Summary:
Master animator Bruno Bozzetto offers his irreverent tribute to Disney's Fantasia. Transcending parody, this erotic, satiric, and delirious animated film featuring six classical music pieces represents Bozzetto's vision of the world. Humorous live action scenes of the animator and an elderly all-women orchestra led by a lively conductor are interspersed with the animated shorts.
