And tonight's movie is...
The Triplets of Belleville
A boy named Champion trains relentlessly for the Tour de France, with the help of his loyal grandmother and overweight dog, Bruno. When the big race comes, Champion and a few of his fellow racers are kidnapped and shipped off to Belleville, a surreal impression of 1930s-1950s Manhattan, where they are forced to pedal as part of a clandestine gambling operation. Bruno and Grandma set out across the sea in a paddle boat to rescue their boy, but once ashore they soon become lost, hungry and penniless--that is, until the frog-eating Triplets of Belleville, former scat-singing jazz prodigies turned experimental musicians, come to their rescue.
