Prèlude à l'apres-midi d'un faune" - Claude Debussy 57K - 150 dpi

Synopsis

"Allegro non Troppo" is a feature film made up by stories, in which famous classical musical pieces are visualized by means of a modern, ironical and highly qualified animation. Debussy's "Prèlude à l'après-midi d'un faune", Dvorak's "Slavonic Dance N.7", Ravel's "Bolero", Sibelius "Valse Triste", Vivaldi's "Concerto in C-Dur", Stravinsky's "The Firebird" are the six musical pieces which have inspired stories and animated characters. The stories are presented and connected by a live-action story, in which hilarity results from the same comical mechanisms used in usual cartoons, only in this case applied to human chracters and situations. This film technically structured like Walt Disney's famous "Fantasia", is prominent for the original way in which it deals with current social themes and motives, using a modern and up to date style. It's movie for all audiences, whose tematics satisfy adults, whose images fascinate even the very young.
