Teddy Ruxpin is an animatronic children's toy in the form of a talking 'Illiop', a creature which looks like a bear. The toy's mouth and eyes move while he reenacts stories played on an audio tape cassette deck built into its back. The talking toy was created and built by Ken Forsse and was first released in 1985. Teddy will make his long-awaited live-action/hybrid feature film debut, in a four-quadrant family comedy/adventure.
