(the largest) Private Art Collection, Las Vegas, Nevada "Walt Disney had been compiling short features for theatrical release and in 1945 the concept of a collaboration between Walt Disney and Salvador Dali began to evolve. Destino is the name of a Mexican ballad Disney had envisioned as a vehicle for a musical short film project. Dali was attracted to Destino's title and concept of destiny attracting two lovers and in 1946 Dali began working at the Disney Studio everyday. After eight months, twenty seconds of film, various paintings, drawings and storyboards were completed. In 1947 the Destino project was put on hold and it wasn't until 1999 that Roy Disney, Walt Disney's nephew, became inspired to finish Destino. When Destino was finally unveiled, it was nominated for Best Short Film (Animated) at the 76th Annual Academy Awards in 2003." (Notes from Park West Gallery Certificate) Collectors Editions published limited-edition etchings, lithographs, and serigraphs based on Dalí's original paintings and storyboards for Destino.
