3.0 out of 5 stars A cute piece of junk, February 12, 2004

My 4-year-old daughter received this for Christmas. She loved it - she had been asking for it for about 2 months. It broke after one week. It wouldn't sing or dance, even after installing fresh batteries. We had a gift receipt, so we took it back to Toys R Us & exchanged it. The second one broke after only a few days. My daughter is not unusally rough with it, so there isn't anything we're doing to make it break. I e-mailed Disney to just see if there were any known issues with this product, like defects, etc. Their response was that they couldn't help me in any way because it was purchased from a 3rd party. I went back to Toys R Us again to exchange it for the second time and believe it or not, it broke in the car on the drive home. I even tried to change the batteries & reset it by turning it off & on again, but nothing worked. I cannot believe how poorly this toy is manufactured. I have never been so dissatisfied with a toy.

My 4 yr old son received this item for Christmas last year and was thrilled, he absolutely loved it, that is until it just quit working after one week. We tried replacing the batteries, etc., and could not get it to work again. Now he just has a "hard" stuffed animal. I probably should have taken it back, but since I had ordered it online, I was unsure if I would have problems. My son was very disappointed,as he wanted this toy badly. Since the price has dratically dropped, I debated getting him another one, but after a review from another consumer, I am hesitant.

Maybe Disney ought to rethink and get involved with their defective toys. It doesn't matter where it was purchased, it comes from Disney.

3.0 out of 5 stars Gets boring, January 16, 2004

My daughter got Simba for her 3rd birthday. She asked for him and is pretty happy with him. However, he says only 6 things and seems to respond to your answers, but after a while even my three year old got bored and only muttered the same answers to his same questions. She actually asked us to turn him off and plays with him like a stuffed animal instead of an interactive toy. She does play with him, though. He just did not meet our expectations.
