Belleville Rendez-vous
An excellent film; a beautifully rich and original animation with a Stomp-like soundtrack. Belleville Rendez-vous is a very funny movie playing on French and American stereotypes such as the French love of frogs legs and Le Tour de France, and American’s obesity and poor manners. I just love the dog whose characteristics are so real.
Director Sylvain Chomet’s second animated feature, The Illusionist, should be out next year and is based on an unproduced Jacques Tati script.

Finding Nemo
Beautiful colours, great characters (particularly the minor characters), but perhaps a little let down by the plot which seems to try too hard. Finding Nemo is a good Pixar animation, but having returned to it after watching Ratatouille and The Incredibles it doesn’t stand up quite so well as I remembered.
