Les Triplettes de Belleville is a 2003 animated feature film written and directed by Sylvain Chomet.
It was released as The Triplets of Belleville in North America, and as Belleville Rendez-vous in the UK.The film was highly praised by audiences and critics for its unique (and somewhat retro) style of animation. It was an international co-production between companies in France, Belgium and Canada.
The film satirically pokes fun at national stereotypes and clichés foreigners spread about French and Americans. It laughs at the stereotypes of the French (for example their alleged obsession with the Tour de France, or their so-called fondness for eating frogs) and Americans (for example their alleged obesity and lewd manner).
The film features almost no spoken dialogue, though some spoken words (such as Tour de France radio commentary and a speech by Charles de Gaulle on evening TV) are included sporadically...
