'''''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.

* [[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
* [[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
* [[
* [[Family
* [[Fauns and Satyrs]]
* [[From Nobody to Nightmare]]: The evil monkey starts off as a confused inhabitant of the forest, who later leaves with the rest of the animals. Bitter about it, the monkey starts off as a [[Jerkass]] whose purpose is to frighten the other animals during the march. However as it discovers the use of tools, it becomes more [[Moral Event Horizon|vile as it begins murdering other animals in order to take their place in the line of evolution]] and [[For the Evulz|begins to burn animals to death with sickening delight after discovering fire]] and by the finale (through leaping ahead of the line by a long shot) the monkey has become a [[Complete Monster]] {{spoiler|by killing all the animals in the construction of its new civilization as it admires its work, now fully evolved into a towering giant admiring its work...the creature known as Man}}

* [[Hilarity Ensues]]
* [[Intoxication Ensues]]
* [[
* [[Panspermia]]: Spoofed on "Boléro". Apparently, the primordial soup was actually Coke.
* [[Public Domain Soundtrack]]
Line 37 ⟶ 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
