Destino

[wayens]

Salvador Dali and Walt Disney, a mix most might not think of, yet in a way is like peanut butter and chocolate: Two great tastes that work well together. Dali's artistic sensibilities are stylishly compatible with Disney's imagination and in the hand of the Disney animators, this collaborative vision called Destino is brought to surrealistic life

Hey! You're still alive ;D
I love "Destino." Even with a couple of places where I thought the animation was allowed to get a little slap-dash/sloppy...I think it's my favorite Disney short. And of course it would be the Disney Paris Studio that did this...By which I mean, there's something that struck me as very different about the atmosphere in this piece (not just the fact that it was Disney + Dali), and I wonder if it was the European influence.

hey! Sorry, been on Facebook all this time. Destino really struck a chord though to make me find a venue to write again. And I agree that Disney Paris has its own distinct flavor that's hard to describe but easily felt, European or not. One sense I feel is Paris is less frenetic with its animation. Less jerk more flow. So if you look at Tarzan, it has action but there's more fluidity to the action. What do you think?

...ah...Facebook...known to suck up gratuitous amounts of time of those who venture upon it...;)...Actually, I'm not really on facebook much, really, though I have a friend who's pretty much always on it...playing some kind of aquarium game... I don't think I have you friended on it though? :O

I don't really know enough about Disney Paris' output, I think, to make any real comments--although I do know they also did the "Runaway Brain" Mickey Mouse short--which I do remember as having a very intersting flowing, fluid quality to the animation--as in, enough flowing feeling that it would stick out as an interesting/different quality of the short.

well I've been avoiding those aquarium, farm, and mafia games ;p Didn't really catch my interest and decided not to give them that chance. >) Though an RPG game impressed me enough to play a couple of hours. Assistance can even be asked from friends list. ;) If a mind to, friend up!

Ah, Runaway Brain, one of my favorite Mickey shorts. Need to see if it ever got released for home video! Neat that it was Paris who animated it. You're right, it is more fluid than past ones from the ol' Burbank studios.
