DH and I LOVE this movie!!
What a classic.
One of our favorite bits is grandma who holds on to Champion's bike with an umbrella handle and follows behind him on his bike, pacing him with her whistle. We've both adopted that whistle when riding - particularly up grueling hills!
Ahhhh....
I wish I could find it on DVD in a store so we can add it it to our "library". I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for it next time we're out and about.

It's available at Amazon if nowhere else. And it did snag the Oscar that year for best song. I love this film and kid DH that the poor guy looks just like Champion!

Actually, no, it didn't get the Oscar for Best Song (DRAT!)
That went to the Lord of the Rings. All the Oscars went to LOTR that year. I was not pleased.
Ah well, life goes on.
I did like the details in Triplettes. The bicycle wallpaper, for instance. Or the increasingly frayed appearance of everyone supporting the Tour.
We may have to pull that movie out again tonight.Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.

Triplets of Belleville is one of the very few movies I actually own on DVD.
Finding Nemo won the best animated film that year. I will never forgive Nemo for that.
