Here is what disney said: There are some rather ambitious plans to release "Destino" on DVD in '07. A feature length documentary on the making of the short is being prepared by a top documentarian and they are working on it as we speak. No firm release date yet, but it is coming. --Don't be suprised if this does not see light till 2008. "ambitious" could mean that 2007 would be rushing the process along, and for something that has been around so long I can't imagine a big push from anyone. Still, I am excited and usually enjoy documentaries, so I guess I would thank Disney for the extra work they put into this dvd.

if you take a look on destino's IMDB page and message board, someone's emailed disney and got a reply that told them they're still making the accompanying documentary, and it'll be out next year, hopefully~

2006.....still waiting on that DVD to be released to the public. Only place I've seen the whole thing was on a cruise ship in the art gallery. Now all I want to do is see it again.

Hot diggity! I've been telling people for over thirty years that Walt Disney and Salvador Dali once tried to make a movie together, and today I am finally justified. I can't wait to see it. The only evidence of Destino I had ever seen before today was in a now-lost 1947 copy of Look magazine that I found in my grandparents' attic. In addition to the article on Dali and his collaboration with Disney, there was a survey of potential Democratic candidates for 1948 which showed Dwight D. Eisenhower doing very well (that's right, Ike was listed as a Democrat), and a full-page ad/endorsement featuring the lovely Helen Twelvetrees, who was evidently the J. Lo of her time. The whole thing seemed like a product of another dimension. But now one of the stories from that old rag turns out to be true. Amazing! Please follow up on this.
