Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The bicycles are all computer generated and traced, because the director, Sylvain Chomet, did not believe it was worth the time to get the look of the bicycles "perfect". The figures on the bicycles, however, were only thin lines in the computer generated originals, allowing the animators to breathe life into them. more
Goofs:
Continuity: When Madame Souza, pretending to be blind, is following the mechanic, she approaches a junction where there is a fire hydrant, a newspaper vending machine and a pedestrian crossing. In the next shot, all have vanished. more
Quotes:
[first lines]
Madame Souza: Is that it, then? Is it over, do you think? What have you got to say to Grandma?

I LOVED this movie!, 12 April 2005
10/10
Author: debsdesserts (debsdesserts@yahoo.com) from United States

When I saw "The Triplettes of Bellville" on display at my video store I had never heard anything about it, so I had no idea what to expect. I chose it because to me, it looked bizarre- (which I love) and when I saw it was French it made me grab it right away. There was a show I used to watch called "OH CANADA" that had French / Canadian cartoons which were the most bizarre and enjoyable cartoons I had ever seen. They only showed it late at night because they weren't your typical cartoons, and more for adults than children. I was hoping Triplettes of Bellville would be something like that, and I was more than pleasantly surprised when I watched it. The first 5 minutes had me rolling with laughter and telling my partner "SEE! Isn't this great?!!" (He wasn't too sure of why I chose a cartoon for us to watch, but I kept telling him it would be good.) We both loved it, and commented how freaky and weird it was. It had many layers to it, and is one of those movies that I am sure the more you watch it, the more things you will see that you missed. I really loved the hidden meanings and psychological depth it had. For example, the part where we get to see a dog's dream...we were like "Woah- I bet that IS what dogs dream about!!!" I am determined to buy this movie, which I very rarely buy movies because they seem to lose their charm after you own them. I have already planned for my 3 sisters and I to get together just to watch this movie. I liked it so much that I am writing a review! (something I have never done!) I was a little upset when I heard that people were criticizing it, but then again, I have to expect that. It isn't the typical movie you would see in the theaters at any given time- but then again, that is EXACTLY why I loved it!!! So, if you love movies that are bizarre, different, and can take on many meanings, Triplettes of Bellville is the one to watch! I have been telling everyone I know to go see it!
