French director Sylvain Chomet's highly acclaimed THE TRIPLETS OF BELLEVILLE comes to DVD on May 4, 2004 (Columbia TriStar Home Ent., $24.96) with the best opportunity to broaden its appeal. The mostly hand-drawn tale (with a pinch of 3ds max thrown in, including the wheel) of bicycling, gangsters and the music hall is a unique experience to behold.
Extras include:
* Three behind-the-scenes featurettes with commentaries: Opening Sequence, Restaurant Performance, Tuning the Wheel* Making-of featurette* "The Cartoon According to Director Sylvain Chomet" featurette* Music video of the Academy Award-nominated "Belleville Rendez-vous" Song
Bill Desowitz, former editor of VFXWorld, is currently the Crafts Editor of IndieWire.
