I had the Talking VM, it was huge and awkward, plus with 2 C batteries, rather heavy for a little kid.

The discs actually had transparent records attached to them and a needle played the sound (just about like every other talking toy in the 70's).

You had to press a small button after advancing the picture or it would play the last sound over again. A mechanical marvel.

At first, I read the talking viewmaster as saying Let's go camping!

Which still works, albeit in a more awkward kinda way. Do bird-people do much camping?
