Linus the Lionhearted is an American animated television series featuring a main character of the same name. The character was created in 1959 by the Ed Graham advertising agency, originally as a series of ads for General Foods' Post Cereals.
Linus the Lionhearted may very well be the only food mascot to have his own television show. Created in 1959 to promote Post Cereals' short-lived Heart of Oats, Linus (voiced by Sheldon Leonard) originally used the Roger Rabbit Effect to showcase his cereal to human actors.
Linus was a lion who ruled the jungle and all of the animals in it. He also happened to be the mascot of Post’s Krispy Kritters cereal. In fact, the entire cartoon was essentially a forum for General Foods to promote their cereals.
