I would say a strange OR disturbing point of view because I don't find surrealism to be all disturbing. Strange is a term that i think can easily be applied to most of it. I find a lot of surrealist work very beautiful - like a strange yet calming dream. That's the connection with the unconscious that surrealism is making. I think some of us have more violent dreams than others - dreams that probably come out of our sub-conscious.

To add in a Disney element - beyond the obvious Disney/Dali Destino collaboration - Thru the Mirror is wonderfully surrealist and it could be argued that The Scorcer's Apprentice has elements of surrealism.
