i thought id point out this bit of animated cinema in hopes that it gets just a wee more attention. the triplets of belleville, a french production that was showcased at the 2003 cannes film festivals, is a bit of traditionalist animation amongst a sea of computer-generated fare and hyper-nihon anime. not to say that finding nemo, ghost in the shell, sakura wars, and the like dont deserve the attention that they get, but its nice to have some fresh air in between the massive juggernauts of japan and america every once and a while. triplets, a movie about a grandmother and her dog searching for her kidnapped champion biker grandson thru an anachronistic world of the stylized 30’s, has a unique style all its own. you should just watch the damn trailer and hope that it gets some kind of distribution here.
