What happens

Destino is a 2003 animated surrealist short film that was originally a collaboration between Walt Disney and Spanish painter Salvador Dalí, and directed by Dominique Monféry. It was produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation. Destino is unique in that its production originally began in 1945 (five years after the release of Fantasia), 58 years before its eventual completion in 2003. The project features music written by Mexican songwriter Armando Domínguez and performed by Mexican singer Dora Luz as the soundtrack. It was included in the Animation Show of Shows in 2003.
