Allegro Non Troppo - dvd

4x3 / DD2
Allegro Non Troppo is an incredibly imaginative and hilarious parody of Disney's classic Fantasia. It transcends the genre of parody to become a delightful and beautiful film in its own right, and one of the high points in the history of animation. It's Italian creator, Bruno Bozzetto, is one of the most original and talented animators working today. He is widely known for his brilliant shorts Opera and Self Service. Allegro Non Troppo presents six animated sequences in riotous colour set to classical music. It maintains throughout an outstanding level of imagination, humour and technical excellence. As in Fantasia, the animation is linked together with live action scenes...but instead of Stokowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra, Allegro Non Troppo features a Felliniesque of old women directed by a mad, boorish conductor and a harassed animator (played by Maurizio Nichetti).
