They should bring this chap back, I love the tin man and if he says what I should do then I am going to listen to him and I know that if this had been on television when I was little, I would have listened to him then too.
Myron Waldman, who designed and animated this film, was a veteran animator who worked for decades at the Max Fleischer and Famous/Paramount cartoon studios in New York City. Part of this film was edited into a Heart Association public service TV spot well remembered by kids (like me!) who saw it often on Saturday mornings in the 70's.
Does anyone remember a similar tin man cartoon, but one shown in DARE. Where the Tin Man has his clock heart but started to smoke and then his chest filled with smoke and it started to badly affect his clock heart. I have been trying to find it for years now.
Wasn't there an anti-smoking one too? I remember this song but not where I saw it: “Smoke, is no joke. Smoking is a terrible habit. Smoking is bad for a woman, or man, or a kid, or a chipmunk or a rabbit.”
@@NotTesting123 Thank you. I hope someone uploads a copy of it someday because I would really enjoy seeing it again. I remember singing it to my father who smoked heavily, lol.
@@sonijam I've looked online for a copy every few years for a while. I'll let you know if I ever find one. :) I've been doing even more research since my last post (which I deleted). The PSA did come out in the 70s as I first thought, not the 80s, though the song wasn't copyrighted till 1981 apparently. The 8-minute film with the song we're thinking of is called "The Heart That Changed Color", made by the American Heart Association.
Oh that's great to know the title! I've thought about this song and film so many times over the years but no one else seems to remember. I was beginning to think I'd imagined it.
@@sonijam I saw it on VHS in gym class in elementary school in the early 2000s, I've seen shockingly little about it online though. I distinctly remember they sing a song about the circulatory system, then later on in the special the tin man and scarecrow (and maybe the cowardly lion as well?) take a journey through the "land of nicotine" to meet the "Queen of Nicotine" It's been haunting me for 2 decades now, when I saw it I'd never even heard of the Wizard of Oz so it seemed so utterly bizarre to me
@@sonijam I recently found that someone uploaded the video of it here less than a year ago. I can't directly link it w/o the comment disappearing, so here's the important part it: /watch?v=FIEbGvRFcWs
@@Fuhjcfffeewww Yes. I actually saw it back in elementary school myself. From what I remember, it started off with Tin Man and Scarecrow debating on which path to go down, one leading to "Thistletown", and another leading to "Nicotine". Tin Man convinces the scarecrow to go to Nicotine, and once they reach it, they both get harassed by the residents, who obviously represent Nicotine and its harmful effects. I don't remember what they looked like or what happened after that, but I'm pretty sure it's what Michael Witherell is referring to.
Lost media that needs more attention. Distinctly remember there being more of these, including one where he sings a song about the circulatory system, and one warning about the dangers of smoking

Didn't they do a series of these? I remember one I saw at school that was anti-smoking and seemed longer
I recognize Thurl Ravenscroft's (Tony the Tiger) voice as a Talking Tree!

How good! It would explain why this has such beautiful animation.
Waldman worked for Hal Seeger on Batfink and Milton The Monster at that time
@@SgtBilby _Batfink_ was one of my favorites!
Background artist Robert Owen also worked for Paramount at the time, and did extensive moonlighting for Seeger.
Danny thomas. 😂
This reminds me of those old Disney cartoons.

2:41 That's was the the voice of the guy that played Lurch on the original Addam's Family.
This was a cool ad, but I miss seeing both the tin man and scarecrow in one together.
Was there one where they were?

UPDATE: It's been found! It's called "The Heart That Changed Color".
There's a sequel to this one - called "The Heart That Changed Color" where would I find a copy online?

2:31 The Tin Woodman doesn't eat....
Everyone keeps forgetting
He did before he was turned into a tin man, he was a human at first. And to be fair the song is just to tell children what to do and not to do.
@@eleanorhogan8643 But he's not flesh and blood in this ad.
@@MaskedMan66 But he was orginally, until the witch put a spell on him.
@@eleanorhogan8643 The spell was on his axe, and that still doesn't matter, as he is tin in this ad.
That poor tin man.

Oz never did give him nothing that he didn't already have.
Great upload!!
