I came across the work of Bruno Bozzetto about 5 years ago knowing nothing about him but found his flash animations very funny.
I stumbled on his website bozzetto.com and have seen all his flash cartoons but had just assumed that he was an internet cartoonist for such work as Olympics and my favourite Europe Italy
In fact, as I found out today, he is a 70 year old man who has been an animator for many years with an entry on imdb showing his work to date since 1968. Apparently his film Allegro non troppo is his most well known but is difficult to find
The character that he has become associated with is Signor Rossi:
Allegro non troppo, I’ve heard of that movie. I can’t recall why it was controversial though… 😕
Apologies for neglecting this topic
I believe Allegro non Troppo was compared to Disney’s fantasia in that it combined animation with classical music
Some claim that it is far superior and should not be compared
Ah hell… In my point of view, pretty much anything is better than Disney! 😉
