Allegro Non Troppo

Clip from Allegro Non Troppo by Bruno Bozzetto

Often described as the anti-Fantasia, Bozzeto's 1976 animated film takes a stab at the famous movie, substituting Disney's characters with surreal and nightmarish creatures. In the segment above, primordial ooze slips out of a glass bottle and eventually transforms into a city ripe with "intelligent" life, to the tune of Ravel's Boléro. Note the symbolic shuttle launch in the opening sequence.
