I've never had toys like this but it was always fun to visit my grandparents and play with what they left their grandchildren. There were several "tracks" on the records, and each of them was responsible for playing a note when it came to hand. In fact, it was the recordings that made the music play and caused the physical action that caused the sound to appear. Pretty clever introduction to serialized data. This is a new invention and it's even worse. There are no more correct tracks, just raised pseudo-ring-shaped bulges that a rotary arm reads and lets the music play. No matter where you are, it plays from the beginning. There's no physical interaction either, he plays from his internal electronic player (which is why batteries are needed). The player needs to be running, but there's no real reason why it's necessary at all. This is a purely visual effect. So when it wears off, the music doesn't slow down, it just stutters. All the elegance of the original design has been lost, and there is no longer any connection to what it was originally intended to be, save for some sort of grotesque parody. Entertain little kids so I'll give it some stars. My son loves watching it and listening to music. But whatever it was, you might as well play something for him on your smartphone. I feel like it's meant to evoke nostalgia in parents like me, not to make a good toy for the kid.
