Disney Completes Dali Animation
jbottero writes "Wired News has an interesting piece on a Salvador Dali animation coming out of Disney Studios. It seems that in 1946, Walt Disney and Dali teamed up on a short film called Destino. The film was shelved for money reason, and now, 57 years later, Disney animators has finished what Dali started. The six minute film will be shown in theaters next year before a Disney feature film. The remnants of the aborted film include 150 storyboards, drawings and paintings, which have sat for the last half-century in the Disney vaults. Notably, some of the project was modeled on the animation program Maya. An interesting quote from the article, Dali describes Walt Disney as one of America's greatest surrealists."
i can barely wait for the action figures...
2 1337 4 u!
Otherwise, Disney would've only had another couple decades to finish that movie!
Well aren't you just the king of the 6th grade art class.

going for the "adult" crowd, eh?
Running mod_perl or a PHP compiled into Apache is always a lot faster than CGI, I'm surprised people still use it. Seems to be big in the movie industry though. Can't you compile computer shading languages into Apache?
...is it the second Friday of the month already? I knew there had to be a reason why /. posted a positive story about Disney. Can't wait until Monday when they post the anti-Disney slant to this story :)
when will disney exploit rembrandt? hecks, why not classical music. mozart? bach? oh wait they already do. use copyright/royalty free music, yet extend their copyrights, nice!!! where will it end?

Would the same still be true regarding disney's contemporary political positions?
Thanks, I never would have been able to figure out what the article was about if not for your grammatical diligence.
If whales learn how to use weapons we're all screwed!
That would be cool.
57 years! These people must be on the Duke Nukem: Forever dev team, too.
I hate to burst your modern, surrealistic bubble, but Dali's inspirations came from his dreams, not from drugs. Taking acid to obtain Dali's inspiration is like kicking yourself in the nuts to get as pissed off as George Carlin.
It goes from God, to Jerry, to me.
Oh yes, the famous Dali "Melting Cock".
That's like a minute per decade, almost.
They say the first thing to go is your penis. Well, it's either that or your brain. I forget which...

From the article: "Salvador Dali moved to New York City in 1978. There, he applied and quickly received United States citizenship. Deciding to leave painting aside, he opened a small eatery named Salvador Deli. For the last ten years of his life, he quietly made soups and sandwiches, but did sell an occasional sketch if business was slow."

Yeah, but who was that dude who sketched all those fucked-up stairways?

"The film was shelved for money reason"
Are you sure that is wasn't shelved because Dali was crazier than a shithouse rat? Even by 1947 standards.

You mean the dude that painted the soup cans?
Wake me up when Disney starts collaborating with H. R. Giger.
Raw creativity? I hear that in Massachusetts, they now have to put a warning at the bottom of the paint that reads something like: "This creativity is raw, partially raw or creatively structured per order. Consuming them may increase your risk of mental illness.""
Sorry, but if you're a "superfan" you probably would have at least seen one of his movies. You're simply a fan.
The movie would have been done on time, except the clocks kept melting. Thanks, I'll be here all week!
So nice to have you back where you belong.
