Abstract
An animated telephone annunicator apparatus provides realistic movements so that a user of the apparatus appears to converse with the apparatus. The apparatus receives telephone signals, and in response to these received signals moves portions of the apparatus in synchronism with the signals. As a result, the apparatus appears to realistically speak the words of a calling party.
