Allegro non troppo
Directed by Bruno Bozzetto
An enterprising producer believes he has hit upon a winning concept: a program of original animated shorts set to classical music. Undeterred by warnings that this has already been done by an American named 'Prisney,' he rallies an orchestra of geriatric women, a bullish conductor, and an animator that he keeps locked in the dungeon. What could go wrong? From TMDB

Critics, per Wikipedia
Allegro non troppo holds a 90% "Fresh" rating at Rotten Tomatoes based on 20 reviews. Film journalist Phil Hall wrote that the Valse triste sequence was "genuinely heartbreaking" and "one of the most beautiful [sequences] in animation history." Janet Maslin of The New York Times said "His [Bozzetto’s] movie is full of clashing colors and incongruous styles, with characters inspired by anything from Keane paintings to herbal shampoo commercials. The best that can be said for such a mélange is that it is genuinely exhausting." Allegro non troppo was given a Critics' Referendum Prize at the Yellow Kid Awards in Lucca in 1976.

unlabelledView post →Allegro Non Troppo is a film that deserves so much more attention and respect. Equals parts genuinely funny send-up to Fantasia and a uniquely zany, more adult spin on the same concept. The Boléro sequence is basically equivalent to Fantasia's Rite of Spring and nearly as epic.

A digitally restored version was made this year by GKIDS. This long neglected film needs a wider release. gkids.com/films/allegr... youtu.be/5pgANtzO2G4
unlabelledView post →Man, I haven't seen ALLEGRO NON TROPPO in years. I think I need to fix that. Incidentally, while the film good naturedly mocks Disney's FANTASIA (1940), by all accounts Disney animators loved it and held it in high regard. youtu.be/8X54mKLsaD4
unlabelledView post →What's especially bizarre about your review getting blocked everywhere is that the DVD has long been out-of-print (in Region 1, anyway) and it's not streaming anywhere and yet, when you search "Allegro Non Troppo" on YouTube, the first result is an upload of the entire movie. So why block it?

Then we followed that up with some great tacos next door. Quite the enjoyable Saturday. #Filmsky

unlabelledView post →Allegro Non Troppo (1976) The second best Fantasia movie and it's not even made by Disney. Equal parts a love letter and a parody of the film, it manages to stand on par with the original classic with some beautiful animated segments and some fun slapstick comedy in between. 9/10
