Time: Richard Corliss
Triplettes is terrific…there's no competition for the fall's most imaginative delight. In that race, Triplettes can already take its victory lap.Read Full Review »

Boston Globe: Ty Burr
All you really need to enjoy "Triplets" is a taste for the weird and the wonderful.Read Full Review »

Philadelphia Inquirer: Steven Rea
With a bit of Tintin and Tati, Charlie Chaplin and Wallace and Gromit echoing in the pacing and comic sensibility, Triplets of Belleville conjures up a world that's totally surprising and sublime.Read Full Review »

Village Voice: J. Hoberman
The year's most ingenious and original animated feature.Read Full Review »

USA Today: Claudia Puig
Both a nostalgic throwback to the silent-picture era and an ultra-modern animated tale, the slyly humorous Triplets of Belleville is artful, engrossing and oddly touching.Read Full Review »

LOS ANGELES TIMES: Kenneth Turan
Fast, funny, unexpected and uninhibited, The Triplets of Belleville may be animated, but it is also the product of an artistic vision every bit as rigorous as any lofty Cannes prize-winner.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Lisa Schwarzbaum
If ''Finding Nemo'' is an awesome Pixar superpower, The Triplets of Belleville is a charming, idiosyncratic, self-governing duchy with huge tourism potential on the other side of the animated-movie planet.Read Full Review »

The New York Times: Dana Stevens
May be the oddest movie of the year, by turns sweet and sinister, insouciant and grotesque, invitingly funny and forbiddingly dark. It may also be one of the best, a tour de force of ink-washed, crosshatched mischief and unlikely sublimity.Read Full Review »

Washington Post: Ann Hornaday
Chomet's vision is singularly strange and somber, and one of enormous originality and promise.Read Full Review »

NewsWeek: David Ansen
A tad dark for little kids, this one-of-a-kind movie delivers 80 minutes of idiosyncratic inspiration.Read Full Review »
