It's a shame, I am sure Target would loved to have done a deal with Dali if they could have...But at least Graves has done some nice little Mickey Mouse accessories for the chain...Sorry to sound bitter but I am...On a positive note though, hopefully we all will get a chance to see this short film....

It has an Italian publishing house logo on it, and the whole opening section is all about the Dali/Disney partner ship. Pretty interesting stuff. The book is also remarkable in that in continually mixes up the names of Goofy and Pluto. Odd book that was a Christmas gift in the early 1970s.
