Destino

Destino is a short film that was originally created by Walt Disney and Salvador Dalí in 1946. It wasn't completed until 2003, 58 years after originally being put into production. The reason it wasn't completed in 1946 was because Walt Disney was all about quality, and money was short due to World War II. Only fifteen seconds of the footage was created before the film production was shut down and forgotten by most.

In 2003, Roy Disney (Walt's brother) was inspired to finish the film after completing Fantasia/2000. Destino finally got a chance to show the world its beauty and art.

You may be wondering, Hannah, why do we care about forgotten Disney short films? I think the answer is simple. It was a short that Walt Disney worked on, therefore it is very much a part of the Disney legacy. I think the forgotten stuff should be recognised. That theme of remembrance will carry out to a post I'll be working on featuring my favorite rabbit, Oswald. I'll finally discuss why I love that little guy so much.

Now, without further adieu, I present to you, Destino:

And here are the lyrics:

Now I can smile and say
Destino
My heart was sad and lonely
In knowing that you only
Could bring my love to me

Destino
This heart of mine is thrilled now
My empty arms are filled now
As they were meant to be

For you came along
Out of a dream I recall
Yes you came along
To answer my call

I know now
That you are my destino
We'll be as one for we know
Our destiny of love.

Yeah, I know, it's sappy. I love it though, I think it's a masterpiece.
Don't stop believin',
