We had a whole discussion on this movie back when we was Fab (or maybe it was MP). I was introduced to it by NA, €, GD, and CP (and others). That was the first non-park event I joined with people I had met on the boards.
I really enjoyed it - whimsical and original. I love a movie that can tell a story with (virtually) no words. Bought not only the DVD, but the soundtrack as well.
BTW: it is spelled "
Belleville"
