The Triplets of Belleville

The Triplets of BellevilleAcclaimed as perhaps the most inventive and well-crafted animated feature ever, The Triplets of Belleville has quite a reputation to uphold. As the story goes, a boy named Champion goes to live with his grandma who encourages his love of cycling. She pushes him to enter the Tour de France once he’s of age, unwittingly enabling an evil plan by the French mafia to kidnap him. Hot on his trail, Grandma and her faithful pooch encounter some eccentric ’30s film sirens who aid their search. Can her new friends and Bruno’s nose help her find Champion?
