Many thanks to Monica for pointing this one out! In 1945, Walt Disney began production on Destino. To this day, it's unclear as to why exactly the children's cartoon giant chose to later collaborate with the Spanish surrealist Salvador Dali in 1946. The project itself was never actually completed by the two; financial difficulties suffered by the animation studios during World War II forced Disney and Dali to put the project away.
Fortunately, the project was resurrected in 2003 with the help of some of the original Disney staff. We can expect a DVD release in 2010, along with a documentary detailing the short film's development from concept through storyboard to the finish. So...mark that on your calendars.
Finally, I get some credit.
