An animated display device includes a vertical main shaft, a body rotatably secured to the main shaft, and a drive device for driving the body to oscillate about the main shaft. In one embodiment, the display device also includes a rotatable appendage secured to the main body and a linkage for converting oscillating movement of the body about the main shaft into oscillating movement of the appendage. In another embodiment, the body is secured to a horizontal shaft which oscillates about the vertical shaft, and the body is also oscillatable about the horizontal shaft. The linkage converts the oscillating movement of the horizontal shaft about the main shaft into oscillating movement of the body about the horizontal shaft.
