[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]

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.

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. :o:

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.

Dali's art, Disney's animation. Beautiful and lyrical.

In 1945 Salvador Dali and Walt Disney sat down together and dropped LSD... This proves it.

Beautiful though.

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.

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.
