Allegro Non Troppo/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Complete Monster: The Evil Monkey in Bolero who murders animals with sadistic glee as it discovers new uses for the tools it devises. Eventually climaxing into it evolving into a mechanical titan who kills the rest of the animals during the construction of its new city. Why? because the animals were causing a racket making it leave the forest it was born in.

    • God prefers a trial-and-error method with regard to creating life.
    • The knock-down, drag-out fight between the conductor and the animator, while the director tries (and fails) to keep the focus on the orchestra.

  • Nightmare Fuel: The Bolero piece introduces bizarre parodies of life.
  • Tear Jerker: Watch the Valse Triste segment without tearing up. This troper dares you...
    • Lampshaded by everyone in the orchestra and chorus and onlookers bawling their eyes out.
  • Visual Effects of Awesome: Bolero is a masterpiece of Deranged Animation
