Italy's response to the Disney classical music/animation hybrid "Fantasia," this film features a series of cartoon shorts set to the likes of Claude Debussy, Joseph-Maurice Ravel and Antonio Vivaldi. The animated segments feature both the humorous and fantastical: an aged satyr attempts to regain its lost youth, a bee is interrupted mid-meal by two lovers, the myth of Adam and Eve is retold and more. In between cartoons, a filmmaker (Maurizio Nichetti) struggles to complete the film.

Time Out Overall very amiable, quirky fun. Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Nell Minow Movie Mom Fantasia with a sense of irony. Rated: 4/5 Aug 1, 2002 Full Review Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader It's not only a hilarious send-up of Disney's excesses but a splendid cartoon feature in its own right -- funny and imaginative and lively. Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Chase Burns The Stranger (Seattle, WA) I fell in love with this movie then fell asleep at 3 AM watching its bonus features. I'm sad it took me so long to learn about director/animator Bruno Bozzetto. Jan 11, 2022 Full Review Rachel Wagner Rachel's Reviews (YouTube) The animation is really creative and very beautiful in its own way. Rated: 6/10 Feb 13, 2019 Full Review Dale Pollock Santa Cruz Sentinel Bozzetto's work may never collect the tremendous audience that Fantasia has accumulated in its 30-year history, but that isn't because it's any less of a film.

James M Okay so to make a bonkers animated film set to music we need the following ingredients: 1. The idea of Fantasia. 2. The comedy stylings of Monty Python. 3. The weirdness of Yellow Submarine. 4. A genius in the animation legend of Bruno Bozzetto. And 5. The nudity you could find in a Ralph Bakshi film! These things together should not work, but they all blend perfectly to make one of the most insanely enjoyable animated films I have ever seen. In just the live action segments you have an old lady orchestra, an irrate conductor, an animator held against his will, a gorilla on the loose, and an mc attempting to hold everything together. In the animated segments you could go from something funny with Slavonic Dance to crying with Valse triste. This is a wonderful export from Italy that is definitely worth your time to view. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/17/23 Full Review Courtney K ehh; this was an interesting watch, but i don't know that it's as good as everyone is saying. i quite liked a few of the animations but it's impossible not to compare it to Disney's Fantasia - 9 our of every other 10 reviews do - & this is just not up to that same caliber. i also wasn't particularly a fan of the in-between live-action sequences either; i would've rather just gone from one animation to the other. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/21/23 Full Review John M Bruno Bozzetto Allegro non Troppo was a Masterpiece of Parody of Walt Disney's Fantasia A Movies Films With All Comes Animation Colors With laughter Comes in's all Shape and Sizes Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/15/22 Full Review nefasto r Take that Mr Bisney! Well, ok, this weird production is not "Fantasia", and even for me at parts it's too weird, but there are also lovely artistic moments in it. (Not even close to "VIP, mio fratello superuomo, though.) Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Has NOTHING to do with Fantasia (which Blobbo NEVER liked - even as a kid at the show with Poppa Blob.) 5 blobs up!
