Salvador Dali inspired Disney animation… cool.

This is pretty amazing stuff… I love how the Dali inspired art comes to life. 

Plot:

To a song of love lost and rediscovered, a woman sees and undergoes surreal transformations. Her lover's face melts off, she dons a dress from the shadow of a bell and becomes a dandelion, ants crawl out of a hand and become Frenchmen riding bicycles. Not to mention the turtles with faces on their backs that collide to form a ballerina, or the bizarre baseball game. From the melting clocks and hourglass sand, to the figure rendered in strips, to the character covered in eyeballs, the style and themes of Dalí are clearly recognizable throughout.

This person said it best on IMDB:

“The Dali fan will find countless images from his paintings, brought to life and presented in a graceful, dreamlike world. Images meld one into another in a way that Dali was not able to utilize in still art. He might give the *impression* of transformation, but in Destino, you see it come to pass. It is an airy cruise through melancholy, romance, and longing. For me it was most thought-provoking, but not heavy or depressing. Definitely recommended!”  -http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0377770/

My only complaint is the music.  I feel that this would have served as a better soundtrack:

I may take on the project of merging these two sometime… In the meantime, here is a rare photo of Salvador Dali:

MASH-UPS: the new cover songs. I love love love em!

So I have been in love with mash-ups for quite a few years now.  There are so many mash-up artists/DJ’s out there right now, some well known and some not so well known.  I wanted to collect some of the one’s that really “get me” every time they come up in the random mix/shuffle I listen to at work.  So here you are, dear readers, Wurm’s compendium of some of the best mash-ups that the intranets has to offer IMO.  I would love any feedback from you people out there on what mash-ups I may have left out, or what your favorites are.  Please feel free to shoot me links or comment on this thread with your links to sites or blogs or videos.  I dig em, I surehope you do…

Great googley moogley, thanks for reminding me about this classic gem, Dan!
