A series of two Beef Ravioli commercials featured the Tin Man as a protagonist. Both commercials had the theme of the Tin Man trying to escape from crowds of hungry children, since a Beef Ravioli label was fixed to his back.
The look and sound of the Tin Woodman is closely based upon that of the 1939 film.
First Commercial[]
The Tin Man is pursued by children, and ducks into a building for cover; only to find that the building is an elementary school full of hungry children.
Second Commercial[]
The children chase the Tin Man through a suburban neighborhood, then finally corner him. His cries for help are heard off-screen.
