TV Commercial for Toy Seller F.A.O. Schwarz

On February 6, 1998 the following described commercial was shown on television. A little girl is given an elephant, full size Asian female, as a pet. In one part of the commercial she ties her pet to the fence in front of her home then boards the bus for school. The elephant, trying to follow her to school, uproots the fence and drags it along. Subsequently we see the child and the elephant "having tea" together using the child's play tea set. The action ends with a shot of the child and a very large toy elephant from the famous New York toy seller. The entire commercial is more than charming. The contrast between the size of the elephant and the child and her other toys is quite dramatic.
