The animation in Allegro non troppo (1976) perfectly captures the spirit of the music that it animates. The Evolution sequence set to `Bolero' is particularly effective. The magical effect of the movie is repeatedly broken by sequences of a very bad old women band. What was intended as a parody of Fantasia's interludes with its orchestra, merely comes across as a very annoying distraction. Allegro non troppo (1976) would have been a much better film without this frame.
