Documentary on Salvador Dalí and Walt Disney's Collaboration Now on YouTube
A 90-minute documentary detailing the historic collaboration between Salvador Dalí and Walt Disney is now available on YouTube. The two met at a party in 1944 and soon began working on an animated film, but the project was abandoned in 1945 due to lack of funds, leaving only 17 seconds of animation. Decades later, Walt's nephew Roy Edward Disney rediscovered the footage and preparatory sketches while working on Fantasia 2000, and decided to complete the film.
