Review of The Triplets of Belleville (2003) by Karl H — 03 Jun 2010
A unique and sharp film, with a decentralized and ambiguous location, also known as Belleville Rendez-Vous, this film plays the dual role of paying homage to Walt Disney, and condemning them for losing touch with its roots.
The film has largely NO dialog, aside from roughly two or three lines in all. The animation is an amazing synthesis of CGI and traditional-hand-drawn. There are dozens of subtle references to Disney's horrendous treatment and present state.
At one point, a turd in the shape of Mickey Mouse's head is seen, floating in a toilet. A baby is shown with a striking resemblance to Michael Eisner, and there are deeper meanings to many of the elements within the story.
A mock statue of Liberty is morbidly obese, and the people walking around the city appear more like beasts than human beings.
