Destino Trailers

Short film to a song of love lost and rediscovered, a woman sees and undergoes surreal transformations. Her lover's face melts off, she dons a dress from the shadow of a bell and becomes a dandelion, ants crawl out of a hand and become Frenchmen riding bicycles. Not to mention the turtles with faces on their backs that collide to form a ballerina, or the bizarre baseball game.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Disney and Dali collaborated to create the brief surrealist trip known as "Destino", and it seems that this film had some long production history that I'm just not going to get into because it's somewhat irrelevant to my views on the film itself. Whatever the original intentions may have been, whatever technical issues may have occurred throughout the years before this film was finally released...they do not matter nearly as much as the fact that this film is absolutely fantastic!The music, the visuals, the plot less odyssey of ecstasy and passion...it's all perfectly placed and constructed from beginning to end, and it makes for a beautifully experimental experience that has moments of love, moments of moving emotional power and wacky surrealist humor. It's short, sweet, and surreal...a real treat! If one of Dali's most brilliant paintings were to come to life, this is exactly what it'd look like, and was obviously probably somewhat of the film's original intention and, no matter how things may have played out over the years leading up to its eventual release, the final product of "Destino" is a blazing rocket ride round the peaks of imaginative, boundless, unbreakable madness, color, and creativity!

I discovered this wonderful film on a cruise this winter, it was shown by Park West Galleries as part of a seminar. For me it was love at first site and I quickly fell in love with not only the movie but the art work Salvador Dali produced as concepts for it.In the end I purchased a set of seven lithographs that Dali created and to my joy the set came with a copy of the film Destino. I can say that am am undoubtedly a proud owner and love the great addition to my collection.Some have called this film uninteresting, to this I am at a loss for words. to see the brain child of Walt Disney and Salvador Dali come to life is incredible. I admit, children and those who view Dali's work as 'weird' will probably not enjoy this short masterpiece.If you ever get a chance to see the film do not hesitate to do so. Even if you do not like the premise the film is a tribute to the brilliant minds of both Walt and Salvador.

My wife and I accidentally saw this little film as a prelude to The Triplets of Belleville. Having never heard of it before, not being aware it was nominated for awards...nothing, we had no pre-conceived notions about it and were pleasantly surprised. Since we weren't sure what to expect of "The Triplets", and this little cartoon came on first, we thought we were watching Triplets. We felt this was an awesome little cartoon vignette, but couldn't take much more than what we saw. It was truly a visual feast that came close to cerebral cortex overload. We were relieved when we figured out that this wasn't the feature film, but felt that we were treated to something special in addition to the awesome cartoon Triplets of Belleville.

There is no other way to visually match the haunting and lyrical piece, Destino. Utilizing a stunning array of Dali's most iconic pieces, this short tells a very emotional tale. It has left me without words to describe it. Simply, it is beautiful, breath-taking, stunning, and almost lyrical in the fluid change of the figures and icons.The melody will haunt you for days as you struggle to fully grasp this masterpiece.However, it is at times too Fantasia-like, too Disney, and not enough Dali. It can be taken as a superficial composition, but I like to think of it as more, as though Dali knew something that we do not and this short serves to inform us of his secret.
