Remember when Salvador Dali and Walt Disney collaborated to create an idea for a surrealist animated movie?
No?
Destino.
We took a field trip to LACMA (L.A. County Museum of Art) to see the Dali exhibit and I must say, seeing Destino astounded me more than seeing The Persistence of Memory or The Metamorphosis of Narcissus in person. Surprisingly, there wasn't much of a crowd around either painting.
Dali and Disney admired each other's work, and their meeting at a dinner party in 1945 inspired the idea for collaboration. Although, the film was abandoned in 1946 due to the economic problems created by WWII, Dali's storyboards, sketches, and paintings were saved. Work began on Destino in May 2001 and in June 2003, "Destino" premiered at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival. From IMDB.
I cannot wait until it's released to the public. Even though I saw the whole (six minutes and forty seconds) movie, I cannot wait to own it.
