2003's 1930's/1950's-ish "The Triplets of Belleville"

Anyone seen 2003's 1930's/1950's-ish "The Triplets of Belleville"?

Looks Pretty Strange... French; animated... starts in the 1930's, then becomes a 1950's-ish "Godfather"-type gangster movie, from the sounds of it... Netflix has it... wondering if anyone who's seen it thought it was worth 2 hours?

Loved it.

Overshadowed when Finding Nemo took best animated film at the Oscars in 2004.
The music was delightful, but the movie wasnt for kids.
PBS just ran it here a couple weeks ago. I must admit that in the theater, it was a bit long, but rewatching it at home was fine.

I had the music going thru my head for months afterward. Can't recommend it enough. And you'll never look at competitive bicyclists the same way again.

I thought it wonderfully bizarre.
Wasn't there a part where she goes to a place like America where everyone is fat?[huh]

Sincerely,

Actually the film is French Canadian. They have some great animation studios up there. This film, I thought was one of the best fusions of 2D and 3D animation ever done.

Here is an older thread on it.

Ah, thanks.

Was puzzled when I searched for it here & saw no related posts on first couple of pages... it's on the queue.

One of the best animated features of the last decade. With the cartoon industry failing and CGI taking over everything, this traditional animated feature helps to show how the traditional style can adapt to modern animation techniques.
