Reviews for The Triplets of Belleville
A tour de force of ink-washed, crosshatched mischief and unlikely sublimity.

Top CriticA truly out-there piece of comic animation, the most outlandishly visual film of the year, this 80-minute French treat takes us into a world that can barely be described, a world unlike any we've seen before.

Top CriticWhile, like most animated films, The Triplets of Belleville was made by many people, this divinely eccentric movie feels as if it came straight to the screen from one man's wild and wantonly free imagination.

It's nasty but droll, cheerfully grotesque, full of non sequiturs as well as deadpan repetitions, never cute and the opposite of precious.
11/25/03
For someone with an adventurous cinematic appetite, a production that makes Miyazaki appear mainstream is surely worth a look.
11/25/03
A sophisticated, wholly original brand of animated storytelling that manages to be at once deliriously eccentric and deliciously sinister.

It's downright daft at times. But it's ingeniously crafted, marvelously drawn, and utterly unpredictable.

A bizarre yet beautifully composed piece of nutty whimsy.
11/02/03

Visual ingenuity, wry humour, and French self-parody add up to a strange and touching experience.
10/28/03
Grotesque yet trippy.

Belleville Rendez-Vous is an engaging, original Europudding cartoon, animated in the classical style, without the sugar of Disney, entertaining from start to finish.

An odd and oddly satisfying concoction.
