He is kidnapped by nefarious forces, and his relatives (grandmother Madame Sousa, dog Bruno, and others) to save him.The film sounds like a lot of fun, but I don't know if it has been picked up for distribution in the USA. I hope it has; I'd like to see it! <

Good news, Andrew. It has been picked up for US release and will be in art house theaters soon under the title _The Triplets of Belleville_.
