Telemania Animated Telephones

Marilyn Monroe Telephone: This multi-function phone is a scale replica of Marilyn Monroe portraying one of her most memorable scenes from the movie, "The Seven Year Itch."

The phone features a switchable ringer (conventional or custom), demonstration button, volume control and tone/pulse button. ($99.99/Now)

Scooby-Doo! Animated Telephone: This officially licensed telephone from Warner Bros. Consumer Products puts Scooby-Doo and Shaggy in a scary haunted scene. Both characters come to life with an incoming call or the touch of the demonstration button. Also, spooky sounds will come from the phone, while the eyes of the "creatures of the night" light up. In fright, Scooby-Doo and Shaggy start talking and looking around to see what frightening fate is in store for them. This telephone is tone/pulse switchable with a last number redial feature. ($99.99/Now)

Snoopy Animated Telephone (50th Anniversary Edition): Jazz along with Snoopy and Woodstock for their Golden Anniversary. Snoopy is playing the saxophone while he dances and taps his foot to the original "Peanuts Theme" song. Woodstock even joins in the celebration by dancing along side of his companion. This custom animation feature is activated with an incoming call or a push of the animation button. This special edition telephone commemorates the 50th anniversary with a gold plate located on the telephone. The Snoopy Animated Telephone will incorporate a switchable ringer, last number redial and volume control. ($99.99/Now)

Walt Disney's Dixieland Band Animated Telephone: The first Walt Disney multi-character telephone ever! This telephone is a scene right out of Walt Disney's Dixieland Parade. Your master of ceremonies, Mickey Mouse is playing the banjo and stomping his foot to the beat. Not only do you have Mickey Mouse in the band, but also you have Goofy playing slide trombone, almost hitting the clarinet playing Donald Duck in the head. This officially licensed telephone is a "must have" for any Disney fan. The Walt Disney Dixieland Band Animated telephone has last number redial, volume control, and a demonstration button. ($99.99/Now)

Pluto Animated Telephone: Who else could it be, but Mickey's loyal companion, Pluto. When the telephone rings, Pluto will wag his tail, bark and whimper as Mickey Mouse gives him commands. When you remove the handset from Pluto's mouth, he looks at you, and looks down when it is returned. The handset shows actual bite marks from Pluto. This adorable telephone hits a soft spot with any Disney fan. The animation feature brings Pluto to life with an incoming call or with use of the demonstration button. The Pluto Animated telephone features last number redial and volume control. ($99.99/Now)
