Dali fever has hit Melbourne with the exhibition Liquid Desire. If you like Dali and want to see some great works by the erratic master, now is the time to do it. You have a couple of months before the show closes on 4 October. We have posted on Dali and his excursions into film and television before but here’s a great one: the recently discovered update of a 1946 project Dali began with Walt Disney. The outcome was to have been a short film called Destino but the project was dropped with only an 18-minute test in the can when Disney ran into financial trouble. It was picked up again by Roy Disney in 1999 to be incorporated into Fantasia 2000. That movie was finished but the Dali/ Disney tale of two tortoises didn’t even make it to the final cut. In the US anyway Destino’s fate was to appear as a short to the animated feature The Triplets of Belleville. Surprising that Disney has allowed this clip to stay on YouTube, so enjoy it while you can. If the link is broken try typing Destino Disney into the YouTube search box
