French Toast We fell in love with The Triplets of Belleville—that
magical, musical, almost-wordless animated French film—when it was
nominated for multiple Oscars in 2004. So we’re eagerly anticipating The Illusionist. Much of the creative team that brough us Belleville,
including director Sylvain Chomet, reunites to breathe life into this
project—originally conceived by late French film legend Jacques Tati.
It’s about a not-particularly-successful magician, modeled after Tati,
who goes in search of places to perform until he meets a
girl who changes his life.
