In 1981 Hanna Barbera had come up with the idea of an animated TV special for ABC titled Rock Odyssey. The film would be shelved (most likely due to its violent and graphic imagery) until the mid-1980s when the project would resume production. The film would feature many popular songs at that time by such artists as Jerry Lewis, The Beatles, and Wham!, which were all being covered by their own singers. The film, narrated by a jukebox voiced by Scatman Crothers, tells the story of Laura who’s searching for true love through the four decades of 20th century rock.

Huge thanks to jericod007 for finding this and to Notelu for the restoration work, I believe this is the highest quality copy of this film available for now, it never had any official releases, not even on VHS.
And this was called the FANTASIA of rock n’ roll? :/ (Ralph Bakshi’s AMERICAN POP deserved that title IMO)
Still, I’m glad I watched this
Allegro Non Troppo is closer to Fantasia 2.0 (even moreso than Fantasia 2000!)
