Allegro Non Troppo

7.4 | 1h25m | NR | en | Fantasy

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).

Reviews

Joseph Sylvers Fantasia for adults.Fantasia for adults who like seventies animation, and don't mind some Italian sub-titles.Worth the time only if your interested in animation. It's themes and images are much more adult than "Fantasia", and it's tone more ironic and risqué, in a mild self mocking way.Allegro Non Troppo, does have it's beautiful sequences, obviously the musics good (Stravinksky again), and a few times one of the live action moments may have even cracked a smile on my face. But this is a difficult film to find, and though I enjoyed it, was more effort than it was worth.

xredgarnetx TROPPO is a corrective to Disney's FANTASIA, a dark satire from Italy that even cattily refers to the Disney classic. I am not sure what inspired the filmmakers to churn out a Disney spoof so many years after the fact (FANTASIA was first released in the 1940s, TROPPO in 1977), but TROPPO is great fun for adult audiences. Among other episodes, a horny faun lustily pursues naked young maidens to the strains of Debussy and sludge at the bottom of a liquor bottle evolves into some pretty nasty lifeforms to the strains of Stravinsky. The live action interludes are far less interesting, shot in black and white and badly dubbed and acted, although the actress playing the mute scrubwoman is breathtaking.

sol- An undisguised parody on 'Fantasia', the film is nowhere near on the same level but it has enough interesting elements of its own to be satisfying viewing. It is a mix of live action orchestra (filmed in washed out black and white) and vibrant colour animation. The live action sequences are fascinating at times, especially when animation is mixed in. However, the silly slapstick nature of the live action parts is a stark contrast against the animation, and this sometimes hurts the film's flow. As for the animated sequences, some of them are quite adult, with sexual allusions and animated nudity. The animation is, like in 'Fantasia', fitted around classical music, and while in some cases the drawings fit the tunes quite well, more often that not, the cartoons seem independent of the music. In this regard the film does not work as well as Disney's original, and overall it is more interesting as an experiment rather than anything else. It is worth a look - if not quite unique, it certainly is not mundane.

ellerby-1 I first saw "Allegro non troppo" in a cinema on it's release and have watched it since whenever it appears on TV. The choice of music and the contrast of the grainy B&W film with the animator's coloured cartoon efforts make for a wonderfully crafted film. I was so impressed by Allegro that I had always wanted a top quality commercial copy so I considered buying the VHS tape when it became available but waited 'til a more stable technology was available. As it has not been on sale at any DVD shops I have finally bitten the bullet and ordered a copy. It has been a long wait(nearly 30 years) but well worth it.The internal comparisons with Disney's Fantasia, which I also have, parodying the constant US remakes such as The Bird Cage for La Cage, The Good the bad for Seven samurai etc. The music is all great, a better mix than in Fantasia. The Bolero will always remind me of Allegro and the monkey rather than "10" and Bo.
