Quirky, standout French animation about a boy, his grandmother, his dream of competing in the Tour de France, and his kidnapping midway through the race. Somewhere along the way, they latch onto a trio of retired songstresses (the titular triplets) and from there, the ride grooves to a catchy, incessant makeshift beat. A free-flowing adventure in every sense, it's never half as serious as the premise seems to imply - even when the crew is dodging bullets in New York aboard the equivalent of a parade float. The artwork is wonderful; organic and over-exaggerated in the very best ways, and all-too willing to poke fun at its own eccentricities. Stylish, funny and emotive, with a colorful soul and a restless spirit, I was especially impressed by its ability to convey the story without a shred of essential dialog. No subtitles necessary, just enjoy the show.

A very strange and rather short (70 minutes) animated movie from France. Some amusing moments, a unique style (of drawing) but over all only a mediocre flick.

This movie is an amazing piece of animation art. The characterisations are absolutely brilliant, the humour and commentary is biting, and the story is simple but amusing. If you like animations, cartoons, or laughing at things you shouldn't, this is one not to miss. Madame Souza is not to me messed with, and will achieve her goal, you better believe it.

This is known in the UK as 'Belleville Rendezvous'. As a fan of animation, I love the style. It's quirky and unique. The story is, well, strange. The sequence involving dinner at the triplets' residence is particularly odd and could be skipped if you are feeling queasy. But, overall it holds the attention and doesn't overstay its welcome.
