A stunning tribute to the lifelong friendship and collaboration of Salvador Dali and Walt Disney. In 1945, the two began working on a project together, intended to be a short animated film called Destino. Dali partnered with Disney Legend John Hench to storyboard the film, but production was brought to a halt because of financial difficulties. Over fifty years later, Walt's nephew Roy E. Disney decided to give it new life. The film went on to be nominated for an Academy Award in 2004 . This volume showcases all 150 pieces of art created by Dali and Hench. Also, the sole piece of animation art that was filmed in 1946 is showcased in a series of images explaining how it was digitally cut apart, restored and then reassembled for the 2003 completed film version.
Focusing on Disney's early animation, this engaging volume explores the origins of Walt Disney's first major success and the efforts to recover lost films. It appeals to enthusiasts of Disney history, early cinema, and the charming character of a feisty little rabbit, offering a detailed narrative that uncovers the significance of these early works in animation history.
