They found themselves and between incomprehensible drinks and talks, a hopeful idea was born, but unlikely: a Surrealist short film With children's dyes. In this way, the Spanish contacted Armando Domínguez, Mexican composer, to use «Destiny», a musical piece of authorship that perfectly wrote the story that the painter had in mind. Meanwhile, Disney recruited the best of his animators, John Henh to give image to his friend's ideas. The short film was not a simple party talk, it was a promising, large and, above all, unique project.
After the acclaimed celebration, Disney wrote a letter to Spanish so that he would give him an autograph and place it in his wide collection, but then invited him to his studies in Los Angeles in order to Destination It became a reality. Dalí would visit Alfred Hitchcock, Disney had an appointment agreed with the Marx brothers. Let's imagine, then, how were the minds of the two … yes, full of ideas influenced by other greats of the industry and with a thousand concepts overflowing the cerebral hemispheres.
The encounter between Catalan and the American resulted in a fabulous dumbbell that was understood and flattered from each other. However, l The creative differences began were presented From the beginning. That did not prevent the project from being carried out and it was impossible not to think about a mixture between Snow White (Disney's first feature film) and A Chien Andalou (Luis Buñuel's spring opera in which Dalí has great interference). What a great combination was going to witness the world.
But not everything was as beautiful as they imagined. Disney was going through a rather critical economic moment. World War II was finishing and the economy did not flow as before. Dalí, I didn't believe in money «At least not in those years,» and put many ideas that are not easy to realize. Thus, with 70 thousand dollars spent, more than 200 storyboards and the adapted song, the project stopped without prior notice. Creative differences were emphasized. Dalí insisted on including Baseball players in the plot and Disney no longer found it. Dalí wanted to add minutes and Disney did not have the resources. Dalí modified the story and Disney maintained it.
