I believe the Hungarian Dance you are referring to was written by Brahms. However, there were other pieces by the same name composed by other composers.
Brahms of course
Brahms's most famous piece is the Lullaby, but Hungarian Dance No. 5 is pretty famous too.

The "mystery composer" you are asking about is Johannes Brahms, although it is stretching a point to say that Brahms took older forms and styles and redefined them in a "modern" way.Brahms certainly had his own voice, but no musicologist I have ever heard of would describe Brahms as an "innovator". He used existing forms in fresh ways, yes - but that's originality, not innovation - they are two different things. Brahms was a fine composer, but he was no trailblazer. His First symphony - and it is magnificent - was called "Beethoven's Tenth" for a reason.

The film uses classical music and especially well-known pieces to support a scene. A few examples:"Brahms Hungarian Dance No. 5" with acrobatic baboonsTchaikovsky's "Waltz of the Flowers", showing the miracle of the blooming desertWeber's "Invitation to the Dance" orchestrated by Berlioz, featuring the animals' celebration of Paradise's returnSmetana's "Die Moldau", throughout the movie, especially during the river scenes.
You must mean the Hungarian Dance no. 5 by Brahms, the only piece Eugene Ysaye ever recorded that comes close to that title. In 1996 Sony issued a CD of all of his recordings, Sony 62337, including this piece. If you want to buy a copy, you may not find it in a record store, and it will be rather expensive on the used-record market.
