[font=Arial]The story is, many moons ago, Salvador Dalie, Walter Disney, and Roy Disney worked on an animation together. Only 20 seconds of film was ever produced, but, just over one year ago, the film was finished from the storyboards.[/font]

Salvador / Disney Animation
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Re: Salvador / Disney Animation
Freaky and cool at the same time. I knew Dali and Walt had attempted a collaboration at one time, but I'd never seen anything from it. Thanks for sharing this.

Re: Salvador / Disney Animation
The odd thing for me is that it doesn't have the "Disney touch" to it - if the names weren't in the credits, I would never believe anyone from the Disney family had anything to do with the production.
I didn't know that Disney worked with "outsiders" - this makes me wonder if there are any more videos out there that were not completed.

WOW! Very Avantgarde. Maybe a little too 'heavy' for the main-stream Disney movie goer.

Re: Salvador / Disney Animation
Well, I heard the music, got a little animation with this Windows 98 OS, but I can see elements of both Dali and Disney in this. Shame I was robbed of the whole experience with this old computer. My brother is a Dali freak; he has Mom's laptop, so maybe I'll send him this.

Re: Salvador / Disney Animation
In 1945 Salvador Dali and Walt Disney sat down together and dropped LSD... This proves it.
Beautiful though.

flat visions of misty places,
fragments bound below my surface,

they flow from me,
inscribed but now unbound,
I touch them,
and they are real,

Re: Salvador / Disney Animation
Now that was a great short. I wonder were there any other shorts story-boarded between the two of them created and are they still locked up in the animation vault.
Re: Salvador / Disney Animation
On what little I did see, though, I noticed something that showed the Disney influence--the sculpture of the guy on the pyramid very obviously has been "modified", if you catch my drift. I mean, when Disney was making Fantasia, he told his animators there were to be no nipples on the male centaurs in the "Afternoon of a Faun" segment. Funny how it was okay by him for the little cupid to moon the audience at the end of that segment, until his buttocks turn into a heart.
And if you know anything about Salvador Dali--he didn't need to drop acid to do what he did. Seriously, if he wasn't an artist, he would've been in a strait jacket inside a padded room somewhere.

We were very lucky to see it while onboard our most recent cruise. It was cool, although I think my degree-in-fine-arts wife got more out of it than I did. At one point you see two faces coming together to make a ballerina

Those two faces are Dali and Disney.
