Like all brilliant animation this one appeals
to all ages. Madame Souza has a grandson called
Champion — not the most sporty of boys but he
loves his tricycle. Grandmother sees an opportunity
and trains Champion to compete in the Tour De
France. Will he make it? Will he win? This is
a wonderfully inventive and stylish piece of animation
with a twisted and sophisticated plot and one
dazzling set piece after another. A handcrafted
labour of love with astonishing attention to detail
and richness of content. A pure delight from beginning
to end. What is the French for ‘Don’t miss it’?
