Hollywood Pictures Backlot Elephants

There were two elephant statues that formerly stood in the Hollywood Pictures Backlot at Disney California Adventure, which formerly stood atop the pillars of said area.
==History==
Hollywood Pictures Backlot is an opening day themed land at Disney California Adventure. The elephant statues were two decorative landmarks that marked the entrance to the Hollywood Pictures Backlot. Each elephant was designed in bronze texture standing on top of an Egyptian-themed pedestal resembling the ones at the Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, California in real life.
On April 12, 2011, the Hollywood Pictures Backlot entry sign was removed as well as its supporting columns; however, the elephants on their pedestals remained undisturbed as part of Hollywood Pictures Backlot being renamed to Hollywood Land as part of California Adventure undergoing a major renovation. The elephant sculptures were permanently removed as of April 11, 2012, almost exactly a year where the entry sign was removed. Despite that, the pedestals where the elephants once stood still remain, albeit with a new paint scheme, resulting in the Egyptian theme being removed.
==Trivia==
*During the Christmas season at Hollywood Pictures Backlot at Disney California Adventure, the elephant statues were decorated holding golden wreaths with stars located in the center.
