The Triplets of Belleville Is A Rallying Cry For The Virtues of Hand-Drawn Animation

I've always carried a deep affinity for hand-drawn animation. I remember being the one eight-year-old on the planet who was fervently following the closure of Disney's hand-drawn animation units in 2004 and experiencing immense rage over the artform being shoved aside in the U.S. Just normal adolescent angst. Anywho, I've carried that passion for this particular artform well into adulthood and such a passion only increased in intensity thanks to a trio of first-time watches over the summer of 2019. Experiencing The Fabulous Baron Munchausen, Fantastic Planet and the subject of this review The Triplets of Belleville for the first time over the span of a few months made me further appreciate all the wonders hand-drawn animation can achieve that no other artform can quite replicate.
