CALENDAR If Up was a story of an elderly man having grand adventures, then The Triplets of Belleville is its slightly stranger counterpart, fea- turing an elderly woman in her quest to rescue her grandson from mafi a henchmen. The third in a series of cartoons for adults at Wil- lamalane, this movie isn’t necessarily for kids: It was the fi rst PG-13 movie to be nominated for an Academy Award in the category of Best Animated Feature. Generally described as quirky, richly animated and charming, The Triplets of Belleville is just the sort of surreal cartoon to watch on a drizzly Wednesday afternoon. The Triplets of Belleville shows 1pm Wednesday, Feb. 26, at Willamalane Adult Activities Center, 207 W. C St., Spfd.
