La Siene, La Siene, La Siene

The Other Human and I watched A Monster in Paris night before last, which meant that, naturally, we had to watch The Triplets of Belleville ("Swinging Belleville rendez-vouuus, marathon dancing, doop dee doooo") last night. I predict a rewatch of Ratatouille tonight, with Amelie up tomorrow, finishing with Hugo the night after. We are nothing if not predictable, and once set, we finish the damned course, dammit.

I wonder if I could dig up copies of the Reed-Chamberlain-York-Finlay-Lee-Welch The Three Musketeers and The Four Musketeers. I love about those movies that everyone was having such a good time filming the first one, they had enough good footage for two movies!

I love A Monster in Paris! Such a fun watch. Never seen The Triplets of Belleville however. I'm intrigued - I'll have to try it. :)

We love it, and OH is very picky about what he'll watch. We sort of got seduced by it. The animation isn't anywhere close to Pixar or Disney quality, it's more like Saturday morning cartoons, but actually more sophisticated, once you're paying attention. There's no dialogue, either, which is a little disconcerting. But it draws you right in, and you invest in the characters and want to know what happens to them. It's just a lovely little atmospheric film about loyalty and friendship and the little guys winning despite the odds. I'll be interested to know what you think once you've watched it. And I dare you not to go around humming the theme under your breath for a while!

I will definitely give it a try this weekend! And I'm sure I'll be humming the theme - I get songs in my head all the time. ;P
