I just saw this TWICE this past weekend. It's an animated film, a collaboration of French and Canadians. There's almost no dialog, half of it in English, half in French, no subtitles, and none needed.
I see it's playing in Montclair, though I saw it in NYC.
Highly recommended. I hope it comes out on DVD.

Agreed!
Did you see it at the Sunshine on 2nd Ave?
Aside from the 30 second Josephine Baker scene, it's a pretty cool movie to take an older kid to.
I hope someone releases the sound track. |

The music was amazing. So was the detail level of the drawing. As a former bike mechanic and bike racing fan, the details and the eye on the racing culture were dead on.
I used to look like Champion, very skinny with huge legs.
I took my almost-12-year-old to see it the second time. She loved it.
What Josephine Baker scene do you refer to?
Yes, I was at the Sunshine yesterday. I saw it at the Lincoln Center theater on Friday.
I parked on East 1 St yesterday, in front of a store that sells nothing but non-reversing mirrors. It was eery to look at myself raising my right hand and see someone raise his right hand.

We saw it in Montclair last Friday night, and it was phenomenal.
Tom: Josephine Baker appears with breasts bared and bouncing within the first 5-10 minutes of the film, in the nightclub with the Triplets when they were young. |

My son's reaction to the J.B. scene went something like this-
"Oh, gross! Look at all the bananas!" |

The "lead" cyclist in the film is drawn to look like Fausto Coppi, a great Italian bicycle racer from the 1940s and 50s.

I didn't know he was modeled after Coppi, but I did notice a Coppi fan poster on Champion's wall. There were lots of cycling details only an enthusiast would notice.
