In Canada, in 1997 he made his first animated film. The Old Lady and the Pigeons. Excited by successes and awards at the renowned film festival in Annecy, a BAFTA award and Oscar nomination he began work on his feature-length animated film debut. „The Triplets of Belleville,“ 2003, was celebrated and brought Chomet two more Oscar nominations, for best animated film and best song.
