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."
Dali was acutally Spanish, not American. That's like Gates moving to Germany and becoming German.
A blog like any other.
one of America's greatest surrealists.
Hmmm, that's hardly much of an achievement. Can anyone name any good American surrealist? Dali was probably taking the piss.
"Let me explain. /pause/ No, there is not enough time. Let me sum up."
/., where we don't ever read long expl...
Give the guy a break. The melting clocks are probably the best known and most recognizable feature of Dali, and this *is*
And anyway, if you're going to criticize, at least get the quote right!
I'd like to imagine that whoever had this daunting task would have enough existing material to copy the style.
And as far as the acid comment...

Ah, who cares? Dali and Disney are both dead. The people that should get paid are the ones that did something to this artwork recently.
Yeah, I'm one of those 14-year copyright wackos. Feel free to ignore.
There are no trails. There are no trees out here.
I agree with you; I'm a 14-year (or until death, whichever comes first) copyright wacko as well. I don't believe CR should last past the life of the author, and 14 years is plenty. A second 14 year term is too much, IMHO (yes, the founding fathers went overboard). I was merely pointing out that Dali and Walt Disney started this project together as co-authors, and Walt's family will be prospering from it, while Dali's most likely won't.
Stupid people make stupid things profitable.
Magritte vs Dali is Apples vs Oranges.
