Disney took a cue from Dali and slipped a surrealist montage into Dumbo

Dali exhibit is up at the MOMA. Fantasia and a surrealism-inspired short is playing at the MOMA tomorrow, Friday, July 25, 2pm. If you miss it, you can still catch Dali’s 1929 film Un Chien Andalou. Don’t miss the beginning - the famous shot happens in the first minute of the film.

The MOMA is doing a month-long tribute to the Coen Brothers. All their great films, except unfortunately O Brother Where Art Thou .
