“Triplettes of Bellville” is in the broom wagon and “Nasu: Summer in Andalusia” and “Nasu: Japanese Cup” have broken away in an attempt to win the yellow jersey for cycling cartoon movies – no really. I just found out about these two and have not seen them so of course the above statement is just to get your attention – though to be honest once the training section of Triplettes is over I do find the rest of the movie pretty dull. This is what Wiki has to say about the plot for “Summer”

Nasu: Summer in Andalusia follows the story of a professional Spanish cyclist, Pepe Benengeli, as he competes in the Vuelta a España road bicycle race through his home town in the Iberian region of Andalusia. As the story progresses, Pepe is faced with frustrating consequences, with him facing pressure from his sponsors and the wedding of his former girlfriend, Carmen, to his elder brother, Angel, coinciding on the same day of the penultimate stage of the bicycle race, and strives to gain the respect of his team and family.

“Japanese Cup” the sequel is set during the Japanese Cup Race…

If you can find these to view in the US let me know.

PS: Nasu may mean eggplant!
