I, for the past 17 years thought that this was a fever dream I saw when I was like two. I only found the movie because I clicked on a random link in a discord someone invited me to. (bad habit, I know) But holy shit, the movie really is amazing.

Did you know Belleville is a mix of Paris, Montreal, and NYC? But agreed with basically everything you said, honestly. It's something else. And everything makes music! Chomet has made other great stuff too, and looking forward to the next ones by him from you! Have a nice safe day!

Finally. A decent video about this film. My brother showed me it in 2012, and I honestly think it changed how I see animation, and cinema in general.

This Animated Feature Is One Of My Favorites! Great Characters, Outstanding Animation, Catchy Music, and A Very Entertaining Story Make This Underrated Gem One Of The Greatest Animated Films Of All Time! I Love It!

Love this film, Bruno is a hoot! I’ve shared it with friends and family and they don’t get it, or it wasn’t their cup of tea. The opening cabaret scene pays homage to many historic entertainers, I think my friends don’t get that. They don’t know Django, Josephene, Fred Astaire and many others.

I first discovered this movie when I was very small. It was in my little dvd book. My mom still cannot recall where she found it. I have never heard anything about it on the internet until now. It had stayed in the back of my head and I haven’t seen the movie in years. My little adhd brain couldn’t wrap its head around the silence in the movie, so I couldn’t really understand what was happening, but the art style and the uniqueness of it captivated and mesmerized me. I still have that dvd, and now that I have half a head I might go watch it. Thank you so much for this video.

Most traumatic childhood memory was hurricane katrina. Family evacuated but never moved back. Literally sectioned off my life like a comic book arc. Anyway Triplets is literally my favorite animated movie. Such a classic

This movie is weird but intriguing; it has good music and animation, likable characters, a fun story. I love it :D It deserved more attention and love... like Treasure planet, Song of the Sea and Rise of the Guardians! I'm excited to watch the sequel, the director made another movie and i didn't saw it yet! My most traumatic childhood memory is when i pissed myself in elementary school; i was in fifth grade. I asked several times the teacher if i could go to the bathroom, she never answer me then it was too late! I wet my pants, the chair AND the floor. A puddle of my pee was on it! Everyone laughed at me and no one helped me to clean it, I HAD TO DO IT! I was nine, it was one of the worst days of my life ;(

I watched this as a child it is not a children movie!!😂💀

This is a fucking childhood trauma. I'm literally still terrified by this animation.

This is a very good review/analysis of a truly charming movie, and mirrors my own opinion almost completely. I'll add 1 element, _character arc._ Not in the role of any players in the film, but the character arc _of the viewer._ Because this movie is _visceral._ The viewer is invested and involved, a character that is helpless other than to wish and hope. When it's over you realize you land where your arc started, flat but strangely full, wondering what exactly what you had just witnessed.

Such an amazing animation film. It just kept surprising with how creative animators can be. Thank you for the video

I remember this film. Man it was great. Animation was gorgeous, the story was fun and unpredictable, and the cast was memorable.. It deserves more recognition.

There are actually more digs at disney than the mousey man, my favorite of which is the waste in the toilet of the triplets' apartment buildind is mickey mouse's profile.

Aaaand you get a new subscriber. Nice work.

This is perfect edit and perfect narration of a perfect review, finaly some reviewer who understands what “show dont tell” really means

I’ve loved this movie when I was a kid! What drew me was the art style and the plot.

IMO a lot of people know this but watched it when they were younger.. forgot about it.. remembered it again.. and couldn’t find it. Or at least that’s what happened to me

This Film is Art

I *_LOVE_* this movie! The whole school all huddled up in one classroom to watch this amazing yet weird movie, man, I'll never forget hearing one of the teachers laughing so hard at some of the obscure scenes. I had to rent the movie again the same week. I don't know why but I *really love* the depressing jazzy music that plays during some of the scenes for some reason.

I know this is quite late, a full two years after the video was posted! but it just stumbled on my feed and I was hooked! When I started liking animation for real dad wanted to broaden my horizons so I didn't just stay on the anime side of things, or simple cartoon and the "standard" animation pieces, so, my oldest cousins introduced me to Princess Mononoke and battle angel alita (the ova), and my dad brought this one! I was blown away by the detail and I found myself engulfed by the movie, the movements that were so weird and surreal, so enticing and traumatizing at the same time, how the music took you by the throat an took you along for the travel. Even the world, in a delicate balance between realism and dystopia, of something otherworldy, made me fell in love!

I saw this movie listed on Turner Classic Movies for February 19, 2024, and set the DVR accordingly. It was...different, very FRENCH, with such muted colors that I thought it was Monochrome for a while. Without any spoken lines, and no English subtitles, I wondered if this was a "Monsieur Hulot" project. What got me was when we finally arrived in Belleville. A "statue of libertines" was as round as Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, as were the residents. The "French Mafia" rode around in variations of the Citroen 2CV, even a stretch limousine version! I had my doubts about this animated feature, but it's as interesting as the elderly "triplets," who somehow had access to German "Potato Masher" grenades!

