Dali wrote in 1937, “I have come to Hollywood and am in contact with three great American Surrealists—the Marx Brothers, Cecil B. DeMille, and Walt Disney.” About that time Walt Disney and Salvador Dali became mutual admirers. Dali provided sketches to Disney that were used later as the basis of the Disney cartoon Destino, which is often shown at Dali17 and is available on youtube. More of the story of the relationship of Dali and Disney over time was related in an 2015 exhibition Disney and Dali, Architects of the Imagination, at the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco and in 2016 at the Dali Museum, St. Petersburg. A description of the exhibition and some of the exhibitions’ graphics are shown in the subject link. A Huffington Post article about the exhibition provides more of Dali’s work.
