The Triplets of Belleville (2003)
Starring:
Director: Sylvain Chomet
Country: France
Genre: Foreign, Animation
Triplets isn’t for everyone, but anyone seeking an animation that doesn’t involve talking animals or crotch shots should look this one up.
I don’t know what I was expecting going into this one, but whatever it was I didn’t get. Or maybe I got it with so much more. I’ll tell you this, I never expected to see old ladies in a chase scene with the mob. I didn’t expect to see anyone killed. The Triplets of Belleville is a bizarre and wonderful delight of adult animation. The reputation of the film’s music preceded the film for me, and for great reason. It’s some of the more innovative and eclectic tunes I’ve ever heard. This film is a perfect argument that traditional hand drawn animation can provide just as much eye candy as anything computer generated.
