Sylvain Chomet’s (The Illusionist) much-loved debut feature, noted for its inventive humour, idiosyncratic art style, and brilliant score, returns to the big screen.
In the 1960s, young orphan Champion lives with his grandmother, Madame Souza, and dreams of winning the Tour de France. But before he is given the chance to compete he is kidnapped by the French Mafia and taken to the city of Belleville where his cycling skills are utilised by the gangsters.
When she follows her grandson's trail to Belleville, Madame Souza enlists the help of 1930s jazz trio The Triplets of Belleville and her trusty dog Bruno to help her find Champion… will they manage to save the day?
