Ah, yes! I've been waiting to see that. I'll certainly buy it on DVD whenever I can find it.

Dali did consider Disney one of America's great surrealists. He felt the same about the Marx Brothers.

In a lot of ways Walt and the early animators for Warner and Fleischer were the heirs to Windsor Mackay's work, which is strongly surrealist in tone, and often in approach as well.

A lot of the Warner Bros. stuff has a strong surrealist bent.

Duck Amuck

Porky in Wackyland

What's Opera Doc?

and lots of others.

Not to mention all of the Road Runner series.

Which I'm sure Tolkien would have hated if he had only known about it.
