Love this movie but it loses some points because a girl I had a crush on in high school said I looked like the waiter and I did not care for that one bit

Never have I felt more confused about I movie I know I liked.

It feels like this movie comes from a different dimention. It's both beautiful and ugly. It's funny, but not too funny. It's slow, but energetic. It's loud, but there's barely any dialogue.

I feel like I need to precess this film. And then process. And then process some more. I really liked it, it's just that I'm not entirely sure why.

One thing's for sure though. "Belleville Rendez-Vous", particularly the version tha plays during the credits, it's an absolute banger.

I love this stout animated mother with her musical bicycle wheel more than I love myself.

What a strange and fascinating throwback. This Oscar nominated film features hand drawn animation evocative of a bygone era (think 1930-1950), a focus on visual storytelling (with a notable lack of dialogue), and a dog that gets its tail run over by a toy train when it's a puppy and spends the rest of the film barking madly at every single train it sees. And There Are. A Lot. Of Trains.

The story is pretty strange - some mobsters kidnap a woman's cyclist son, and she enlists the help of an aged trio of musical performers to help enact his rescue. Along the way, there are boy scouts slapped, frogs blown up with hand grenades, mouse-men knocked out and impersonated (immousenated?), and the most eclectic mix of percussion instruments you could ever imagine. Recommended.

Loved this as a teen when I saw it in french class. Love it so much more now as an adult.

Truly weird and almost never utilizes dialogue, but yet you can't help but get invested in the lives of the main characters. It's a reserved, charming and unforgettable animated film that I'll be recommending until the day I can't anymore.

It's probably just me but The Triplets of Belleville is the most overrated film I've seen in awhile. Sporting a 7.8 on IMDB and a 94% tomatometer on Rotten Tomatoes I expected to at least like this film. Instead I found the story to be completely uninteresting and boring. The animation was good I suppose, but even that didn't impress me much. Other than that I don't have much to say about it. I guess it just wasn't for me.

I will never go to France

What a genuinely delightful weirdness of a movie! This was honestly so wholesome and easy to watch, I wish more people knew about it. This film kept me smiling from beginning to end, made me cringe and say what the fuck a few times but such a wonderful experience and so glad I watched this French classic.

Task 8. An animated foreign film.

The animation style is very interesting here. It focuses on surrealism in terms of character design; all characters have heavily exaggerated features that tell you so much about their character. Whether that be the horse-like Champion or the ‘little old lady’ Madame Souza, the style allows so much to be conveyed through the character’s look. The visuals throughout the film are great, the visual storytelling is extremely strong here, as it has to be with so little dialogue. The music is well utilised too, again, as it has to be as the primary source of sound in the film. The narrative is very engaging, walking the line between having high stakes whilst also managing to allow the film to breathe (even with such a short runtime). Not the most conventional or usual animated film, but having seen The Old Lady and the Pigeons, that’s not what I came on expecting.

Esta pelicula te hipnotiza con su animación tan particular y con su unico diseño de personaje.
Tiene un humor bastante absurdo que me sacó una carcajada en más de una ocación y es interesante como te mantiene entretenido sin apenas tener dialogo.
La atención a los detalles es increible, me encantó el detalle de que algunas personas tuvieran sonidos de animales.

Chomet is so wavy

THE DETAILS

Charming, amusing, and beautifully animated. The wordless plot made it difficult for me to latch on emotionally, but I was still engaged.

The film’s masterfully acted, masterfully directed, masterfully written, stylish, intriguing & is an original film. (89%)

so much to unpack here

Sajátosan keveredik a maró gúny a melankóliával, a szürreálissal és a félelmetessel, a zene remek (feat. Glenn Gould és Fred Astaire), a látvány pedig gyönyörű és részletgazdag. Egy csacsis-kakasos asztalterítőtől például teljesen elaléltam. Egészen egyedi hangulata van. És ami azt illeti, Madame Souza cukibb bármelyik Disney-hercegnőnél.

I will make you watch this movie

Incredible animation.
Almost works as a silent flick, with limited dialogues.
Gritty and outlandish.

i will never get sick of this film. it is an eccentric, charming adventure.

Dobra animacja, byłaby nawet bardzo dobra, gdyby nie z dwie gorsze sekwencje: mam na myśli tą w mieszkaniu Trio i końcową z pościgiem. Świetna kreska i klimat.
