Madam Souza and her dog Bruno enlist the help of The Belleville Triplets when her grandson is kidnapped during the Tour De France. As they investigate they discover that Madam Souza’s grandson is being used as part of an underground gambling ring where people can bet on the outcome of mechanical bicycle races.

This was an interesting movie which uses little or no talking to convey the plot of the piece. The characters are lively and each have a personality of their own, whilst the background artwork and character design itself is worthy of Disney. This movie is great fun and filled with visual humour which will make most viewers want to watch it again and again.
