Plot summary

The film is a parody of Disney's Fantasia, though possibly more of a challenge to Fantasia than parody status would imply. In the context of this film, "Allegro non Troppo" means Not So Fast!, an interjection meaning "slow down" or "think before you act" and refers to the film's pessimistic view of Western progress (as opposed to the optimism of Disney's original).

Good

You probably already know that "Allegro non troppo" could be crudely described as an Italian version of "Fantasia". It even begins with a humourous sequence in which the filmmaker, in live action, is interrupted in his introduction of the movie by someone from Walt Disney studios is threatening litigation!They are selling themselves short, though. "Allegro non troppo" is in fact a very different beast, closer to "Pink Floyd The Wall" than the earlier Disney pic. For one thing, it's much more adult in tone, and even gets a bit trippy at moments.I was unimpressed by the first couple of animated sequences, where the animation is poor and doesn't seem to respond to the music in an interesting way. The next ones are much better, especially the one set to Ravel's Bolero, which made the movie for me.Throughout there are live action sequences in black and white showing the zany antics going on behind the scenes. These bits aren't as interesting, or as successful. I wish they'd just let the animation speak for itself.

An Italian movie inspired from Disney's Fantasia, but more adult-oriented.

"Allegro Non Troppo" is truly a great movie. The storyline, although sample and maybe awkward, is very, very funny.Animations are good, too. The second and third ones are my personal favorite, but the finales are good, too! The storyline can be offending and crude, but that's all the point of it : it's like "Fantasia", from Walt Disney, as it said in the beginning of the movie, but actions made by characters are more adult-oriented (i.e. : sexual connotation).Everybody who loves bizarre movies, animations, and stuff like that should love this movie. It is also posing a critical eye over the modern society, one made of consummation and things like that.Definitely, a must-have!
