Both Disney and Dalí’s boyhood imaginations encouraged their lives, careers, and legacies to be paralleled on a profound level. Through the exhibit we gain a deeper understanding of the lives and artistic prominence of the Surrealist and the dreamer. It's amazing how alike these two innovators were in their never-ending quest to broaden the horizons of art and blur the line between reality and dreams.
