'Destino' is a short film created by Walt Disney and Salvador Dali.
"The film tells a story of Chronos, the personification of time and the inability to realize his desire to love for a mortal. (...) The scenes blend a series of surreal paintings of Dali with dancing and metamorphosis. (...) The work of painter Salvador Dali was to prepare a six-minute sequence combining animation with live dancers and special effects (...). Dali in the studio working on The Disney characters are fighting against time, the giant sundial that emerges from the great stone face of Jupiter and that determines the fate of all human novels. Dali and Hench were creating a new animation technique, the cinematic equivalent of 'paranoid critique' of Dali. Method inspired by the work of Freud on the subconscious and the inclusion of hidden and double images. (...) The plot of the film was described by Dali as a magical display of the problem of life in the labyrinth of time. Walt Disney said it was a simple story about a young girl in search of true love." (in video description)
When I saw it for the first time I thought it was such a sad story. Now I think it's encouraging and optimistic. Well, it can be interpreted in any way you want. That's the beauty. What I also love about this film: everything. Characters (this young green-eyed, black hair lady is gorgeous), metamorphosis, music, incorporated paintings.
Talking about paintings, here are my Dali's favourites:
