I am Grand France

This film was received last year. At that time, I read a report in Cannes, saying that this film made the French "crazy", and it was so much higher than the box office of a certain American blockbuster released in the same period. With the pearls of "Amelie" in front, it makes it hard for me to doubt their taste, so I accept it. I haven't watched it since then, because there is no suitable time, place, environment... These excuses are all hell, the problem is still on my own.
So when sorting out the film, carefully remove it and put it into the reading disk. Simple lines, perfect details, subtle character designs, I want to attach a lot of praise to this animated film. There are no lines in the whole film, at most only a few exclamations from the protagonist, but the soundtrack and scenes are not sloppy at all, which is not something ordinary directors can do. It is said that the film was originally two short films, which were later merged into one feature film for various reasons. Therefore, the main lines of the film are two. The little boy and his grandma live in a quiet suburb. The grandma loves the little boy very much and carefully observes the little boy's every move. At first, grandma brought a puppy named Bruno to the little boy for company, but he was still very melancholy. One day when grandma was making the bed, she found that the little boy had collected all the clippings of the Tour de France and athletes. The boy saw a brand new little red bicycle at home, and bike training has become the most important thing in the lives of the grandson and grandson. The Belleville trio are three sisters, performing in clubs and becoming a smash hit, it seems that the two have little to do with each other. The little boy grew up to participate in the Tour de France, but was kidnapped by the mafia in the middle, and his grandmother traveled through mountains and rivers to rescue her grandson. The penniless old man slept under the bridge and beat the rhythm of the music with the reel of his bicycle. As a result, he ran into the three sisters of the beautiful city and decided to carry out a rescue operation together.
The comic-style characters exaggerately express the characters' characters, and the plain life details are expressed in a calm and humorous rhythm. Even that puppy seemed to have a human character. There are some very interesting details in the film, first of all, the performance of New York, the fat Statue of Liberty, the slender and deformed skyscrapers seem to dislike the Yankees, and the arrogance of the French people can be seen everywhere. However, the arrogance of this kind of big France is lovely, because the French are also good at self-deprecating, and the characters in the film all have a prominent French nose; the three sisters in Belleville hunt frogs for food every day, so that they often make a few frog calls; The flattering waiter in the restaurant swayed his snobby waist comically.
These days, the movie theater has released "The Ring of Mobis". I saw the movie channel's report on it. The investment was huge. For this purpose, a class of students was specially recruited. It lasted for 4 years and so on. I thought it must have been carefully crafted. The product, when I got the promotional materials, was still greatly disappointed. If you didn't read the introduction carefully, you would think that this is a Hollywood production. The painters, lines, and 3D are very good, and the technology has been greatly improved, that's all. In fact, "The Ring of Morbis" was a terrible box office.
At this point, the French can really be stinky. They have enough self-confidence not to take Hollywood seriously, although they also face the indiscriminate bombardment of Hollywood blockbusters. Later, I heard the news that the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television did not allow the broadcast of cartoons imported from abroad during the time period, and finally got protection, but if the content is desolate after the protection, this "protection" will become disgusting.
