Destino

This week I chose to share a video I came across on Facebook. This short film tells the story of Chronos, the personification of time and the inability to realize his desire to love for a mortal. What really captured my attention were the creators of this film. The film was originally a collaboration between Walt Disney and Salvador Dali that started in 1945. The production of the film stopped due to the financial struggle at the time during the WWII era. In 1999 Roy Disney unearthed the project while working on Fantasia 2000. Twenty-five animators deciphered Dali's storyboards and finished the animation in 2003. 

This film really has both of the qualities of theses brilliant artists. It had such a predominant story and hopeful feeling but had such abstract features which just made everything feel so magical.
