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!
