| 3 | ''Allegretto'' is a [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation 1936]] abstract short (and we mean ''short''--it's only 2 1/2 minutes long) film by German-American abstract animator Oskar Fischinger, with music by Ralph Rainger. The film is a purely visual experience that experiments with abstract animation combined with music, and has absolutely no plot or characters to speak of. |

| 9 | * ColorContrast: The film uses this visual tool as part of its abstract animation vocabularly. |
| 10 | * MeaningfulName: The word Allegretto is a musical term for "at a fairly brisk tempo." or "a movement or piece to be played fairly briskly." The films visuals are built around a soundtrack paced like this. |
| 11 | * MickeyMousing: The movement of the shapes is synchronized with the music. |
| 12 | * {{Minimalism}}: The film is an experiment in abstract animation, being a collection of simplistic animated shapes and colors set to music. |
| 13 | * NoPlotNoProblem: There is no plot or characters and no words other than those in the opening credits, as the film is meant to be a purely abstract visual experience. |
| 14 | * ShortFilm: It's only 2 and a half minutes long. |
