A controller circuit (41) supported within the doll interior controls the operation of the drive motors (45, 47). Microphones (30, 31) are operatively coupled to the control circuit. A computer (20) is provided with software (24) such as game or other activity software which includes a plurality of audible tone signals operative to cause the computer to output audible tones as instruction for the doll.
