While Dalí and greek olives might not go together, it would seem that Dalí and Disney go together just fine. Then again, the production time on Destino might suggest otherwise.

Originally started in 1945, this Dalí and Disney animation collaboration wasn’t completed until 2003. Yes, that’s right, 58 years of production for a 6 and a half minute film. To boot, the short was intended to be a piece of Fantasia 2006, a project that was killed just months before release, ensuring Destino would make the rounds solely as art-house fare. Despite 58 years of Disney production and the everlasting popularity of Dalí amongst the college stoner crowd, most people have never heard of it.

Transforming Dalí’s surreal work to a fluid and cohesive animation is ambitious to say the least, so I’ll leave it to you to determine if the end result was worth the wait.
