Allegro Non Troppo

Allegro Non Troppo (1976) animated. Italian answer to Disney's "Fantasia" is mediocre at best. One or two of the animated segments stand out, but mostly the animation is not very good, and the live segments in between are just plain stupid. Music by Debussy, Dvorak, Ravel, Vivaldi and Stravinsky, among others, is illustrated by Italian animators with uneven results. The live segments are in black and white, in Italian with English subtitles. The truth is I found the movie profoundly soporific, and I slept through half of it and had to go back and re-view it. I enjoyed the nap. Grade: B-
