An audio animation system, comprising: - two or more three-dimensional non-biotic figures comprising at least one first non-biotic figure (4,62) and at least one second non-biotic figure - an audio player (2,20) for transmitting audio signals to said at least one first non-biotic figure (4,62), said audio player being embedded inside said at least one first non-bionic figure (4,62) or being separate from said at least one first non-bionic figure (4,62) - said at least first non-biotic figure (4,62) having a radio frequency transmitter configured to broadcast radio frequency audio signals to be received by a radio frequency receiver of said at least one second non-biotic figure, an amplifier, and a speaker; - said at least one second non-biotic figure having circuitry, the circuitry including a radio frequency receiver for receiving a radio frequency audio signal transmitted by said radio frequency transmitter, an amplifier for amplifying said signal and a speaker unit for playing said audio signal; - said at least one first non-biotic figure and said at least one second non-biotic figure situated, in use, close enough to one another to be seen by a child as interacting with one another in a conversation; - said audio player (2,20) having two or more audio channels including one audio channel corresponding to said at least one first non-biotic figure and a second audio channel corresponding to said at least one second non-biotic figure, for simultaneously playing the radio frequency audio signals of said two or more audio channels associated with said at least one first non-biotic figure (4,62) and said at least one second non-biotic figures, the audio channels providing synchronized audio content configured to present to a child a conversation between said at least one first non-biotic figure and said at least one second non-biotic figure such that each audio channel corresponds to a part in the conversation spoken by one of said at least one first non-biotic figure and said at least one second non-biotic figure; - and said two or more speaker units (6, 28) of said at least one first non-biotic figure and said at least one second non-biotic figure corresponding to said two or more audio channels, including said first speaker playing an output of one of the audio channels and said second speaker playing an output of a second audio channel. - two or more three-dimensional non-biotic figures comprising at least one first non-biotic figure (4,62) and at least one second non-biotic figure - an audio player (2,20) for transmitting audio signals to said at least one first non-biotic figure (4,62), said audio player being embedded inside said at least one first non-bionic figure (4,62) or being separate from said at least one first non-bionic figure (4,62) - said at least first non-biotic figure (4,62) having a radio frequency transmitter configured to broadcast radio frequency audio signals to be received by a radio frequency receiver of said at least one second non-biotic figure, an amplifier, and a speaker; - said at least one second non-biotic figure having circuitry, the circuitry including a radio frequency receiver for receiving a radio frequency audio signal transmitted by said radio frequency transmitter, an amplifier for amplifying said signal and a speaker unit for playing said audio signal; - said at least one first non-biotic figure and said at least one second non-biotic figure situated, in use, close enough to one another to be seen by a child as interacting with one another in a conversation; - said audio player (2,20) having two or more audio channels including one audio channel corresponding to said at least one first non-biotic figure and a second audio channel corresponding to said at least one second non-biotic figure, for simultaneously playing the radio frequency audio signals of said two or more audio channels associated with said at least one first non-biotic figure (4,62) and said at least one second non-biotic figures, the audio channels providing synchronized audio content configured to present to a child a conversation between said at least one first non-biotic figure and said at least one second non-biotic figure such that each audio channel corresponds to a part in the conversation spoken by one of said at least one first non-biotic figure and said at least one second non-biotic figure; - and said two or more speaker units (6, 28) of said at least one first non-biotic figure and said at least one second non-biotic figure corresponding to said two or more audio channels, including said first speaker playing an output of one of the audio channels and said second speaker playing an output of a second audio channel.
