I took my son to a visiting Dali exhibit at our local museum several years ago. Simply jaw-dropping. My son was only 5 or 6 at the time, but the art really spoke to him. He still talks about it.

I'll bet he inherited some sort of artistic talent. Anyone in your family have stuff like that? You know, like Bert's chalk drawings in Mary Poppins?

Another Dali movie is a short made by Walt Disney!
From Wikipedia:
Destino is an animated short film released in 2003 by The Walt Disney Company. Destino is unique in that its production originally began in 1945, 58 years before its eventual completion. The project was originally a collaboration between Walt Disney and Spanish Surrealist painter Salvador Dal??, and features music written by Mexican songwriter Armando Dominguez and performed by Dora Luz.
It can be found on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzIH9lOaPFE
It was originally created for the first (abandoned) new version of Fantasia that was planned to be released in 1948 or 1949.

Neither of my children has ever traveled to an alternate, animated reality (that I'm aware of), but there is this one guy in our family who is really talented and used to create all kinds of art, but I don't think he does it much anymore. I hear he's a pretty awesome writer, though. Maybe he's still doing that.

Hey, I know that guy! Actually he is still doing artsy stuff, but with a computer now. Like, just yesterday he wanted a jpeg of the cover for Arther C. Clark's book, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, but he didn't like what was available online. This was about the best he could find.
Not too good, eh?
So he found a copy of the original artword and pasted a cleaned up version of the title above it. Like this.
Better. But he thought all that neat stuff below the rocket ought to be more extensive. So he expanded it down a little and to the sides. This was the finished product.
That's sort of artsy stuff, right?
