'Les Triplettes de Belleville' is a different movie, with a grotesque animation and also a very strange plot. I cannot say that I loved it because I found the draws and the story bizarre and a little bit of disturbing,but I cannot say that is a bad movie, because it is very original. This film portrays everything with lots of symbolism and you need to pay attention to understand or to know some facts. It also makes references to famous people, like the American Josephine Baker,( who made a lot of success in France) Fred Astaire and Charles Chaplin (in a poster). By the way, the song that Madame Souza sings is a famous music from Portugal(''Fado'') called ''Uma Casa Portuguesa''( 'A Portuguese house'). You need to watch this movie more than 1 time to catch some things: The first time I watched, I thought that the characters didn't have a name,and only in the second time I got the cyclist name was 'champion', the dog was 'Bruno'and the grandmother was 'souza'.
Funny facts: The Americans being portrayed as obese. Everybody in USA is fat, they show lots of fast foods and pollution and even the statue of Liberty, a french present to the Americans, is fat in the movie, holding an ice cream instead of the torch. Some people are saying that is 'anti American', but I see as a funny joke , that tells that they should take care of their health and Bush should sign the Kyoto's protocol.
