies, but suitable for all ages.
Relish the film's deadpan grotesquery, its flair for invention, be it the fanciful narrative segues or various object lessons...
Audience Reviews for The Triplets of Belleville
An inventive bit of 2D imagineering all about how a grandma cares for her grandchild. The ending is not as strong as the wonderful opening but it manages to sustain interest.
Super Reviewer
A wonderful dialogue-free animation - funny, odd and quite enchanting - that relies on a superb artwork and fabulous sound design, paying an enormous attention to its eccentric details, surreal touches, inventive scene transitions and extremely imaginative character traits.
Super Reviewer
Imaginative and completely engrossing. Chomet's animation is downright other-worldly. A must see.
