Fantasia Animal Ballet (1962)
Ted and Eleanor took a more fantastical approach for their 1962 display, which featured animals dancing together in a frozen landscape. An elephant, hippo, giraffe, alligator, and other creatures pirouetted in sparkly tutus on brass rods powered by electric motors. The entire wintery scene was done in turquoise, pink, and white to add to the enchanting quality of the fantasy ballet.
