(Disney-MGM, 1989) A Busby Berkeley dancer figure from the opening scene of the Great Movie Ride. The first tableau recreates Berkeley's 1933 Footlight Parade with a "cake" of about (30) identical dancers. For the first year of the ride's operation, this cake rotated with water jets, but mechanical and plumbing problems led to it modifying into a static scene with light effects adding "kinetics." Measuring 78"x35.5"x13.5", the figure is in good condition, with some scuffing overall and a broken thumb with damage to two fingers on the left hand.
