ABSTRACT:
An interactive audiovisual work for telling a story includes a story element selector for selecting one of a plurality of differing actuatable story elements to be active, a character selector for selecting one of a plurality of differing actuatable characters to be active, and an identifier, active after a story element is selected, for identifying the character intended to be selected to be active at a given time according to the story. A microprocessor, responsive to the story element selector, the character selector and the character identifier, causes the selected character to speak a first-level message associated with the selected story element if the selected character and the identified character are the same, and a second-level message associated with the selected character otherwise, the first-level message being more specific and closely related to the selected story element than the second-level message.
