Classic Commercial Sunday - The Many Sides of Woodsy

Even though I'm terrifyingly afraid of owls, I think Woodsy the Owl is a pretty great cartoon creation. He stared in a number of PSAs sponsored by the United States Forest Service beginning in 1970. His ads were always a pleasant part of afternoon cartoons in the 70's and 80's. Apparently everyone was too busy picking up litter to ever bother to keep track of what Woodsy's voice sounded like.

Here's an ad where he sounds like Winnie The Pooh...


Now he has the same voice as the Nestle Quick Rabbit...


and here's another random voice...


No matter what he sounds like, I love that jingle!!! (And I almost always internally sing it when I throw trash away in a park!)
