At first I wasn't sure what to think about this movie because it was weird. Very very weird. But weird is good and so is this movie.
A depressed boy gets gifted a trycicle as a present from his grandma after a series of unsuccessful gifts (including one of the main characters-train hating dog sidekick Bruno) thus spuring him on to dedicate his life training for the Tour De France.
When the time comes to compete, trouble erupts along the race and the boy (Champion) gets kidnapped by the French Mafia (oh no!).
What happens next you'll have to find out for yourselves because it's a very simple delight of a movie with colourful characters and great animation. Who the heck are the Triplets of Belleville and how the heck does Champion get rescued?
