Allegro non troppo // Animation Club

Dir. Bruno Bozzetto / 1976 / 85 min.

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? A gleeful sendup of Disney’s Fantasia, Allegro Non Tropo blends live-action slapstick with cheeky animation for a film as joyful and raunchy as it is thoughtful and cutting.

'ANIMATION CLUB' is an ongoing series that celebrates new and classic animated films from around the world! From studio titans to hidden indie gems; traditional 2D to stop-motion, 3D animation, experimental, and everything in-between!
