The Triplets of Belleville (2003)
Well, it's certainly like nothing you've ever seen before. The trouble is that it's so wrapped up in its own sensibilities that it seems to be telling jokes that only it can understand. Too determinedly weird to ignore but too insular to enjoy, this qualifies as a curio. (And before anyone says anything, I realize that I also just described Songs from the Second Floor. All I can say is that it's a matter of tone, I guess.) The eye-catchingly grotesque animation design is a plus.
Grade: C+
