Sylvain Chomet writes and directs this French animation. In the 1960s, young orphan Champion lives with his grandmother, Madame Souza, and dreams of winning the Tour de France. But before he is given the chance to compete he is kidnapped by the French Mafia and taken to the city of Belleville where his cycling skills are utilised by the gangsters. When she follows her grandson's trail to Belleville, Madame Souza enlists the help of 1930s jazz trio The Triplets of Belleville and her trusty dog Bruno to help her find Champion.

A classic within the genre.
This is a fabulous animated film that captures the essence of an era. Cinema Noir meets Gothic. Humour and Drama by the bucket load.

Simply the best - one of the oldest cartoons but wonderful
Early cartoon film style that would have been ahead of its time when made. - First introduced tho this film years ago 2006 - Tracing a Grandmother and her grandson who has lost his parents, in their dysfunctional family life and that of their dog - Eventually the depressed little lad got a puppy and a bike - The puppy took on all the neurosis of the family and the bike took him to the tour de france - What an adventure - Watch this again and again - so odd, so very cleaver.
