# The 1945–46 Destino collaboration is held unpublished for decades as a Disney commercial archive object

Date: 1946

## The fact

In 1945–46 [Dalí](/people/salvador-dali) worked with [Disney](/people/walt-disney) artists on Destino, which then sat unreleased for decades.

It is one event.

## Context

Split 2003 release as access.

Salvador Dalí’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death.

Dalí and Disney studio artists worked Destino in 1945–46; the short was not released until 2003. Disney held the industrial archive. He painted; the company sat on the film. Delayed public access is an industrial-capture path.
Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers date the row.

## Evidence and sources

D23’s Disney institutional memory and Fundació film chronology independently describe the 1940s work and the long unreleased interval.

Official or archival record: D23 — The Official Disney Fan Club (https://d23.com/; The Walt Disney Company).

## Significance

A major studio sitting on a finished collaboration is an industrial-access-capture path.

1946 is not 2003.

A major studio sitting on a finished collaboration is an industrial-access-capture path.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 1945–46 Destino work then long non-release. Not established: that Dalí forbade 1946 exhibition.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Salvador Dalí.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date, signatory, or non-occurrence; a demonstrated forgery; or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of other causes.

They are not a public rating.
