Dalí and Disney

• October 11, 2003
• In 1946, Salvador Dali and Walt Disney planned a
  cartoon together. But the short subject Destino
  was left unfinished after Disney and its partner,
  RKO, decided it probably wouldn't make any money.
• But as David D'Arcy reports, Walt Disney
  regretted the decision. And Disney's nephew Roy
  Disney, who now heads the company's animation
  division, decided to revive the project.
• Destino is a six-minute film set to a Spanish
  song, devoid of dialogue and without a clear
  story line. It follows a dark-eyed ballerina on a
  journey among strange objects through a desert
  landscape in a dreamlike atmosphere.
• A completed version will appear at festivals
  around the world before Oscar-nomination time,
  and Disney plans to release it next year on a DVD
  with a documentary that tells the whole story.
