By 1959, Columbia University's marine geologists had completed charting a mysterious 47,000-mile-long chain of undersea mountains and ridges that twist through the middle of the major oceans like the seams of a giant basketball.

Also on hand are Pluto, the Three Little Pigs, Donald Duck, Dumbo and his circus, Cinderella, the Jungle Book characters, Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan. Each act and character is introduced on the giant overhead movie screen with clips from the appropriate Disney movie. Around the edges of the portable stage is a 6-ft.-wide...
