A madcap milestone. Not since Disney's 75-minute Alice In Wonderland (1951) has an animator filled the screen with dazzling flights of random invention that manage to hook up into a swift, brief narrative.

Both a nostalgic throwback to the silent-picture era and an ultra-modern animated tale, the slyly humorous Triplets of Belleville is artful, engrossing and oddly touching.

Con una hermosa animación, música y personajes que se quedan en tu mente, Las Trillizas de Belleville es simplemente una película genial

An instant classic in animation! Beautifully drawn, hyperbolic and emotional. Interesting play with the stereotypes of the French toward the US. A highly recommended movie.

The year's most ingenious and original animated feature.

An animated extravaganza of Gallic wit and soul that delivers more wild humanity than many of the year's live-action features. In a word: go.

To call it weird would be a cowardly evasion. It is creepy, eccentric, eerie, flaky, freaky, funky, grotesque, inscrutable, kinky, kooky, magical, oddball, spooky, uncanny, uncouth and unearthly. Especially uncouth.

Chomet bows to the tradition of conventional animation even as he tests its limits.

The manic energy of the lively and outrageous opening sequence sets a tone and pace the film can't maintain.

My favourite cartoon film of time. Beautiful art direction and animation, creative and original story, deep emotional undertones and symbolism. Amazing from start to finish. One of the most catchy theme songs of all time. Do yourself a favor and check this out

The Triplets of Belleville is already obvious what were the results. A big, fun animation just for the best of the people and their need of watching movies.

There was little communication of warmth between mother and son. The son barely acknowledged her existence. Missing that emotional connection, I just couldn't fully connect to the film despite its great production levels

I didn't enjoy it. Not for a single second. Extremely depressing and confusing! I can not say if it is overrated or not (maybe i'm missing something about this movie, maybe i'm not) but with all my sincerity, i must admit i didn't like it.

This is not a mainstream cartoon, it's probably meant to be some intellectual, artsy project. No problem with that, the problem is that I completely fail to see any value in it.
No entertainment. No, really: what is there to laugh about? Is there any semblance of a plot? Why is everything drawn and animated to be so profoundly UGLY?
People giving this movie high marks evidently see something I cannot see, so I may be an uneducated lout here, but I'm always for declaring the emperor naked when I see it. This is possibly the absolute worst movie I've watched in the past ten years. It has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
