A short story by Salvador Dalí and Walt Disney.

Conceived 58 years, in 1945, close to 60 years before it was released. It tells a story of a haunting romance between Dahlia, a mortal woman struggling to find love, and Chronos, an all-powerful titan and the personification of time itself. The story is set to a love ballad composed by Fantasia composer Armando Dominguez.

I like the contrast between Dalí and Disney’s reflections on the story:

As Dalí explained to the press at the time, the animation was “a magical exposition of the problem of life in the labyrinth of time”, while Disney attempted to tone down his art-speak, describing it as “just a simple story of a girl in search of her real love.”
