Lorenzo This is it: the short that Disney refuses to release. Around a decade ago, Disney employees unearth a pair of films that were put in hiatus during World War II. One was Destino, a film that marked a collaboration between Disney and Salvador Dali. The other was Lorenzo. Destino was completed first and released in 2003. Lorenzo came out a year later, attached to the mediocre Kate Hudson film Raising Helen. It was loved by the animation critics, many of whom predicted it would go on to win the Oscar. In the end, it lost. I assume that Disney was so ashamed by the shorts failure to win the Oscar that they cursed it and banished it to the furthest reaches of its vaults, where it can join fellow Oscar loser Redux Riding Hood in wasting away. Its quite a pity, since Disney had left a short trailer on YouTube so they can taunt animation fans like me that skipped out on Raising Helen. The film, about a proud cat in love with his big furry tail that comes to life, looks incredible. Its got stylish backgrounds and character design that give the film a nightmarish quality. And nightmare is a good word to describe the film, as Lorenzo is a nightmare not only for the main character, but for animation fans like me who just might go to the grave without ever seeing it leave its Disney-sanctioned purgatory. Where Can I Watch It? Please let me know. Ill pay you money!
