The obvious nod to that model fuels many tongue-in-cheek jokes in the film; however, \u003ci\u003eAllegro non Troppo\u003c\/i\u003e soon departs from mere parody, and becomes a showcase for the multifaceted aesthetics of Italian animation in 1976, as well as a witty social satire and a powerful rethinking of the music-image relationship in cinema.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarco Bellano reconstructs the history of the production of \u003ci\u003eAllegro non Troppo\u003c\/i\u003e, on the basis of an original research developed with the contribution of Bozzetto himself; it also presents an audiovisual analysis of the work, as to reassess the international relevance of Bozzetto's achievements by giving insight into the director's creative process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Marco Bellano presents a comprehensive study of Bruno Bozetto's \u003ci\u003eAllegro non Troppo\u003c\/i\u003e, the infamous satire of Disney's \u003ci\u003eFantasia\u003c\/i\u003e and perhaps the most famous of Italian feature animation. Bellano's expertise in music and the director's own insights combine to provide a complete understanding of the film.

His unique multidisciplinary background has given life to an inspiring text where the voice of the self-proclaimed 'eternal amateur' Bruno Bozzetto can be heard throughout. The book also offers a terrific short history of animation production in Italy from its conception to the '70s of \u003ci\u003eAllegro non Troppo\u003c\/i\u003e. In just a few pages Marco manages to capture the joys and tribulations of the artists and artisans who adopted animation as a creative language that allowed them to extend their artistic search beyond the canvas.
