Dali meets Disney: Destino
I saw "The Triplets of Belleville" the other day...and they showed the short film "Destino" before it. "Destino" is a piece started by Walt Disney & Salvador Dali for inclusion in the "Fantasia" movies...but was abandoned when the first "Fantasia" movie was not financially successful. (There is a brief reference to it in the "Fantasia 2000" movie)
Recently, Roy Disney decided to finish this project. It is really amazing to see.
See some footage:
You can view some short video clips online, linked from an article at npr.org.
You know, it would be really cool if a bunch of Flash folks online did animation projects to classical music, and we could string them all together in a Fantasia sort of way online. Like we all have the free time to do that kind of thing...
