"A beguiling and masterful mélange of the sweetly nostalgic and the grotesquely perverse, Triplets is Gallic to the core: pleasurable to all, yet steeped in knowing affection for the entire history of animation. It would be foolhardy to abridge the film’s breathless plot, except to salute its central players: intrepid old Madame Souza and her mopey dog Bruno; her grandson Champion, the monomaniacal Tour de France aspirant; and that inimitable Greek chorus of vaudevillian triplets, still swinging after all these years." (Recent Acquisitions and Restorations, 2006 Press Release)
