No Money, No Hamburger

No Money, No Hamburger

My new hero is Bruno, the dog in The Triplets of Belleville. An incident with a toy train traumatizes him as a puppy, early in the flick. His hatred of the real thing knows no bounds. It's a running gag in the movie. I identify very much with Bruno.

Also? No Money, No Hamburger? It's a small bit in the movie, but it made me laugh.

The movie's a lot of fun, if you haven't seen it. Lots of good gags (check out how one of the Triplets catches frogs--you won't be disappointed). There's very little dialog, and the movie relies on the strength of its animation to tell the story. It's very well done.

It's not a kids' movie. You won't see smart animated stuff like this come out of an American studio.
