Allegro non troppo (1h 20min)
"Allegro non troppo is a Bruno Bozzetto animated film released in 1977. The film is a parody of Disney's Fantasia, though possibly more of a challenge to Fantasia than parody status would imply. In music, an instruction of "allegro ma non troppo" means to play "fast, but not overly so". In the context of this film, and without the "ma", it means Not So Fast!, an interjection meaning "slow down" or "think before you act" and refers to the film's pessimistic view of Western progress (as opposed to the optimism of Disney's original).
The film features six classical pieces:
Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune by Claude Debussy
Slavonic Dance No. 7 by Antonín Dvořák
Boléro by Maurice Ravel
Valse Triste by Jean Sibelius
Concerto in C Major by Antonio Vivaldi
The Firebird by Igor Stravinsky
The classical pieces are set to color animation, ranging from comedy to deep tragedy. At the beginning, in between the animation, and at the end is black and white live action film, displaying the (well, not the actual) animator, orchestra, conductor, and filmmaker, with many humorous scenes about the (again, not actual) production of the film."

Finally, additional props to sometimes for posting the sad cat segment of this intriguing movie.
Nora, The Piano-Playing Cat
Ludwig Van Beethoven isn't dead after all. Nora is his reincarnation. A little rusty but given time those whiskers are nimble and agile fingers. Piano Concerto No.5 will have it's day once again.

That video was really great!!!! I know of a competition (very good exposure) that you might want to enter it in. Contact me (at my website) for more info. I produced the John Williams Clarinet Concerto for John and his Clarinetist. My website is http://www.mytempo.com (contact info is there). I was also the top Artist Webpromoter for the old mp3.com website when they were paying their artists a combined $1 Million a month for downloads.
