ABSTRACT:
An illuminated animated picture comprises a preferably transparent front panel with a picture painted on the front surface thereof, this panel defining the forward member of a housing having a plurality of rotating discs therein which are illuminated from behind, these discs having "programmed" opaque portions, and the remaining portions being transparent, which cooperate with a multiplicity of holes drilled at strategic locations in the front panel to indicate stars, the moon, shimmering waters or other lighted areas of the picture which are caused to twinkle or glimmer due to the action of the rotating discs, the interior of the housing preferably being silvered except for broad areas on the front panel which are to emit a glow through the painting on the forward portion.
