"FRENCH CANADIAN"
Chatty Cathy Doll
"Click on Video Below" UPDATE July 2009

I found a french speaking person and she emailed me (copy of the email below).

Hi,
I just listened to both versions of the French Chatty Cathy three times. Of the phrases you listed, I heard her say #2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11. I did not hear her say "Je suis bon sage," "J'ai tres sommeil," or "Je veux mon lait." She did say her name "Je suis Caroline" more than once and she did ask for candy more than once "Donnez-moi un bonbon.". The second recording did have her saying "Je suis tres gentile" more than once.

I really paid attention and I don't think she said all eleven phrases, she did repeat some things more than once or twice, especially her name. (End of email)

If you would like to hear the dolls talk please click on the Video (below) I will be selling these two dolls (maybe) When I repair them I will be changing the string and belt on both dolls. I will also be taking many more pictures of the dolls. Please email me if you have any questions about the doll. Again both record do say the same phrases so be assured both record are original Chatty Cathy doll records and her name is Caroline!

UpDate: I made a recording of her voice of her saying My name is Caroline. You can hear Caroline if you listen closely. Also the recording is of both the white record and the black record so you may hear both dolls saying "My name is Caroline. (recording is below please scroll down)

Scroll down or Click Here for a link to the video recordings of the French Canadian speaking Chatty Cathy voice.
Plus lots of pictures below of these dolls and their records.

Below is what these two records say and to what phrase the email above is referring to.

1) Je suis bien sage (I am very good! or I am well-behaved)
2) Je m'appelle Caroline (My name is Caroline)
3) Prenez-moi dans vos bras. (Take me in your arms)
4) J'ai faim, je veux manger (I'm hungry, I want to eat!)
5) Amen-moi dans mon petit lit (Put me in my little bed)
6) Je suis tres jolie (I am very pretty)
7) J'ai tres sommeil (I am very sleepy)
8) Donnez-moi un bonbon (Give me a candy!)
9) Je veux mon lait (I want my milk).
10) Je ferme mes jolies yeux (I will close my pretty eyes!)
11) Je suis tres gentile (I am very sweet!)

Update

Some very interesting information I have been told since making this page and asking this question. Email I was sent (below)

CAROLINE is the French Chatty Cathy. There are also German, Italian, Japanese, 2 variations of Spanish speaking and several versions of British speaking Chatty Cathy dolls. The French dolls come from the French speaking Provinces in Canada. "Quebec" Mattel's records can NOT be duplicated. They were cut in such a unique way that Mattel made their own cutting machines to make the little records and inscribe the sound in a manner that has never been done in making regular music records since Edison invented it.
NOTE:.. The above information was emailed to me. I do not know about these other foreign dolls. Meaning I do not know if Mattel made these dolls or not. The only foreign speaking doll I have even had is the French Chatty Cathy doll and the British (English) speaking doll Rose Bud.

Pictures below were taken for a old Canadian Eaton Christmas Catalog
Notice how they are selling a "French Speaking Chatty Cathy doll and a French speaking Chatty Baby Doll!

These two videos to your left and the two zip files to your right, are of video I made when I was still unsure about the French speaking Chatty Cathy doll. I am keeping them on this page only to give you some idea of the research I have done on this doll. I have been researching the French Speaking doll now for 3 years. So please if you have any questions about the doll please do not hesitate to email me. And please forgive all of my talking in the video!! I was new at recording..LOL..

PS: I bought my first French doll in 1999 so I have really been researching her for these past 10 years.
