Allegro Non Troppo (1976)

Description

In a riot of colour and music, master animator Bruno Bozzetto offers his irreverent tribute to Disney's Fantasia. Transcending parody, this erotic, satiric, and delirious animated feature represents Bozzetto's vision of the world. In six distinct episodes, fantastic cartoon creatures march, slither, and bounce to the classical rhythms of Debussy, Dvorak, Ravel, Sibelius, Vivaldi, and Stravinsky. Maurizio Nichetti stars in the equally wild live-action sequences that introduce each piece. For many critics, Allegro Non Troppo matches or surpasses the imagination and technique of Disney's masterpiece.
