this breaks my heart.
it's also a million times better than the campy swill that disney puts out.

Disney just ain't Disney without Disney.

"It's" is a contraction of "it is", not a possessive; "Its" is a possessive.

Anyone who thinks Disney only put out campy swill needs to rewatch some Disney classics.

I had been lurking on videosift for months since I found this. Now I get to vote it up. I'm surprised it doesn't have more votes, really. It is truly emotional and beautiful... and haunting.

Why not in the * Catsanddogs channel?

Beautiful animation set to some beautiful music. The background score is Sibelius’ “Sad Walz.” Reminds me of another animated short that used the same score:

Have you ever seen such sad eyes? Poor melancholy kitty.

Okay... this is the last time, I SWEAR. Someone suggested this channel change, so here goes...

Ok, this is bumming me out. So sad. I was about to say "talk about living in the past" when it turned out in the end that it was literally living in the past. Very sad.

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.

*shortfilms
It's part of a bigger 85 minute film but this part can be seen as a short film.

Extraordinarily beautiful. Great sift.

OMG I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOREVER. It was playing on a screen at a rave I went to when I was 15 or 16 and I never knew what it was. I remembered scenes and I wanted to see it again so badly! Thank u for posting it

That's pretty cool. I know it's the type of thing where most people don't really feel your elation satisfactorily, but I can totally appreciate the sentiment.
