This paper intends to be the beginning of a new research project on animation about cinema and the dialogue of languages in its creation process. In this first discussion, the objective is to understand the path that leads to the encounter between Walt Disney and Salvador Dalí, and the complex discussion to adapt the surrealist paintings into a short film called “Destino”, whose production was canceled in 1946 and later resumed and completed in 2010. The methodology used was the bibliographical and filmic research. This is a descriptive and comparative analysis based on authors who work on film and animation subjects. The result is a work that carries with it the transformations of time and subjective interpretations of the beginning of the 21st century.
