snidgeskin One of the best films I've seen in a while, certainly far outshines other animation features witnessed of late. True animal characteristics for a change. Hugely imaginative, great entertainment, had me laughing out-loud. Three thumbs up!PS: I've gone off frog soup.

RadiSadek The more I think of this movie, the more I hate it.Why is that? Because as time passes, I forget its shiny looks and nicely done drawings, and see it more as it really is: an empty shell of a movie, with no lovable character, and a very lame, unoriginal and clichéd story. And especially boring. I believe that it is 1000 times more difficult to make somebody laugh and marvel at something beautiful, than to create ugly works (much easier actually). That is why modern art is most of times about ugly stuff. Yes, I am comparing this movie to modern art, because that is what I was thinking of during the entire movie. Ugliness disguised as satire. This movie is also devoid of any emotional feelings. This is what you get when you try to make something original just for the sake of it, while not being inspired at all. The french have a long lasting hatred against the Americans, mainly because their greatness has been utterly reduced to practically nothing. So, in a desperate effort to prove that they still exist and still capable of reaching the high level of American Movies like Rattatouile Toy Story, etc., they said to themselves why not make a satire on these movies. Except that I, for one, saw right through it as it really is: a lame movie. Period. Next time, try to make us laugh, or cry, or happy or sad, anything but try to make us feel something. And then we'll talk about your views on fat Americans and Disney movies.4/10 only for the graphics.

Jose Cruz There are few good animated film made outside of Japan. Most of the good animated films made outside Japan are the excellent but simple films of Pixar and classic Disney. Here we appear to have a pleasant alternative: a highly creative and poignant animated french film.Some consider it as a pinnacle in terms of animation features even comparable to Spirited Away. I would strongly disagree here, this film is excellent but Spirited Away is a timeless masterpiece. It's like comparing the excellent Source Code to a classic such as 2001: A Space Odyssey. It is unfair and should not be done.Highly recommended still. Just do not expect a masterpiece.

wandereramor From its opening sequence The Triplets of Belleville is a hyperkinetic riot, a near-wordless stream of action and animation that is simply a pleasure to watch. It's not an unmitigated, unrealistic joy -- the setting is distinctly grimy, and there's the general feeling of a lost golden era in distant, hazy memory.But in the end, the cloudy surroundings only make the joy of the film more powerful. The Triplets of Belleville is ultimately a cry to reclaim that raw joy we see so often in the pop culture of days gone by, that maybe didn't ever exist in reality, but perhaps if we try hard enough, life can be joyous again for the first time. That the plot is insubstantial and the denouement non-existent seems to only make the film more energetic, as it dispatches with all the unpleasant formalities to get down to what, it suggests, cinema should be: unfettered fun.
