Walt Disney had been compiling short features for a theatrical release when in 1945 the concept of a collaboration between Walt Disney and Salvador Dali begun to evolve. “Destino” is the name of a Mexican ballad Disney had envisioned as a vehicle for a musical short film project. Dali was attracted to Destino’s title and the concept of destiny attracting two lovers. In 1946, Dali began working at the Disney Studio every day. 20 seconds of film, various paintings, drawings, and short storyboards were compiled after 8 months of work. In 1947, the Destino project was put on hold it wasn’t until 1999 that Roy Disney, Walt Disney’s nephew, can inspired to finish “Destino”.
When Destino was finally unveiled, it was nominated for Best Short Film (Animated) at the 76th Annual Academy in 2003.
I have a Certificate of Authenticity and an appraisal ($3900.00) for this great piece of Abstract Art.
