Can't stop thinking about The Triplets of Belleville. I want to own it and watch it over and over.

I liked the little jabs at Disney, although the Mickey turds were over-the-top.

And the Fleischer-esque beginning terrified me as Fleischer-esque things always do. (I can't take that kind of grotesquerie. It's a waking nightmare for me.) But still I loved this movie. It can't all be the timing-- the throwback stuff in the age of the Tyranny of CGI. The computer effects were perfect accents, the way computer animation should be. Michael Eisner (or his successor, hmm? ;) needs to take note of this. (Hint: Rescuers Down Under: gooooooood; Dinosaur: baaaaaaaad.) Movies that rely on the fluidity-- the gracefulness-- of hand-drawn while still allowing computer animation to add to the atmosphere, that brings in touches of technical perfection to offset the real stuff-- that's what they need to go for. More Iron Giants. More Triplets of Belleville.
