Her lover's face melts off, she dons a dress from the shadow of a bell and becomes a dandelion, ants crawl out of a hand and become Frenchmen riding bicycles. Not to mention the turtles with faces on their backs that collide to form a ballerina, or the bizarre baseball game. From the melting clocks and hourglass sand, to the figure rendered in strips, to the character covered in eyeballs, the style and themes of Dalí are clearly recognizable throughout.

Critic Reviews
-
Bob Longino, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
An often-astonishing film of great beauty and bizarre visuals paired with a provocative love song.
-
Lou Lumenick, New York Post
A dazzling, six-minute animated short that itself is well worth the price of admission.
-
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle
It is an amazing document, made more noteworthy by the near total absence of the sentiment, predictability and homogenization we associate with Disney cartoons.
-
Ed Gonzalez, Slant Magazine
This short is so good it propelled someone at the screening I attended to say, 'I would hate to be the film that follows this.'
-
Anita Schmaltz, Metro Times (Detroit, MI)
This is a taste of classic Disney, a crooning, twisting song sung to the eyes, a vacation from rational thoughts.
