Line 2: [[File:Allegro_non_Troppo_LOW_6029.jpg\|frame]] '''''Allegro Non Troppo''''' ([[Incredibly Lame Pun\|but there are tropes]]) is an Italian animated film functioning as a parody of Disney's ''[[Fantasia]]''. Like ''Fantasia'', ''Allegro Non Troppo'' melds classical music with animation, the sequences ranging from [[Intoxication Ensues\|utterly bizarre]] to [[Tear Jerker\|depressing beyond belief]]. Between the pieces are short, sepia-tone, live-action shots of the orchestra and the animator. Pieces played in the film are: * ''Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune'' by Claude Debussy--A parody of Beethoven's Pastorale from ''Fantasia'', where an elderly faun tries to get a nymph for himself, but fails every time. * ''Slavonic Dance No. 7 Op. 46'' by Antonín Dvořák -A caveman sets out to build better dwellings than the other cavemen, who repeatedly mimic every act he does. Line 9: * ''Concerto in C major for 2 Oboes, 2 Clarinets, Strings and Continuo RV 559 I. Larghetto - (Allegro)'' by Antonio Vivaldi--A bee tries to enjoy a meal on a flower only to have a rowdy couple thwart her attempts. * ''The Firebird'' by Igor Stravinsky--God makes Adam and Eve and the serpent tries to get them to eat the apple of knowledge. When they refuse, the serpent eats it himself and is thrown into a hellish environment of Western materialism and commercialism. {{tropelist}}▼ ▲{{tropelist}} * [[Affectionate Parody]]: Despite needling Disney, this movie does a great job of capturing ''Fantasia''{{'}}s flavor. * [[Alternate Continuity]]: Ever wonder what would happen if Adam and Eve didn't eat that apple? * [[Barbie Doll Anatomy]]: Averted. Since it's a European film, it's not afraid to show some nudity. * [[Black Eyes of Evil]]: The monkey in Bolero. * [[Big Damn ~~Hero Moment~~Heroes]]: Though it's more [[True Neutral]] as it is done during the march of evolution, a sauropod creature saves an aquatic life form from being eaten by a squid life form. * [[Breather Episode]]: You'll be glad for the lighthearted piece with the bee after "Valse Triste". * [[Deliberately Monochrome]] * [[Deranged Animation]]: The ''Firebird'' sequence is this, without a doubt. * [[Downer Ending]]: Especially Bolero * [[Everything's Better ~~With~~with Monkeys]]: {{spoiler\|[[Inverted Trope\|Inverted]] in the second half of ''Boléro'', where a demonic monkey species slowly grows in dominance and eventually kills off the rest of the species.}} * [[Family-Unfriendly Death]] * [[Fauns and Satyrs]] Line 36: ** In-universe example: After seeing the conductor torment the animator for three full segments, is it any wonder that the man {{spoiler\|actually the evil monkey}} at the end of ''Boléro'' so strongly resembles him? * [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]] * [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made Onon Drugs?]] {{reflist}} Line 44: [[Category:Allegro Non Troppo]] [[Category:Western Animation]] [[Category:Western Animation of the 1970s]] [[Category:Film]]
