"Destino" is a short film produced by Disney and written by the Spanish painter Salvador Dali, featuring music by the mexican songwriter Armando Dominguez, performed by the singer Dora Luz. The extremely rich team (In cultural terms) made a beautiful animated masterpiece and changed the conventions of cinema, therefore, it is one of the best animated productions in history.

Walt Disney with his own hands made the storyboard 58 years before the release date in June 2, 2003.

The seven-minutes short film tells us the history about "Chronos" and his dangerous love for a mortal human named "Dahlia". In the film, Dahlia walks and dances around many places inspired in the Dali's paintings. One of the most curious things about the film is that there is no dialogue, and the music, the atmosphere and the corporal expression of Dahlia tell the history.

I saw this film in my 5th semester in university, we saw "Destino" and we extracted the scenes that in our perspective were the best. Moreover, we talked about the film and all its symbolism.

Note: In the next chapter of this series I'm going to be telling you about the meanings and the symbolism of this short film
