7.2Short film to a song of love lost and rediscovered, a woman sees and undergoes surreal transformations. Her lover's face melts off, she dons a dress from the shadow of a bell and becomes a dandelion, ants crawl out of a hand and become Frenchmen riding bicycles. Not to mention the turtles with faces on their backs that collide to form a ballerina, or the bizarre baseball game.

== History == Destino (Spanish for 'Destiny') was storyboarded by Disney studio artist John Hench and artist Salvador Dalí for eight months in late 1945 and 1946, but production ceased not long after. Walt Disney Studios (later The Walt Disney Company) was in financial difficulty in the World War II era. Hench compiled a short animation test of about 17 seconds in the hopes of rekindling Disney's interest in the project, but the production was no longer deemed financially viable and put on indefinite hiatus.
