Destino (2003)
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.

hyped garbage
To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
I first time find out for Dali when I was 10,I was in gallery full of his paintings.I was pretty confused because I habituate on pictures I know what they mean.So,it was my first touch with abstract art. And today,I see animated film full of Dali imaginary.I was lost for words.In the first hand i was confused,from first scene,but positive confused.Confused just like when I watched the pictures.I can not tell for sure what is film about.It is like poetic song,everybody see it in another way.There is some nudity in film so,it is for adults.I can tell the film is dramatic and beautifully animated.I will never forgot it. It is worth to see. 10/10
A fascinating, atypical short from Disney.Words are not enough to describe the breathtaking beauty from this animation, which explores in a whimsical, totally dream-like way several themes and motifs displayed by the art works done by Salvador Dalí. If "Fantasia" was able to turn music into animation, "Destino" turns both the music and the animation into poetry, reaching a level of lyricism that hardly could be achieved by other kind of format."Destino" is the kind of short that cannot be described, it must be seen to understand what makes this so great. "Destino" is another proof of the possibilities that the animated medium have, being able to express wonderfully the most abstract concepts into a visual format, the most poetical way that somebody could imagine.A must-see.
What a delightful combination- a hauntingly sweet song paired with Dali inspired animation. I found the animation to be more old-style Disney, not like the cookie-cutter cartoons more recently produced. It was flowing and lyric, a perfect accompaniment to the music. The Dali fan will find countless images from his paintings, brought to life and presented in a graceful, dreamlike world. Images meld one into another in a way that Dali was not able to utilize in still art. He might give the *impression* of transformation, but in Destino, you see it come to pass.It is an airy cruise through melancholy, romance, and longing. For me it was most thought-provoking, but not heavy or depressing. Definitely recommended!
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.
