Conceived and storyboarded together in 1945 by artist Salvador Dali and Disney legend John Hench (Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland), this project was abandoned due to Disney's financial problems during World War II. In 1999, Roy Disney restarted the project with a new team of animators working off of the original storyboards, aided by Hench himself and the journals of Dali's wife. It was finally completed in 2003 and was nominated for an Academy Award.
Destino was originally planned to be a part of Fantasia 2006, but while project was canceled, they completed Destino as a short film. They still haven't released this on DVD yet, so unfortunately we'll have to settle for this bootleg version. The animation still looks stunning even in this quality.
