The idea of Walt Disney and the #surrealist Salvador Dalí working together seems absurd at first. But they did attempt to create an animated film together in 1945/46 - named 'Destino' - which fell through, and for years, only a few sketches survived. #MuseumsUnlocked 1/
One storyboard test was produced, in addition to a few sketches, and from that, Roy Disney worked with Dalí experts, Dalí's widow and the original storyboard artist, to bring 'Destino' to life in 2003 as a short animated film. https://vimeo.com/178818145 . The end of the story? 2/
No. In 2015, art conservationist Ron Barbagallo was able to locate the full set of Dalí sketches for 'Destino' and from that, he was able to produce the full narrative of the film, as originally intended by the artist himself, 70 years later. http://animationartconservation.com/salvador-dali-s-destino-lost%2c-found-and-restored.html 3/