When I use to have cable I loved this movie. I really enjoyed the plot and animation and it’s such a shame they don’t show it on tv anymore.

The background artwork IS breathtaking.

Travelled 300 miles to London to watch the premiere of this superlative and exceptional film Its a once in a lifetime experience and gets a solid three fumbs upp from this particular traveller on planet Errff..

Dude I fucking remember it. Yet never knew the name.

I just watched this for the very first time and wondered where this has been hidden away. I have never ever seen such a great cartoon type film that was done so well. The graphic detail of the artwork is enough to make it Oscar worthy. I recommend it to everyone.

I love this new series! Keep them up :) The visual style of this movie is epic! In regards to your closing statement, my most traumatic memory from childhood is that time a cockroach touched my leg when I fell back asleep after a nightmare.#NoThankYouBuggyBoy

So glad I finally got around to seeing it! The attention to detail, themes, and music is astounding! Highly recommend

The animation looks something out of Professor Layton series I wouldn't be surprised if level 5 games got inspired by this film.

Watched it before it first came out in a surprise showing of our movie theater in Germany! My fav is the frog scene, I still remember now! And the song of course!!!

The French make some pretty damn good animated films, actually!

I randomly found this film when I was like 12 Y/O I got no idea what's happening, but I really love it.

My family’s known about this film since it came out. Since then, I’ve met exactly 1 person who’s known about it

I love the style it’s so beautiful a really good movie I didn’t know it existed until right now so beautiful of a movie one of my new favorite films

Chomet also influenced Tomm Moore and Cartoon Saloon. They make wonderful movies. Song of the Sea is my favourite.

This is a masterpiece....I first saw it back in 2006 ..

There is one detail who is underrated **The statue of liberty have a big burger instead of the book and a icecream instead of the torch**

Loved this movie since I was 4

I love this movie! And this review is hilarious! How the hell do you not have more subs?!

I’m in love w/this incredible slice of animation … the triplets of Bellevue 👏👏👏🏻👏👏🏻👏🏼👏🏻

Easily one of my top 5 films.

I always loved this movie.

We watch it every year before the start of the Tour de France, which is featured in the film.

Can't deny that the character designs are downright hideous, very stylistic of the early-to-mid 90s, especially The Brothers Grunt. It was not intended for children, but the kids who did watch it were.creeped out & had nightmares. The lack of dialogue makes the story about as cohesive as Skibidi Toilet, where you either have to watch it a hundred times & pay attention to even the most minor detail in the background, or have someone who can do that explain it to you.

Seen it with my family back in 2008, it was quite entertaining, the loyal dog is cute, mama loves her boy, a must see

Movie like a fever dream

Sniffs, sniffs, KZfaq has already taken down the one with english sub 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 (even though I already watched the one without on Utube). But anyway, I do like the film.....besides kinda creeps out with the body proportion structures.....probably the creator likes the kind of those drawings (though I'm not if I should call that inspire by caricature styles or whatsoever). The ending though is actually want confused me more since I don't know what's it supposed to mean. But I can assure that you get some funny & cool scenes of actions on this film (even though it's not trying to grand like epic journey with mythical fantasy lores or such, which of course this film is more close enough to of slice of life......and some surreal from the characters (design.....).

This whole movie is a fucking fever dream 💀 I love it so much

What an interesting choice for a narration voice! The closest thing it reminds me of is when the Wizard is presenting the diploma, clock and medal to Dorothy's friends. That style, or maybe Evan Peters' character Mr. March in AHS: Hotel. It's a touch of grandeur. My only regret about this video is when you drop the f bomb; that's always a signal to me to be tempted to dismiss whoever is speaking as just an overgrown frat boy who has trouble expressing himself verbally. I know, it's probably wrong of me to feel that way but I can't help it. Nice to see love for this animated gem. I was listening to the song recently (both English and French versions) on KZfaq. Love how he says "Acapuuuuulco" and "Honoluuuuulu". That tune always makes the listener want to start dancing.

Its on hulu I saw it

Love this movie

My favourite ❤

As a kid I used to watch this weird movie with my mom all the time

have you seen bubble bath by györgy kovásznai? cool hungarian animation made in 79'. If you like funky character design you'll dig this one for sure!

My Narcissistic dad make me watch this as a kid, and i was never the same 😭

Good stuff! +1

Strange movie though animation is weird but it'll pick your interest the more you watch it the more you appreciate the animation and the plot.

Please don't say "f*cking" or 'sh*t", because it sounds immature when used out of context. This is a review and not an army barrack or Little Italy street corner. Otherwise, great review.

What's the name of that song in the beginning??

This movie is a drug trip.

Your voice is awesome

Methinks the director was a fan of Blue Man Group. It's kind of pretentious, like avant garde fashion or Yoko Ono's singing.

Such a snooze fest. Would be better if it had dialog or made it a silent movie
