From Mike the Movie Man:

Triplettes of Belleville (B+)

Do you like animated films? If so, then go see Triplettes. If you are looking for clever dialogue, then this is not the movie for you. This is a visual movie. The only notable dialogue is found in the music of the Belleville Triplettes, and it's got a good beat to it. The animation is made to look like animation from Betty Boop's day. The story is a captivating tale about an orphaned boy and his grandmother. The grandmother discovers the boy's love of bicycles and appoints herself his trainer. Single-handedly, she turns the stumpy boy into a sinewy, big-calved machine for competition in the Tour de France. Along the way, the boy runs into an unexpected detour, and the boy and his grandmother eventually meet the Triplettes of Belleville who rescue them from their plight. This is a fun move and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I recommend it.
