't is!
made me laugh out loud quite a few times - not an easy task, I can tell you.
and as I said, the animation is incredible. the combination of 2D and 3D is almost seamless (quite a great feat!).
what I also love is the edge in the film - there some nasty stuff going on in places, which makes it bittersweet. subtle and good.

yeah it was great. i love how it is basically a silent film, the entire story portrayed visually. i like how you can tell so much about each character just by examining the way they were drawn.
and the music was good.

it had the song which should've won the Oscar.. although they did the english version, while the singer of the french version is more fun.

i agree it was a much better song. but i think the academy was doing a little extra back-patting considering the unprescedented scale of LOTR.

i saw this about a month ago and didnt enjoy it at all. yeah, the animation was really incredible, but in terms of story and making sense it was in the toilet. my opinion is that its a weird movie thats getting all this accliam because people are afriad that if they dont like it people will say "oh, you just dont get it." etc. etc.
the disney/dali short they showed before it was spectacular though, the animation and images were great. this is what i think bellville could have been, since they didnt even try to tack on some kind of story.

it did have a pretty basic storyline, which is amusing and whimsical, but the storytelling (the manner in which the story is told, through the highly stylized animation) is the star of the show. i thought it was very engaging and entertaining and despite its influences very original.
not earthshattering or life-altering, just a lot of fun.

yeah the Dali thing was pretty cool. it was also nominated for an oscar.
you ought to try watching it again, if you didn't quite understand it the first time. i agree that part of what makes it good is it's ambiguity though. But i think the intent of the film-maker was to force you to pay attention to detail. If they wanted to just lay the story out to you, they could have written dialogue. but you are meant to comprehend the story visually.
so in short, yes, i agree that "not getting it" is part of "getting it."

i think the old lady's were just eating frogs because they were fucking poor. they are so poor, they didn't have any use for a refrigerator, so they play it like an instrument instead of storing food in it.
The bikers were being used in a virtual reality type toure de france race. and the people were betting on who would win.

so the bike betting thing is apparently what the mob does. and like Marcelas Wallace, rigging fights with Butch in Pulp fiction, The little mob boss guy rigs these races.
see? it's like Pulp Fiction. so it's cool! right?

it's a little unfair to judge a movie that you didn't understand though. you ought to at least give it another viewing and see if that clears up any confusion.
i had a teacher in high-school that always said, "you haven't read a book once untill you've read it twice." i think that also applies to movies. unless, of course, they are really fucking bad. but i don't thing Triplets falls into that category.

i will probably watch it again sometime and see what i think of it then, but im not about to shell out the $10 it would cost to do that at the moment.
now that you mention it, maybe i should watch jurassic park 3, im sure that movie only gets better the more times you watch it

just a little gentle teasing, hedphukker.
i'm sure if you watch it again, you will realize that the story is actually pretty clear and simple. maybe your mind was wandering during your viewing.
no movie will be universally well received, obviously; my wife didn't like it nearly as much as i did, she thought it was a little tedious.
