Allegro non troppo Page #3

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.

the Valzer Triste by Sibelius...

if you don't do it right I'll nail you

to the wall. On the wall. Remember.

Bravo... what feeling...

well done

we can't go on like this

the musical pieces are all too sad,

that idiot doesn't know what humour is.

I'll nail to the wall,

I'll make him rot in chains.

Calm down... relax, relax... calm down,

we too have our wrongs,

we know the artist needs a certain kind of

crowd in which to express himself.

Frankly it isn't that we, with the girls,

there, did not give them the ideal...

- Bullshit, you can't dictate Art

- hang on, I've got an idea...

suppose we... were able to find

him a woman so that...

they can stay together...

in orderto...

to create. That's would be allright.

I know a girl... hang on,

I'm coming right away. Hang on...

Hey there my dear artist how fare thee eh.

Come here. You seem a little exhausted...

why not look for some fun.

Come with me.

I know this quiet spot, come...

good get in here.

Eh eh...

YOU understood exactly what

the problems is. It's a boy you'll see...

It will be easy like drinking a glass of water.

You get into the piano and then...

the rest will come.

Quick, Quick, Quick...

Hallo everybody

Our bad orchestra, the big piano

and our artist. I recommend...

try to help him.

Hey shall I come... or not

Get ready forthe next number,

I think it's going to be a spicy one.

A Vivaldi concerto.

Aren't you laying it on a bit thick?

Yes, yes perhaps, o.k.

enough for now,

yes yes, let's go...

let's go...

These old pianos there're some

inconveniences. Unfortunately you know

when you go inside but you don't know

when you'll come out...

If you don't start to make

me laugh I swear

I'll turn you inside out and

skin you like a cat!

But yes, can't you see,

now he turns his face over.

I hope so. On the contrary

I'll change it...

Yes of course, he is happier now.

Much happier, look at his eye

- I tear his eye...

- Noo...

you will see the next number will be

wonderful, get ready. The curtain falls.

The curtain falls.

[Laughing]

Help... Help...

I'll show you. I take that piano player

and I throw her on your head

and I'll break all your bloody bones now.

Nothing, Nothing has happened,

just a minor misunderstanding,

some minor insignificant.

Leave her! I said nothing has...

get out of the way, away with that minor.

Minor misunderstanding,

nothing, nothing, nothing has happened!

The next one is one of the

most famous pieces

the well-known Stravinsky's Firebird...

Stravinsky's Bird, Stravinsky.

Silence! A really famous piece

composed by Stravinsky as he walked

the wild woods at the foot of

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…
