Finally saw it on DVD! Verdict: kicks ass.
For those of you who don't know what it's about, it's a French animated film (a SPECTACULARLY ANIMATED film) about a Tour de France cyclist named Champion, who is kidnapped by the French mafia and spirited over the ocean to the megalopolis of Belleville, where he and two other cyclists have wine pumped into their bloodstream via an IV(ino) and have bets put on them in odd fake cycling races. Champion's grandma Madame Souza and his dog Bruno follow him to Belleville and, with the aid of three jazz-era divas (the titular Triplets), they set off to find Champion and return to France.
It's super super awesome. I especially like the Triplets' Stompesque musical routines, and the low-speed GO FRENCH MAFIA, GO GO FRENCH MAFIA, YOU'RE A DEMON ON WHEELS car chase at the end. XDD I wish the movie didn't just...stop...at the end though.

EEEE!
I read about that, and have been dying to see it, but I can't find it, stranded as I am in the rural Oz-land I begrudgingly call "Home"...
I'll have to look harder, if it's as good as you say.
