Destino

Salvador Dali and Walt Disney started a project in 1945, but it wasn't completed until 2003. Really interesting!:
After last week's discovery of Salvador Dalí's little-known 1969 Alice in Wonderland illustrations, I followed the rabbit hole to another confluence of creative culture titans. In 1945, Dalí and Walt Disney embarked upon a formidable collaboration -- to create a six-minute sequence combining animation with live dancers, in the process inventing a new animation technique inspired by Freud's work on the unconscious mind and the hidden images with double meaning. The film, titled Destino, tells the tragic love story of Chronos, the personification of time, who falls in love with a mortal woman as the two float across the surrealist landscapes of Dalí's paintings. The poetic, wordless animation features a score by Mexican composer Armando Dominguez performed by Dora Luz.
