Allegro non troppo Page #2

Synopsis: An enthusiastic filmmaker thinks he's come up with a totally original idea: animation set to classical music! When he is informed that some American named "Prisney" (or something) has already done it, he decides to do his own version, using an orchestra comprising mostly old ladies and an animator he's kept locked in a dungeon. Several different classical pieces are animated, while the animator plots his escape.

Slavic Dance N.7 by Dvorak...

A great piece of French-Mexican-American

jaz with that famous Bolero soul;

Folks, this tomali's a hot one!

Take a hot, festy Louisiana Bayou father

with a spicy Mexican mama...

and what have you got folks?

Ravelita, Raquelita pouring her heart

out in the great Bolero Soul tradition.

Yes folks, make no mistake about it: Raquel

in Bolero is a hot numberthe world over

it's got the germans drooling

Der Bolero ist so gut...

over a few pints at the local bierhaus;

and the French dreaming away with

Les Bolero-o-o, Les Bolero, Les Bolerou

at cafes all across France,

steppin' to the Bolero sound...

and from the U.S. of A,

we've just heard that the millionth copy of

the LP Rolling', Ravelin', Raquelin' Bro

has been sold in Sunny Burbank to

young feelin' and thinkin' 85-year old

Grandma Luella Perkins...

A great success! A grat piece...

and as they say:

A touch of Bolero keeps you alive

and alle-groo-ou!

We're not here to stuff our faces

But what's the monkey got to do

with it now?

Well, I... there is no big monkey.

I don't see any monkees in the set.

There are other animals... but

I don't see a single monkey.

That big monkey looks like

a young man that

I met once in 1912 beforthe big war.

Nowadays men like him are

not seen anymore.

It's snowing in the theatre,

a very bad sign...

Leave it, leave it...

I don't believe it, but what's he doing

be careful, you are breaking him.

The old bags are all upset...

who can control them now?

Oh I knew it, my eye is twitching when

I get nervous my eye starts twitching

always the same thing,

Bruno Bozzetto

Bruno Bozzetto (born 3 March 1938 in Milan, Italy) is an Italian cartoon animator, creator of many short pieces, mainly of a political or satirical nature. He created his first animated short "Tapum! the weapons' story" in 1958 at the age of 20. His most famous character, a hapless little man named "Signor Rossi" (Mr. Rossi), has been featured in many animated shorts as well as starring in three feature films: Mr. Rossi Looks for Happiness (1976), Mr. Rossi's Dreams (1977), and Mr. Rossi's Vacation (1977). In 1965, Bozzetto produced his first feature-length animated film: West and Soda, a parody of American Western films. In 1968, Bozzetto released VIP my Brother Superman, a superhero spin-off. However, his best-known work is probably the 1976 feature film Allegro Non Troppo, a collection of short pieces set to classical music in the manner of Walt Disney's Fantasia, but more humorous in nature, economical in execution and with more sophisticated narrative themes. After a long break, Bozzetto produced a live-action film in 1987, Under the Chinese Restaurant, his last feature film work until assisting on the pilot for Mammuk (2002), an animated film set in prehistoric times (now being produced by Rai Cinema and The Animation Band). 1990 saw the release of Grasshoppers (Cavallette), which was an Academy Award nominee for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film. In 1995, he produced an animated short for Hanna-Barbera/Cartoon Network Studios' What a Cartoon! series entitled Help? and in 1996, in cooperation with RAI and with the support of Cartoon (Media Programme of the European Union), he created The Spaghetti Family a 26-episode cartoon television series. In recent years, Bozzetto has turned the animation from traditional cel to flash cartoons, most notably with the award-winning Europe and Italy, a witty and graphically elegant commentary on European vs. Italian sociocultural attributes. This comic also inspired the creation of the Polandball meme. more…
