Kelloggs Cocoa Krispies w/Snagglepuss (Chocolate Thoughts)

[@bookbill]

Since we only had a black & white set, it wasn't until we bought the cereals that I realized that Snagglepuss was pink , or that Huckleberry Hound was blue! And, yes,the budgets were much higher for the commercials,so the animation was better.

Daws Butler's Kellogg's commercials are my favorite kind of cereal commercials! No pun intended.

Nina Thumbell Snagglepuss might be cute but he's also a good person even

[@yosefdemby8792]

=Nina Thumbell No pun recognized.

[@ansumanahargett6227]

True.

[@ansumanahargett6227]

And a good spokesperson for Kellogg’s Coco Krispies.

[@Catdadonamission]

The pinnacle of marketing !

[@ansumanahargett6227]

I love chocolate cereal

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

This commercial actually had a title at the beginning that went "Snagglepuss' Dream".

[@Nodd18]

Love Snagglepuss! And pretty sure I recognize the voice of the fairy from Ms. Switch to the Rescue and other cartoons that called for a witchy sounding voice.

Witch hazel from Looney tunes

[@ansumanahargett6227]

No way, really.

[@SteveStalzle]

The voices of June Foray and Daws Butler.

[@ansumanahargett6227]

Wow! 🤩

[@Memo2Self]

What I am hoping to see on KZbin one day is an absolutely insane Snagglepuss commercial for Cocoa Krispies called "Sing Along With Snag." It featured an off-key Salvation Army-type brass band, lyrics that unexpectedly didn't rhyme (as he was singing them), and a bouncing ball that went berserk and finally wound up shattering the lighting, plunging the commercial into total darkness. Anyone else remember that?

[@jstrewth]

"Snagglepuss voice by DAWS BUTLER"... how often do you see something like THAT in commercials today?!

[@fromthesidelines]

That was to placate Bert Lahr, who tried to sue H-B (and Kellogg's) for using "his" voice in their commercials. While Daws loosely based his "Snagglepuss" voice on Bert, the threat of a lawsuit led to that on-screen disclaimer at the end of every Cocoa Krispies commercial featuring him.

[@ansumanahargett6227]

No Way!

[@lsl70]

I can't believe he murdered the fairy at the end through the callous act of choclatization.

[@fromthesidelines]

The original syndicated editions of "HUCKLEBERRY HOUND" (1958-'66), "QUICK DRAW Mc GRAW" (1959-'66) and "YOGI BEAR" (1961-'66), and the Kellogg's commercials featured within them, were shown in black and white [color prints of those series weren't distributed until the fall of '66]. Hanna-Barbera KNEW the future of TV was going to be "color", filming their series that way, even though very few TV shows were telecast in color during that period.

[@fromthesidelines]

This was first seen on "YOGI BEAR" in 1961, because Snagglepuss was a regular feature on his show, and Kellogg's was the sponsor (and Snag also appeared on the box!).

[@LikaLaruku]

Let's transport him to Hyrule & have him touch Navi.

[@Copper20]

Probably one of the best comments I've seen in a long time.

[@ansumanahargett6227]

and the best ideas too

[@fromthesidelines]

So, the comic books, "Little Golden" story books, covers of coloring books, lunch boxes and Kellogg's boxes, were the only way you could have "seen" Snagglepuss in full color at that time, 'bill'.

[@fromthesidelines]

That credit was to pacify Bert Lahr, 'jstrewth'. If he was displeased at hearing Daws Butler's "homage" to him, he certainly took umbriage at hearing "his" voice pitching a Kellogg's cereal {"Stealing my stuff, eh?"}, and threatened to sue everyone involved. It was settled in legal terms by having Butler receive a screen credit on every Kellogg's commercial "Snagglepuss" appeared in, in order to prove it WASN'T Lahr's voice. Bert himself began appearing in commercials in the mid-'60s.

[@aroojkazmi9773]

Wait the monkey used to be a lion?!

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

@lsl70 Yeah that was pretty callous of him, even after the fairy warned him!

[@ansumanahargett6227]

Like, King Midas.

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

@@ansumanahargett6227 Yep, hopefully he doesn't regret his powers when it backfires on him.

[@CornedBeefSurprise]

DAWS BUTLER ORIGINAL VOICE ARTIST DO NOT STEAL

[@rainstarflowerdroplets9624]
