Walt Disney and Salvador Dali have an interesting connection, through some time they spent together working on a project called Destino. Its a fascinating story I wanted to share with you after learning more about it at the Dali Museum.
Notes:The Dali Museum is located in St Petersbug Florida. Its a really interesting place with a lot of original work by Dali.
I include some audio clips from the audio tour that was available at the Walt Disney Family Museum. I use them under the Fair Use Doctrine, and my intent is to hilight the relationship between the men and provide some fundamental pieces to help explain and educate.
I hope you will take some time on your next trip to central Florida to head west and visit the museum - particularly while the exhibit is ongoing. It really is quite good!
Here is Destino, as seen on Youtube:
Here's a Spanish newreel of Walt visiting Dali in Spain:
