A Long Time Ago at Phantasialand in Germany there was a Theater called the Tanagra Theater. It was a Chinese themed Theater in the Area called Chinatown. It was opened from 1981 to 2001 20 Years. the Theater had Two Shows. Here are some Pictures of the First Show there.

The Animatronics were made by Hofmann Figuren

here is a Video of the First show too

Dear EloyCECSPPAnmatronicsFan,

the Tanagra Theater, was opened on June 5th 1981 when the chinese themed area was added to the theme park. It was opened because of the huge success of the first animatronic show "Die Klimbimski's". If it was called "Tanagra Theater" or "Tanakra Theater" is unclear since the theme park spelled it in both ways. The show was about several japanese traditions and legends. It was the first show that combined musical fountains and animatronics featuring a hedgehog conductor for the musical fountains. What exactly happened in the show is unclear to most people, since it didn't exist for a long time. The first show didn't even have a name, it was just called "Tanagra Show". Singing frogs, a girl taming a lion, some ducks and singing flowers, 4 singing dragons were only some of the acts you could see in there. Also there was a german elderly couple commenting some of the things happening there. For the finale they were singing their own version of the song "Hallelujah" with changed lyrics. What happened to most of the figures - they might be destroyed. However you can still see the elderly couple and the 4 singing dragons in the parks haunted house ride.
For the new season 1994 parts of the show were changed, most notably the showtape. The new show was called "Feuer, Wasser, Licht" (Fire, Water, Light) and featured a witch who could magically make the different elements change. The hedgehog was replaced by a robot and the other figures were exchanged and removed. The finale was changed to 4 children from all over the world singing "We are the World" while swaying left and right to the music. This show however wasn't really popular.
On May 1st 2001, the big Grand-Canyon Ride caught fire after some technical problems. Not only the big rollercoaster burned down, but also parts of the WildWest-themed area and the roof and most of the Tanagra Theater burned down. This fire left 70 people slightly hurt, but no one died. The damage had a cost of $20.900.000
With this fire, the last animatronic show at Phantasialand disappeared.

I'd also want you to know that most of the pictures you added to your post are copyrighted.

Many kind greetings,
Luke
