Quasimodo, Yes - in fact Disney Studios did the film sequence. Also, somewhere in their archives buried are drawings by Dali for a full-length animated film at Disney. Eventually they are believed to perhaps finish it and market, maybe at Epcot Center, who knows. Let's hope they do. I will have to look into it for the details, but isn't it interesting?
Yes, several people besides you, said to see "Pan's Labarynth" - I intend to.

Aren't you confuising the dream sequence with a Dali cartoon produced by Walt Disney? I'm not trying to be annoying, heh. Just curious.
Pan's Labyrinth was the best film of 2006, (Del Toro is mexican by the way). I didn't think it had much to do with Dali, but anyway. If you want to see more of his stuff watch The Devil's Backbone. His other films are less interesting.

Hey Janine....yes, I see what you mean (wink, wink)
The last film I saw was Shrek the Third...it was funny...for adults really, not for children. I give it a 3/5
The next movie I'm planning to watch is Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End...

OMG I never knew this. And now I am very hopeful that they will indeed pursue this. Dali is my ultimate favorite artist. Thanks for this information, Janine.Originally Posted by Janine

HiKiz, how are you? Yes, indeed he did and really there is something about him working on an animation through the Disney studios, that is still in their archives. My friend, from Japan, an avid fan of Dali, did the research and I can attest to seeing the paintings live in the museum last year. They are really awesome. After the exhibit I have to say he is my favorite or at least one of my favorite artists. His work is extraordinary. I had to see the exhibit not once but twice....wonderful!OMG I never knew this. And now I am very hopeful that they will indeed pursue this. Dali is my ultimate favorite artist. Thanks for this information, Janine.
Have you mastered you P&P soundtrack sheet music yet? I was going to get the CD and a friend offered to send it to me. Now my computer is not working well and I need a new one so I am holding off till then. If you find out more about Dali and the dream sequence please post in here and share with all of us. Lots of Dali fans on Lit Net.
Take care, Kiz ~ Janine

Hi Malwethien, I just saw that - POC - I laughed and laughed. It is like Jurasic Park, Indiana Jones, Monty Python, all thrown in a giant potpouri. Really crazy film this time. It is quite entertaining. JD is something else! He is very cool hiding out in the tribe. Love his war paint.Hey Janine....yes, I see what you mean (wink, wink)

I have never seen any of the Shrek films - are they good?

Mark, Are you being funny? or joking, or something? Because I am serious about this. Dali planned a whole animated feature film with Walt Disney Studios. It is buried somewhere in their archives and it is projected it may be completed and marketed. I can look into more details for you. The dream sequence is by Dali and was also produced by Walt Disney Studios. It says it in the movie credits. At the show in Philadelphia the paintings were labeled clearly as such, plus I was wearing earphones (guided tour) and there was considerable narration concerning the dream sequence. I think they also may have mentioned the other film that had not been completed. You could probably google it or look up on Wikepedia if you don't believe me.
It is on my list of films to see in the near future. I have heard of "The Devil's Backbone". I really like Del Toro so if he is in both I am totally interested. Again, are you being funny referring to Dali. What does Dali have to do with Labyrinth...you have lost me here....Pan's Labyrinth was the best film of 2006, (Del Toro is mexican by the way). I didn't think it had much to do with Dali, but anyway. If you want to see more of his stuff watch The Devil's Backbone. His other films are less interesting.

Another one by Almodovar. This time it was "Live Flesh" 8/10 (i am forming a more favourable opinion about his movies).
Janine i am with you regarding "Notorious". I also liked the film very much. It may not be my fav Hitchcock film (fav being "The Birds" and "North by Northwest") but i like it still. It is natural that opinions should differ, concerning films and perhaps Mark speaks more about the techical aspects of the film (which personally i don't understand, being but a simple viewer and not an expert ). As for the dream sequence in Spellbound, i agree that it is made by Dali. I have biographies for both Hitchcock and Dali and both books refer to their co-operation in this movie.
Sin noticias de dios (2001)
I'm not too sure what the english title would be for sure, but it's either Don't tempt me or No news from God. I've found both...
Anyway, directed by Agustin Yanes, with Penelope Cruz and Victoria Abril as two angels, one from hell and one from heaven trying to get the soul of a failed boxer still on earth, by orders of the 'managers' of the two other worlds.
Great performances from Gael Garcia Bernal as the guy who manages hell in a limousine without air conditioning and speaks english and Fanny Ardant as the woman who manages heaven and is french. It's a nice comedy told in all three languages, french, english and spanish.
7.5/10
Transamerica (2005) directed by Duncan Tucker
A transexual, Bree, is very close to having her final operation but is informed of his/hers son's existance and has to meet him. I found it quite sad in some parts but it is a good film which I don't think got the attention it really needed.
7/10
The Departed (2006) directed by Martin Scorsese
Amid the multiple blood baths I really enjoyed the plot and Jack Nicholson as the 'bad guy'. Didn't expect the end though....
7.5/10

Not joking, I know Dali made an animated film produced by Walt Disney, and it was released last year or a year and a half ago with restored footage and all. I didn't check it out cause I'm not a huge fan of Dali's films "L'Age d'or" and "Un Chien andalou", but I'm pretty sure you can find it somewhere.Mark, Are you being funny? or joking, or something?

I was just wondering cause I don't really see why Walt Disney would have produced a part of a Selznick production. I was surprised and thought you might have mixed them up is all. I'll take your word.
I wasn't comparing Del Toro to Dali, but somebody else said Pan's Labyrinth was Daliesque in a post.

Getting bored has nothing to do with the technical aspects of film, heh. Just opinions, I didn't like Notorious but The Birds and North by Northwest also happen to be my favourites, even if they're corny as Janine correctly pointed out.
Again, I wasn't disagreeing on the fact that Dali designed the dream sequence, I was just surprised by the fact it was produced by Disney. Personnaly I don't like the dream sequence, but I'm not a Dali fan. I know Hitchcock wanted to use Dali's artistry because of the very sharp light that's omnipresent in his paintings which corresponds to the kind of light that supposedly illuminates our dreams.

This was released in 2004, so you can see how up to date I am... Saw it on TV a couple of months ago, and although it is not the most recent film that I have seen, it is the one that made the most impact. Christian Bale plays an insomniac lathe worker, I know sounds really fascinating, but it is the most strangely compelling movie. Evidently he lost over 60lbs to play the part of the emaciated Trevor. Anyway, I'll never make a film critic, so have added the link below. They definitely tell it better.

I saw Hitchcock's Marnie not all that long ago, and while somewhat "dated" it is still one I like. I think my favorite Hitchcock is probably Vertigo though.
I recognize this writing style....Christian Bale plays an insomniac lathe worker, I know sounds really fascinating, but it is the most strangely compelling movie. Evidently he lost over 60lbs to play the part of the emaciated Trevor. Anyway, I'll never make a film critic, so have added the link below. They definitely tell it better.Even before I received your PM, I wondered if this was the person I thought it was.
Welcome onboard, Haven.The movie sounds (reads?) interesting.
