Apparently this is quite old…and the original beginnings of this animation go waaaaay back, but like many other treasures online, their popularity fades in and out and it wasn’t until today that I stumbled upon this timeless gem of a video.
Back around 1946, Surrealist Spanish painter Salvador Dalí and American animator Walt Disney formed a friendship and joined forces to create a short animated film called “Destino“. About 18 seconds of the animation were completed before Disney and its partner, RKO decided it probably wouldn’t make any money thus leaving it unfinished. In 1999, Walt’s nephew Roy took the original sketches and storyboards and reconstructed the entire short. The result is pure magic and magnificence. I’d be lying if I said I had any idea what it was about apart from the whole “love story” bit, but come now, it’s Salvador Dalí. Would you expect anything else? : )
Wishing you a very happy weekend,
