One-off late '90s comedy special from a cast full of up and coming comic actors and comedians.
The story begins with tired eyed freak rocker Danny Feedback facing upheaval: His life’s work, including priceless family heirloom instruments, like his one of a kind transparent luminescent guitar, have disappeared via an overnight heist. Unlike a typical breaking and entering, this crime is fueled by a personal vendetta which is evident by the ransacked music studio, and shrapnel from a couple destroyed artifacts that were obviously left behind to “send a message”.

The film is a parody of Disney's Fantasia, though possibly more of a challenge to Fantasia than parody status would imply. In the context of this film, "Allegro non Troppo" means Not So Fast!, an interjection meaning "slow down" or "think before you act" and refers to the film's pessimistic view of Western progress (as opposed to the optimism of Disney's original).
