Allegro non troppo

Allegro non troppo is a movie with actors and animation. Bruno Bozzetto directed it in 1976. Although it could be similar to other films with music and animation, such as both Disney’s Fantasia one and two, there are a lot of differences. Bruno Bozzetto is one of the best directors of animation in Europe ever. He has produced a lot of movies, short movies, advertising a TV series as Signor Rossi. He is so prolific that he is already making movies in Flash and 3D.

This film beggins with an actors story in a theatre, where a showman, not really well informed, presents the diferent animation shorts. On stage, we can see two sets. One of them, an old ladies orquestra directed by an ill-manered conductor. The other set consist of a drawman who tries to accomplish the impossible task of penciling the whole movie at real time and a young ladie who cleans the stage. This odd story is a prelude to the musical numbers.La película consta de siete números musicales animados
There are seven animated shorts:
Claude Debussy’s Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun
Antonín Dvořák’s Slavic Dance number 7
Maurice Ravel’s Bolero
Jean Sibelius’ Valse Triste
Antonio Vivaldi’ Concert in C
Igor Stravinsky’s Fire Bird
And and ending acurate for this movie.
Not much to buy in DVD. Only this pack with three movies and a documentary of Bozzetto’s work.
