Mickey Mouse Pull String Doll ... OR, Pal Mickey, 1976

A few years ago the Disney Company came out with an interactive plush Mickey Mouse called "Pal Mickey", Pal Mickey was deigned to actually interact, or react to electronic signals in the Disney parks, so if you were in Epcot he would tell you about things in Epcot, if you were at the Magic Kingdom he would share facts about that park and so on. While this pull string toy from 1976 is no where NEAR being up to THAT level of technology, it is an interesting parallel to think of this as a sort of precursor to that is some (tiny) way, and thought provoking as to how far the technology we would devote to something that is "just a toy" has advanced.
here are the 5 things he says during this video:
1 Oh Boy! ha ha
2. Are you a Mouseketeer too?
3. Mouseketeeers have big ears!
4. that tickles, ha, ha
5. M-I-C-K-E-Y

@MegamanX4ThArmor Yeah I realized the sound might not be 100% clear, so I listed the things he said in the description, but since you have to click the "more info" button to see that not everyone does, so I guess I could repeat now the 5 things he says during this video:

1 Oh Boy! ha ha

2. Are you a Mouseketeer too?

3. Mouseketeeers have big ears!

4. that tickles, ha, ha

5. M-I-C-K-E-Y

Neah its plastic toy not comparing with my MIckey Mouse made of plush

[bigbrianDASHncDOTcom]

@LiviuJETIX thanks, the comparison I'm making is how things have changed, since, in the 70's a talking mickey was a plastic pull string toy with a few lines, whereas pal Mickey was electronic with far more lines, as you pointed out he's a plush, which wasn't a word used that way back them, when I was growing up people didn't have "plush" toys or collectibles, they had "stuffed animals". So that difference you mention is correct, but that's the point too, comparing and contrasting the two.
