This is an animated film that takes place in France. A boy named Champion is trained, night and day for the tour de France. His grandmother trains in non stop. Champion lives with his grandmother and overweight dog named Bruno. When the big race comes, Champion and a few of his fellow racers are kidnapped by some box-shouldered thugs who spirit them off to Belleville where they are forced to pedal as part of a gambling operation. Bruno and Grandma set out across the sea in a paddle boat to rescue him. When they come to ashore their automatically lost.
They are hungry and have no money. So one night by the shore they meet the Triplets of Belleville. The three were former scat singing jazz performers. The one thing that brings them all together is how that can use anomonious objects and make music. The Triplets take Burno and the grandmother to their apartment and feed them frogs and show them the way they live. The Grandmother, Burno the dog and the triplets work together to make music and perform and to rescue champion.
This was a very interesting movie. It taught me differnt cultural things about the French. It had many stereotypical examples of the french such as eating frog legs, crazy and what not. The film would earn five stars out of ten because of the humor, animation and structure.
