This is an EXTREMELY rare French talking plush toy of Kovu, a character from Disney's The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride. The plush is made by Lansay/Disney and is part of the Disney franchise. It is contemporary, meaning it was produced after 1968. The plush is a collectible item and falls under the Disneyana category.  It is in good working condition.  Because the bodily is heavy, it has caused his legs to sag a bit.
