To me, this movie is perfection.

SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Best movie ever!

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Normally, when I review a film, like everyone else, I give it a rating. However, occasionally I have come upon experimental films so unusual and so non-commercial that doing so would be impossible...and this is definitely the case with "Destino". It's a very surreal film based on story boards designed by Salvador Dali and so it's NOT the sort of thing the average viewer would enjoy...and it coming from Disney must have come as a real surprise to those who have seen it. It seems that back in the 1940s, Walt Disney and Dali wanted to collaborate and a few seconds of film were actually animated. But the project was abandoned and only recently did Disney's nephew, Roy, discover the film and commissioned a team of artists to complete the animated short. It's well animated but odd in every possible way and a film best seen and heard instead of describing. Well worth seeing if you don't mind experimental artsy films.

But no. It has two problems, and in a short film where the only important thing it's the visual style and how it looks (the animation style), this film isn't good enough.OK, the visual style it's really cool, because you know, Dali style. Whatever, it doesn't success in the same way in the animation, being sometimes fluid and smooth, and others just rear too look at, and not in a good way. It looks like a transition between a photo and one of those in which an image fades slowly to result in the other, and this doesn't match at all. Besides that, it look awful.The other problem with the animation it's the use of CGI, when the movie will be far better only with a traditional style, or at least being just in 2D.In the end, nothing really interesting, maybe if you're a fan of Salvador Dali.

This short was nominated for an Academy Award for Animated Short. There will be spoilers ahead: This is the latter-day result of an unlikely collaboration between Salvador Dali and Walt Disney begun in the 1940s and ultimately set aside and forgotten until rediscovered by Roy Disney and completed almost 60 years later.It's impossible to mistake this as anything but a collaboration between Dali and Disney. While it reminds one of Fantasia, it's likely that the short would have disappeared without a trace had it been completed as originally scheduled. If anything, it's even more esoteric and artistically inclined than Fantasia and Fantasia was widely seen as a flop. As a short it would have set the studio back far less financially than Fantasia did as a feature, but Disney was already starting to have trouble making back the costs of its shorts because Walt Disney had such high expectations from even his shorts. That financial pressure was part of what put this in mothballs in the first place.It would have been interesting to see what the Disney studios would have made of this in the late 1940s-early 1950s. As it is now, this looks for all the world like a series of Dali paintings brought to life and set in motion. Half melted objects, a likeness or two of Dali and other Dali trademarks given the Disney touch make this a fascinating curiosity and the quality of the backgrounds and character designs is magnificent.This is available on the Blu-Ray release of Fantasia 2000 and looks beautiful, particularly in HD. There's also a feature length documentary on the project on the same disc which I haven't seen but which looks to be very good itself. Well worth watching. Most recommended.

What a wonderful surprise to see such a delightful short! Beautiful graphics and very creative story development. The singing was emotional but unintelligible (to me).
